|
||||
- File search: Added filter buttons to show *all items*, *files only*, or *folders only*. Selecting a filter adds `kind:folders` or `kind:not folders` to narrow results.

|
||||

||||
- Window Walker: UWP apps no longer show a "not responding" label when suspended. — Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek).
|

|
||||
- Windows Terminal profiles: Fixed a rare crash in the Windows Terminal extension when the `LOCALAPPDATA` environment variable was missing. The path is now retrieved via a reliable API. — Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek).

### Cursor Wrap
|
||||

|
||||
- Fixed settings consistency during batch resize operations by capturing settings once before processing. Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)
|
||||
|
||||
### Light Switch
|
||||
- Light Switch now includes an **Off** option that disables automatic theme switching while still allowing manual toggles. ([#42434](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42434)).
|
||||
- When you change your location or switch between schedules (e.g., from sunset/sunrise to specific times), sunrise and sunset times are recalculated immediately and log messages correctly reference dark mode. ([#42774](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42774)).
|
||||
- Light Switch treats changes made in Windows Settings as manual overrides. When you change the scheduled time, it now takes effect immediately rather than waiting for the next cycle. ([#42882](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42882)).
|
||||
- Manual overrides are now cleared even if the schedule boundary is crossed while you were offline. This prevents the theme from staying incorrectly set. ([#43072](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/43072)).
|
||||
- The Light Switch internals were refactored for easier maintenance and to ensure consistent state across manual overrides and scheduled changes. There are no significant user-visible changes. ([#43159](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/43159)).

|
||||
- Enhanced service to immediately recalculate sun times when schedule mode or coordinates change.
|
||||
- Introduces new UI to allow the users to manually enter their lat/long.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mouse Pointer Crosshairs
|
||||
- You can now toggle between the Mouse Pointer Crosshairs and the Gliding Cursor modes. The system remembers the state so that switching back restores the previous behaviour. ([#42105](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42105)). Thanks [#mikehall-ms](https://github.com/mikehall-ms).
|
||||
- Enabled switching between Mouse Pointer Crosshairs and Gliding Cursor modes. Thanks [@mikehall-ms](https://github.com/mikehall-ms).
|
||||
|
||||
### Mouse Without Borders
|
||||
- When using Mouse Without Borders, horizontal scroll gestures now work across devices (when both machines are running the updated version), enabling smoother navigation for wide documents and spreadsheets. ([#42179](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42179)). Thanks [@MasonBergstrom](https://github.com/MasonBergstrom).
|
||||
- Added horizontal scrolling support. Thanks [@MasonBergstrom](https://github.com/MasonBergstrom).
|
||||
|
||||
### Peek
|
||||

|
||||
- Fixed Peek locking audio/video files. ([#42055](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42055)) Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)
|
||||
- Fixed media files remaining locked after preview window closes. Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)!
|
||||
- Added command-line interface for previewing files via CLI or named pipe. Thanks [@prochan2](https://github.com/prochan2)!
|
||||
|
||||
### PowerRename
|
||||
- PowerRename no longer crashes due to a missing resources file. The build process now generates the required PRI file automatically. ([#42300](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42300)).
|
||||
- PowerRename can extract metadata (e.g., EXIF and XMP) from photos. You can use patterns like `%Camera`, `%Lens`, `%ExposureTime`, and more to rename images based on their properties. ([#41728](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/41728)).
|
||||
- PowerRename no longer crashes due to a missing resources file.
|
||||
- Added photo metadata extraction support using EXIF and XMP for pattern-based renaming with camera info, GPS coordinates, and date taken.
|
||||
|
||||
### PowerToys Run
|
||||
- PowerToys Run now suppresses additional Desktop Window Manager and WPF exceptions that previously caused visible error dialogs. The app recovers automatically and logs these errors instead. ([#42588](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/42588)). Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek).
|
||||
- Added retry logic with exponential backoff to handle DWM composition errors during theme changes. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek).
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Accent
|
||||
- Added the diameter symbol (⌀) to Quick Accent – Quick Accent now offers the Ø/⌀ characters when the special characters language is selected; pressing Shift+O inserts the diameter symbol, meeting a common user request. ([#41954](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/41954)) thanks to [@anselumjuju](https://github.com/anselumjuju).
|
||||
- Added diameter symbol (⌀) for Shift+O in Special Characters mode, thanks to [@anselumjuju](https://github.com/anselumjuju).

- Simplified the shortcut‑conflict accessibility logic to reduces complexity and ensure a consistent name regardless of the number of conflicts ([#43348](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/43348)).
|
||||
- Add local “Generated Files” include path to fix Win10 New+ build. ([#43461](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/43461)).
|
||||
- Ensure the InstallLocation registry entry is correctly updated during upgrades as well as fresh installs. ([#43462](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/43462)).

### Tests
|
||||
- Restored Ctrl + Space activation for Peek UI tests. This ensures tests use a consistent activation key and removes flakiness
|
||||
- Added automated UI tests for the Text Extractor. These improvements increase reliability but do not change the user experience. ([#41947](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/41947).
|
||||
- Updated the build pipeline to support Windows Server 2022. #43287
|
||||
