## Summary of the Pull Request
After enabling Hybrid CRT, the PowerToys process failed to properly
unload some module interface DLLs when quit application. The root cause
is still unclear, but this change reverts the behavior to ensure safe
unloading.

## Summary of the Pull Request
**Root Cause**
The issue occurs because the Installed property in MSI indicates whether
the current product code has been installed on the machine.
During a Major Upgrade (where the old and new versions have different
ProductCode values), the installation sequence is:
1. Burn schedules uninstall of the old MSI (the old version might not
have this custom action).
2. Then installs the new MSI.
> - At this point, the current product has not yet been installed, so
the Installed property is empty.
> - The condition NOT Installed evaluates to true, and
SetBundleInstallLocationData / SetBundleInstallLocation executes
normally, writing the InstallLocation registry key.
This means upgrading from an older version without this function to a
newer version with it works correctly.
However, issues appear in subsequent upgrades (from “newer” → “newer”)
because both versions include the same custom action.
The previous condition restricted the action to run only on first
install, preventing it from running during upgrades.
**Fix**
Added `OR WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED` to the condition of
SetBundleInstallLocationData / SetBundleInstallLocation custom actions,
so they also execute during upgrade scenarios, ensuring the
InstallLocation registry value is correctly updated after version
upgrades.

## Summary of the Pull Request
To support DSCv3, we previously added the PowerToys installer path to
the environment PATH. However, this change may cause some other
applications to crash.
This PR removes the installer path temporarily until we find a better
way to support DSCv3.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request adds support for building, installing, and managing a
shared sparse MSIX package to grant package identity to select Win32
components in PowerToys. It introduces a new `PackageIdentity` project,
updates the installer to handle the new MSIX package during
install/uninstall, and provides developer documentation for working with
the sparse package. Additionally, new dependencies and signing rules are
included to support these changes.
**Sparse Package Identity Support**
* Added new `PackageIdentity` project to the solution for building the
sparse MSIX package, and included it in solution/project build
configurations (`PowerToys.sln`).

* Added developer documentation (`sparse-package.md`) and updated
documentation indexes to describe how to build, register, and consume
the sparse MSIX package.

**Installer Enhancements**
* Implemented new custom actions in the installer to install and
uninstall the `PowerToysSparse.msix` package, supporting both per-user
and machine-level scenarios (`CustomAction.cpp`, `CustomAction.def`,
`Product.wxs`).
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-a7680a20bf0315cff463a95588a100c99d2afc53030f6e947f1f1dcaca5eefd7R597-R806)

**Build and Dependency Updates**
* Added new NuGet package dependencies for Windows App SDK AI and
Runtime to support MSIX and sparse package features
(`Directory.Packages.props`).
* Updated signing pipeline to include the new `PowerToysSparse.msix`
artifact (`.pipelines/ESRPSigning_core.json`).

## Summary:
This pull request refactors the installer build pipeline to simplify and
modernize the process, focusing exclusively on the WiX 5 (VNext)
installer and removing legacy WiX 3 support. It eliminates the use of
the `installerSuffix` parameter and related logic, removes the legacy
installer build steps and scripts, and updates documentation to reflect
the new architecture. The changes streamline the pipeline, reduce
complexity, and ensure only the latest installer is built and signed.
Pipeline and build system simplification:
* Removed the `installerSuffix` parameter and all related logic from
pipeline templates and YAML files, including file naming, build steps,
and hash calculation scripts.
* Removed legacy WiX 3 installer build steps and the associated script
`installWiX.ps1`, focusing exclusively on WiX 5 (VNext) installer
builds.
Installer signing and build process updates:
* Updated `.pipelines/ESRPSigning_installer.json` to remove signing
configuration for the legacy `PowerToysSetupCustomActions.dll`, ensuring
only the VNext DLL is signed.
Documentation updates:
* Updated `doc/devdocs/core/installer.md` to remove references to WiX 3,
clarify the installer architecture as WiX 5 only, and describe the new
build process.
## CheckList:
- [ ] Should Build successfully and produce installer for both per user
and per machine
- [ ] Should install without problem

