4d47659ff9 Fix PowerRename crash caused by missing PRI file (#42300) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Not sure why In WinAppSDK 1.8, the default WinUI targets no longer
automatically generate PRI files for unpackaged apps.
By importing the MSIX SDK build tools, the project gains standalone PRI
generation capability.

97e62b3253 CmdPal: Update special fallbacks separately from the other fallbacks (#42289) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a hotfix that updates special fallback items
separately from the rest. This allows the loop handling special fallback
items to finish faster, ensuring they are not delayed by other fallback
items. As a result, calculator and run fallback items will be more
readily available to users.

This partially solves #42286 for special fallback items.

cd5b76c988 CmdPal: make the context menu search look more like a cmdpal (#42081) 
Replaces our styling with the same styleing we use for the search bar

But we can't _just_ do that, because the stupid "text cursors don't show
up on top of transparent backgrounds" thing.

So I just added the smoke backdrop to the search box. Seemed reasonable.

Screenshots below.

f44addb29c Fixed manual override event (#42280) 
Issue: When using the shortcut to switch modes manually, the service
would try to correct the theme to the expected mode.
Problem: Event resetting between each loop.
Fix: Set the event to be manually reset only so that the event isn't
resetting between each loop. The rest of the code was already written to
expect this behavior so no other changes should be necessary.

1e3429dd3a Introduce worktree helper scripts for faster multi-branch development in PowerToys (#42076) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request introduces a new suite of helper scripts for managing
Git worktrees in the `tools/build` directory, along with comprehensive
documentation. The scripts streamline common workflows such as creating,
reusing, and deleting worktrees for feature branches, forks, and
issue-based development, making it easier for developers to work on
multiple changes in parallel without duplicating the repository. Each
script is provided as both a PowerShell (`.ps1`) and Windows batch
(`.cmd`) wrapper for convenience. A detailed markdown guide explains
usage patterns, scenarios, and best practices.

**New worktree management scripts:**

* Added `New-WorktreeFromFork.ps1`/`.cmd` to create a worktree from a
branch in a personal fork, handling remote creation and branch tracking
automatically.

* Added `New-WorktreeFromBranch.ps1`/`.cmd` to create or reuse a
worktree for an existing local or remote branch, with logic to fetch and
track branches as needed.
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-07c08acfb570e1b54647370cae17e663e76ee8cb09614cac7a23a9367f625a3eR1-R69)

* Added `New-WorktreeFromIssue.ps1`/`.cmd` to create a new issue branch
from a base ref (default `origin/main`), slugifying the issue title for
branch naming.
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-36cb35f3b814759c60f770fc9cc1cc9fa10ceee53811d95a85881d8e69c1ab07R1-R67)

* Added `Delete-Worktree.ps1`/`.cmd` to safely remove a worktree, with
options to force removal, keep the local branch, or retain orphan fork
remotes. Includes robust error handling and manual recovery guidance.
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-8a335544864c1630d7f9bec6f4113c10d84b8e26054996735da41516ad93e173R1-R120)

**Documentation:**

* Introduced `Wokrtree-Guidelines.md`, a comprehensive guide covering
the purpose, usage, flows, naming conventions, troubleshooting, and best
practices for the new worktree scripts.

f55c49e15b CmdPal: adjust frecency weighting (#42242) 
In #41959 we changed the string matcher's weighting. It ended up giving
us lower scores than before.

That meant that the weighting from recent commands was far too heavy,
and it was polluting the results. Basically any command that you'd run
would be like, 30 characters of weight heavier than anything you
haven't.