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Known bugs:
- Default settings not saving correctly when switching modes
- Issue: Sometimes when you switch from one mode to another, they are
supposed to update with new defaults but sometimes this fails for the
second variable. Potentially has to do with accessing the settings file
while another chunk of code is still updating.
- Sometimes the system looks "glitched" when switching themes
### To do:
- [x] OOBE page and assets
- [x] Logic to disable the chart when no location has been selected
- [x] Localization
### How to and what to test
Grab the latest installer from the pipeline below for your architecture
and install PowerToys from there.
- Toggle theme shortcutSystem only, Apps only, Both system and apps
selected
- Does changing the values on the settings page update the settings
file? %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/PowerToys/LightSwitch/settings.json
- Manual mode: System only, Apps only, Both system and apps selected
- Sunrise modes: Are the times accurate?
- If you manage to let this run through sunset/rise does the theme
change?
- Set your theme to change within the next minute using manual mode and
set your device to sleepOpen your device and login once the time you set
has passed. --> Do your settings resync once the next minute ticks after
logging back into your device?
- Disable the service and ensure the tasks actually ends.
- While the module is disabled:
- Make sure the shortcut no longer works
- Make sure the last time you set doesn't trigger a theme change
- Bonus: Toggle GPO Configuration and make sure you are unable to enable
the module

This pull request adds a new build and signing step for the
`SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` DLL in the installer pipeline and makes a
minor project configuration update. The main goal is to ensure that this
DLL is built and signed as part of the CI process, and that its output
is preserved during subsequent build steps.
**Pipeline changes:**
* Added a new build step in
`.pipelines/v2/templates/steps-build-installer-vnext.yml` to compile the
`SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` target from the `PowerToysSetup.sln`
solution, with appropriate MSBuild arguments and logging.
* Introduced a conditional code-signing step for the
`SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` DLL, using the existing ESRP signing
template and policies.
* Updated the comment for the main installer build step to clarify that
it now preserves both the MSI and `SilentFilesInUseBAFunction` outputs.
**Project configuration:**
* Set the `ProjectName` property to `PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext`
in `SilentFilesInUseBAFunction.vcxproj` for clearer project
identification.

* Modified `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.csproj` to disable Appx bundling and set
a specific test directory for Appx packages during CI builds, improving
build output organization.
These updates help ensure the project stays current with the latest SDKs
and improves reliability and transparency in the build process.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Background: The current PowerToys installer is built using Wix3, which
has now been deprecated. To improve security, service quality, and
community support, we’re upgrading the installer to Wix5.
Implementation:
Created Wix5-based projects(PowerToysSetupVext and
PowerToysSetupCustomActionsVNext) within the installer while retaining
the existing Wix3 project. Both versions are built to generate separate
installation packages. The Wix3-related code will be removed after
successful release testing confirms no issues.
Special case:
Wix5 has removed the property for 'ShowFilesInUse'. Now, whenever a file
is in use during installation, a FilesInUse pop-upwill automatically
appear asking for the next step. To ensure this doesn't interfere with
scenarios that require silent installation (e.g. Winget method), we’ve
handled it using the bafunction approach.

## Summary of the Pull Request
## Root Cause
WiX-based registration creates persistent Shell Extension entries that:
1. Load DLLs even when the module is disabled
2. Cause cross-OS version conflicts (Win11 loading Win10 extensions)
## Changes Made
1. Removed static Shell Extension registration from PowerToys installer
2. Modified modules to register Shell Extensions during Runner startup
### Modified Modules:
- **PowerRename** (`src/modules/powerrename/dll/dllmain.cpp`)
- **NewPlus**
(`src/modules/NewPlus/NewShellExtensionContextMenu/powertoys_module.cpp`)
- **ImageResizer** (`src/modules/imageresizer/dll/dllmain.cpp`)
- **FileLocksmith**
(`src/modules/FileLocksmith/FileLocksmithExt/PowerToysModule.cpp`)
## Known Migration Issue
**Machine-level installer registry residue**: win10 with machine-level
installers may have residual Shell Extension registry entries that
persist with this change.

## AI Summary
This pull request refactors how shell extension registry keys are
managed during installation and uninstallation for several PowerToys
modules. The main change is moving registry key cleanup logic for
context menu shell extensions (ImageResizer, FileLocksmith, PowerRename,
NewPlus) from static installer definitions to new custom uninstall
actions, ensuring more reliable removal and future extensibility.
**Installer and Uninstall Refactoring**
* Added new custom actions (`CleanImageResizerRuntimeRegistryCA`,
`CleanFileLocksmithRuntimeRegistryCA`,
`CleanPowerRenameRuntimeRegistryCA`, `CleanNewPlusRuntimeRegistryCA`) to
programmatically clean up registry keys for each shell extension during
uninstall, implemented in `CustomAction.cpp` and exported in
`CustomAction.def`.

* Registered these custom actions in `Product.wxs` and ensured they run
before file removal during uninstall.

**Removal of Static Registry Key Definitions**
* Removed static registry key and component definitions for context menu
shell extensions from their respective installer `.wxs` files
(`FileLocksmith.wxs`, `ImageResizer.wxs`, `PowerRename.wxs`,
`NewPlus.wxs`), relying on custom actions for cleanup instead.