This increases the weight of all string matches by 10x. That means
something like
`Command Prompt` will get a string matched weight of `100` instead of
`10`. This balances better with the weighting from frecency (where the
MRU command gets +35, then `+min(5*uses,35)`, for up to 70 points of
weight)

It also adds a bunch of tests here, to try and catch this again in the
future.

b89237ff94 CmdPal: Fix "Open location" menu item for Win32 and UWP (#42248) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes the regression of the "Open containing folder" context
menu items:
- For Win32 apps, the command now displays the correct icon, opens the
folder containing the shortcut, and selects the file.
- For UWP apps, it sets the same icon and item title as the equivalent
command for Win32 apps.
- For both, it updates the item's title to "Open file location" to align
with the Windows 11 menu naming convention.

df972447d4 Mouse Without Borders: A conflict machine Id will make connection fail (#42190) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes a critical issue in Mouse Without Borders where
conflicting machine IDs would cause connection failures. The changes
ensure that when machine IDs are generated or updated, the settings are
immediately persisted to prevent loss of the new ID and maintain proper
synchronization between the property and backing field.

Key changes:

* Immediate settings persistence when a new machine ID is generated
(unless instant saving is paused)
* Proper synchronization of the machineId field when the MachineId
property is set
* Addition of settings saving logic in both getter and setter scenarios

668820cf2c Spellchecker: resolve warnings (#42202) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR resolves lingering spell-check warnings and other minor issues,
allowing us to focus on newly emerging problems.

**Changes:**

- Excludes empty and binary files  
- Converts invalid dictionary entries into patterns  
- Since dictionary entries can only contain letters, `0x6f677548` was
previously ignored
- Removes unused words  
- Adds a pattern marker to ignore all code on a line  
  - `/* #no-spell-check-line */`  
  - `// #no-spell-check`  

This should reduce outstanding spellchecker warnings and suggestions to
zero.

ca4e8b2986 CmdPal: Cancel page load when superseded by a new page navigation (#42233) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces cancellation support for navigation. If a user
navigates to page X and then returns back or navigates elsewhere before
the page X fully loads, this update ensures that page X will not set
itself as the current page and is ignored.

It resolves the issue where returning to the home page left the previous
page's icon and placeholder visible in the search bar, causing the
search functionality to fail.

0472e7dc78 Light Switch: Fix spellcheck and add version info to LightSwitchModuleInterface (#42220) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR addresses spellchecking issues in Light Switch module:

- Resolves the forbidden pattern “`, otherwise`” by rewriting it as “`;
otherwise`”.
- Updates `resource.h`, which was previously empty and therefore treated
as a binary file by the spellchecker.
The file now includes standard version information consistent with other
projects, ensuring it is properly recognized and that the correct
version information is included in
`PowerToys.LightSwitchModuleInterface.dll`.

<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,

## 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

ccc31c13ae CmdPal: A couple more run commands bugs (#42174) 
Caching bugs are hard.

This fixes like, three different run commands bugs:
* typing `c:\windows\p`, then backspacing to `c:\windows` would populate
the cache for `c:\` with the files in `c:\` that matched `windows*`.
* Now when the dir chenges, we correctly fill the cache with everything
in that dir, then filter it.
* that also caused a similar edge case for `c:\windows\` -> `c:\windows`
(the first should show results under c:\windows\` the second should only
show things in `c:\` matching `windows`
* As of my last PR, we support commandlines with spaces. We however
forgot to handle _paths_ with spaces. We'll now correctly show path
results for something like `c:\program files\`

466a94eb40 CmdPal: Fix updating primary command and context menu and app icons (#42155) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes three issues in one go:
- Restores missing icons in app context menus.
- Fixes propagation of changes from a command item to the context menu
item for the primary action.
- Ensures the context menus stay in sync when underlying command items
change.

Details:
- Correctly propagates updates of name, icon, and subtitle from a
command item to its primary command
(`CommandItemViewModel._defaultCommandContextItemViewModel`).
- Correctly propagate updates of command's name to title
(`CommandItem.ctor`).
- Fixes icon loading for application items: `AppCommand` no longer loads
an app icon by default but instead relies on the caller to provide one
(since `AppListItem` also handles icon loading).
- Adds a generic fallback icon for apps when an icon cannot be loaded.
- Updates bindings on context menu items to `OneWay`, ensuring the UI
properly reflects item changes.
- Adds a sample that showcases dynamically updated commands (with cats
and dolphins!) to _Samples → List Page Sample Command_.