**Project File Update**
* Added `shell_ext_registration.h` to the solution file, possibly for
future shell extension registration logic.
These changes improve uninstall reliability and centralize registry
cleanup logic, making future maintenance and extension of shell
extension registration much simpler.

### Root cause:
Problem Previously the installer installed ImageResizer satellite
assemblies into [INSTALLFOLDER]<culture>*.dll. The runtime probes
WinUI3Apps<culture>\ for WinUI3 app resource assemblies, so localization
failed.
### Fix:
Updated Resources.wxs: ImageResizer_$(var.IdSafeLanguage)_Component now

## AI Summary
This pull request updates the installer configuration in `Resources.wxs`
to support resource management for WinUI 3 apps. The main changes ensure
that resource directories and uninstall logic properly handle the new
`WinUI3AppsInstallFolder`, and update the component registration for
localized resources.
**Installer resource management updates:**
* Added `WinUI3AppsInstallFolder` to the list of parent directories for
resource file generation, ensuring resources for WinUI 3 apps are
included during installer builds.
**Component and uninstall logic updates:**
* Updated the `ImageResizer` component to register its resources under
`Resource$(var.IdSafeLanguage)WinUI3AppsInstallFolder` instead of the
default install folder, aligning with the new directory structure for
WinUI 3 apps.
* Added uninstall logic to remove the localized resource folder for
`WinUI3AppsInstallFolder`, ensuring cleanup of WinUI 3 app resources
during uninstall.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes WiX installer build failure caused by GUID conflict between
`BgcodePreviewHandler` and `GcodePreviewHandler` components in the
Resources.wxs file.
### Root cause
Both `BgcodePreviewHandler` and `GcodePreviewHandler` components were
using the same GUID suffix `07`, causing WiX build errors due to
duplicate component GUIDs across all language variations.
### Fix
Changed `BgcodePreviewHandler` component GUID suffix from `07` to `22`
to ensure unique component identification.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This Bug started when the Win11 context menu integration was first
introduced by Image Resizer in version v0.60.0.
Move Image Resizer to the WinUI3Apps folder to fix file preview issue
when PowerToys is installed on a non-C:\Program Files.
This aligns with the current structure used by File Locksmith and
PowerRename, which are not WinUI 3 apps either, but are already located
there.
### Root Cause:
When registering an MSIX package, the Windows API adds certain user
permissions to the installation folders. Since Image Resizer was
previously placed under the main PowerToys directory, these permission
changes could prevent Explorer from loading its preview handler properly
in per-user scenarios.

Interestingly, this issue only affects per-user installs, not
machine-wide installs (e.g., to Program Files), even though both
locations receive additional permissions. The exact reason is still
unclear and requires further investigation.

This pull request adopts the unified versioning scheme used by Windows Terminal, Notepad, and hundreds of other internal and public projects that relied on "XES" or "PackageES".
It only does so for the command palette.
All command palette assets will be versioned according to the Major and Minor number in `src/modules/cmdpal/custom.props`. This includes DLLs, EXEs, NuGet packages and MSIX bundles.
This will ensure that all artifacts that we produce are versioned
properly:
| thing | version (ex.) |
|---------|-----------------|
| dll/exe | 0.2.2505.08001 |
| nupkg | 0.2.250508001 |
| appx | 0.2.3269.0 |
For reference, here's the version format:
### EXE, DLL, .NET Assembly
0.2.2505.08001
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### NuGet Package
0.2.250508001
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### AppX Package
0.2.01281.0 (the leading 0 will be removed)
^ ^ ^ ^^ ^
| | | || `-Contractually always zero (a waste)
| | | |`-Build # on that date
| | | `-Number of days in [base year]
| | `-Number of years since [base year]
| `-Minor
`-Major
[base year] = $(XesBaseYearForStoreVersion)
It is expected that the base year is changed every time the version
number is changed.

Windows Command Palette ("CmdPal") is the next iteration of PowerToys Run. With extensibility at its core, the Command Palette is your one-stop launcher to start _anything_.
By default, CmdPal is bound to <kbd>Win+Alt+Space</kbd>.