⚠️ Toolkit changes:
- `CommandItem` won't capture assigned Command's name as its `Title`.
This will allow it to propagate future changes to `Command.Name`.

Pictures? Moving ones!

e748f31593 CmdPal: Handle DWM cloak failure by keeping window hidden (#42107) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a workaround for cases where DWM cloaking of the main
window fails.

If the main window cannot be cloaked by DWM, it will remain hidden until
the user explicitly summons it. (Normally, we cloak the window and
immediately display it under DWM's cover of darkness. When cloaking
fails, the windows would be displayed permanently.)

b6944b432c CmdPal: Allow any image format as icon for protocol bookmarks (#42145) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This change attempts to load any supported image format as a protocol
bookmark icon, instead of restricting it to PNG only. The original
implementation handled only PNG (which are common), but the manifest
also supports JPG/JPEG extensions.

55f0bcc441 CmdPal: Make Bookmarks Great and Fast Again (#41961) 
## Summary of the Pull Request


This PR improves recognition and classification of bookmarks, allowing
CmdPal to recognize almost anything sensible a user can throw at
it—while being forgiving of common input issues (such as unquoted spaces
in paths, etc.).

Extended classification and exploration of edge cases also revealed
limitations in the current implementation, which reloaded all bookmarks
on every change. This caused visible UI lag and could lead to issues
like unintentionally adding the same bookmark multiple times.

### tl;dr

More details below

- Introduces `BookmarkManager` (async saves, thread-safe, immutable,
unique IDs, separate persistence).
- Adds `BookmarkResolver` (classification, Shell-like path/exe
resolution, better icons).
- `BookmarkListItem` now refreshes independently; Name is optional
(Shell fallback).
- Uses Shell API for user-friendly names and paths.  
- Adds `IIconLocator`, protocol icon support, Steam custom icon,
fallback icons and improved `FaviconLoader` (handles redirects). Every
bookmark should now have icon, so we have consistent UI without gaps.
- Refactors placeholders (`IPlaceholderParser`), adds tests, restricts
names to `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`, excludes GUIDs.
- Reorganizes structure, syncs icons/key chords with AllApps/Indexer.  
- For web and protocol bookmarks URL-encodes placeholder values
- **Performance:** avoids full reloads, improves scalability, reduces UI
lag.
- **Breaking change:** stricter placeholder rules, bookmark command ids.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Changes

- **Bookmark Manager**  
  - Introduces a `BookmarkManager` class that:  
    - Holds bookmarks in memory and saves changes asynchronously.  
    - Is safe to operate from multiple threads.  
    - Uses immutable data for transport.  
    - Separates the **persistence model** from in-memory data.  
    - Assigns explicit unique IDs to bookmarks.  
- These IDs also serve as stable top-level command identifiers, enabling
aliases and shortcuts to be bound reliably.

- **Bookmark Resolver**  
- Determines the type of a bookmark (`CommandKind`: file, web link,
command, etc.).
  - Detects its target and parameters.  
- Returns a `Classification` object containing all information needed to
present the bookmark to the user (icon, primary command, context menu
actions, etc.).
- For unquoted local paths, attempts to find the *longest viable
matching path* to a file or executable, automatically handling spaces in
paths (e.g., `C:\Program Files`).
- The resolution of executables from the command line now more closely
matches **Windows Shell** behavior.
    - Users are more likely to get the correct result.  
    - Icons can be determined more reliably.  