----
This brings the current preview version of CmdPal into the upstream PowerToys repo. There are still lots of bugs to work out, but it's reached the state we're ready to start sharing it with the world. From here, we can further collaborate with the community on the features that are important, and ensuring that we've got a most robust API to enable developers to build whatever extensions they want.
Most of the built-in PT Run modules have already been ported to CmdPal's extension API. Those include:
* Installed apps
* Shell commands
* File search (powered by the indexer)
* Windows Registry search
* Web search
* Windows Terminal Profiles
* Windows Services
* Windows settings
There are a couple new extensions built-in
* You can now search for packages on `winget` and install them right from the palette. This also powers searching for extensions for the palette
* The calculator has an entirely new implementation. This is currently less feature complete than the original PT Run one - we're looking forward to updating it to be more complete for future ingestion in Windows
* "Bookmarks" allow you to save shortcuts to files, folders, and webpages as top-level commands in the palette.
We've got a bunch of other samples too, in this repo and elsewhere
### PowerToys specific notes
CmdPal will eventually graduate out of PowerToys to live as its own application, which is why it's implemented just a little differently than most other modules. Enabling CmdPal will install its `msix` package.
The CI was minorly changed to support CmdPal version numbers independent of PowerToys itself. It doesn't make sense for us to start CmdPal at v0.90, and in the future, we want to be able to rev CmdPal independently of PT itself.
Closes#3200, closes#3600, closes#7770, closes#34273, closes#36471, closes#20976, closes#14495

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**
- [ ] Images and descriptions in Settings and OOBE need to be properly defined, as mentioned before
- [ ] Niels is on it
- [x] Doesn't start properly from PowerToys unless the fix PR is merged.
- https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/556 merged
- [x] I seem to lose focus a lot when I press on some limits, like between the search bar and the results.
- This is https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/427
- [x] Turned off an extension like Calculator and it was still working.
- Need to get rid of that toggle, it doesn't do anything currently
- [x] `ListViewModel.<FetchItems>` crash
- Pretty confident that was fixed in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/553
**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. That's weird when just starting PowerToys/ logging in to the computer with PowerToys auto-start activated. I think this should at least be a setting.
- Needing to double press a result for it to do the default action seems quirky. If one is already selected, I think just pressing should be enough for it to do the action.
- This is currently a setting, though we're thinking of changing the setting even more: https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/392
- There's no URI extension. Was surprised when typing a URL that it only proposed a web search.
- [x] There's no System commands extension. Was expecting to be able to quickly restart the computer by typing restart but it wasn't there.
- This is in PR https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/452

This pull request rewrites the entire Azure DevOps build system.
The guiding principles behind this rewrite are:
- No pipeline definitions should contain steps (or tasks) directly.
- All jobs should be in template files.
- Any set of steps that is reused across multiple jobs must be in
template files.
- All artifact names can be customized (via a property called
`artifactStem` on all templates that produce or consume artifacts).
- No compilation happens outside of the "Build" phase, to consolidate
the production and indexing of PDBs.
- All step and job templates are named with `step` or `job` _first_,
which disambiguates them in the templates directory.
- Most jobs can be run on different `pool`s, so that we can put
expensive jobs on expensive build agents and cheap jobs on cheap
build agents. Some jobs handle pool selection on their own, however.
Our original build pipelines used the `VSBuild` task _all over the
place._ This resulted in PowerToys being built in myriad ways, different
for every pipeline. There was an attempt at standardization early on,
where `ci.yml` consumed jobs and steps templates... but when
`release.yml` was added, all of that went out the window.
It's the same story as Terminal (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/15808).
The new pipelines are consistent and focus on a small, well-defined set
of jobs:
- `job-build-project`
- This is the big one!
- Takes a list of build configurations and platforms.
- Produces an artifact named `build-PLATFORM-CONFIG` for the entire
matrix of possibilities.
- Builds all of the installers.
- Optionally signs the output (all of the output).
- Admittedly has a lot going on.
- `job-test-project`
- Takes **one** build config and **one** platform.
- Consumes `build-PLATFORM-CONFIG`
- Selects its own pools (hardcoded) because it knows about
architectures and must choose the right agent arch.
- Runs tests (directly on the build agent).
- `job-publish-symbols-using-symbolrequestprod-api`
- Consumes `**/*.pdb` from all prior build phases.
- Uploads all PDBs in one artifact to Azure DevOps
- Uses Microsoft's internal symbol publication REST API to submit
stripped symbols to MSDL for public consumption.
Finally, this pull request has some additional benefits:
- Symbols are published to the private and public feeds at the same
time, in the same step. They should be available in the public symbol
server for public folks to debug against!
- We have all the underpinnings necessary to run tests on ARM64 build
agents.
- Right now, `ScreenResolutionUtility` is broken
- I had to introduce a custom version of `UseDotNet` which would
install the right architecture (🤦); see https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/20300.
- All dotnet and nuget versioning is consolidated into a small set of
step templates.
- This will provide a great place for us to handle versioning changes
later, since all versioning happens in one place.
There is no reason to use Invoke-Expression to execute a string
containing a path to another powershell script. You can just run the
powershell script directly.
But then if you're going to do that, why not make it all part of the
same script and use functions?