- **Bookmark List Items**  
- Each top-level bookmark item (`BookmarkListItem`) is now responsible
for presenting itself.
  - Items refresh their state independently on load or after changes.  
  - The **Name** field is now optional.  
- If no explicit name is provided, a user-friendly fallback name is
computed automatically using the Shell API.
- Context actions are now more in line with **All Apps** and **Indexer**
built-in extensions, matching items, icons, and shortcuts (still a work
in progress).

- **Shell API Integration**  
- Uses the Shell API to provide friendly names and paths for shell or
file system items, keeping the UI aligned with the OS.

- **Protocol and Icon Support**  
  - Adds `IIconLocator` and protocol icon support.  
- Provides a custom icon for **Steam**, since Steam registers its
protocol to an executable not on the path (and the Steam protocol is
expected to be a common case).
  - Adds `FaviconLoader` for web links.  
- Can now follow redirects and retrieve the favicon even if the server
takes the request on a “sightseeing tour.”
- Provides **Fluent Segoe fallback icons** that match the bookmark
classification when no specific icon is available.

- **Refactors and Reorganization**  
  - Extracts `IPlaceholderParser` for testability and reusability.  
- Renames `Bookmarks` → `BookmarksData` to prevent naming collisions.
  - Reorganizes the structure (reducing root-level file clutter).  
  - Synchronizes icons and key chords with AllApps/Indexer.  
- Refactors placeholder parsing logic and **adds tests** to improve
reliability.

- **Misc**
- Correctly URL-encodes placeholder values in Web URL or protocol
bookmarks.

---

### Performance Improvements

- Eliminates full reloads of all bookmarks on every change.  
- Improves scalability when working with a large number of bookmarks.  
- Independent refresh of list items reduces UI lag and improves
responsiveness.
- Asynchronous persistence prevents blocking the UI thread on saves.  

---

### Breaking Changes

- **Placeholders**  
- Placeholder names are now restricted to letters (`a–z`, `A–Z`), digits
(`0–9`), uderscore (`_`), hyphen (`-`).
- GUIDs are explicitly excluded as valid placeholders to prevent
collisions with shell IDs.
- When presented to the user, placeholders are considered
case-insensitive.
- ** Bookmark Top-Level Command
- **Bookmark Top-Level Command**  
  - IDs for bookmark commands are now based on a unique identifier.  
  - This breaks existing bindings to shortcuts and aliases.  
- Newly created bindings will be stable regardless of changes to the
bookmark (name, address, or having placeholders).

c8486087d8 CmdPal: Update visual style of details panel elements (#42102) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR updates the details panel formatting:

- Hides the empty text block used as a separator when the key is empty.
- Makes separators more subtle by adjusting the brush.  
- Reverses the typographical hierarchy of detail key/value items, making
the value dominant and the key more subtle to help users focus on the
content.
- Defines new detail text styles derived from the base WinUI
typographical styles.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
No changes to the list of binaries, no new strings for localization. The
Gliding Cursor functionality has 5 stages, these are: fast horizontal,
slow horizontal, fast vertical, slow vertical, and mouse click - adding
the keyboard hook and checking for 'Esc' allows this sequence to be
interrupted and reset to ready state.

## Validation Steps Performed
Validated Mouse Pointer Crosshairs (which Gliding Cursor is based on),
confirmed that Gliding Cursor functionality is unchanged and that the
'Esc' key cancels/resets the gliding cursor state.

3b4007d299 [PowerRename] Fix issue where counter does not update if the filename and replacement result matched (#42006) 
This PR fixes an issue which has been reported a number of times under
slightly different guises. The bug manifests as a counter "stall" or
"skip" under certain circumstances, not advancing the counter if the
result of the rename operation happens to match the original filename.

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request

This issue occurs if all the following are true:
- Enumeration features are enabled
- Regular expression matching is enabled
- The replacement string includes a counter, for example `${}` or
`${start=1}` or `${start=10,increment=10}` etc.
- There are one or more original filenames which coincide with the
result of the renaming operations

Previously, the counter was not updated when the renaming operation
result was the same as the original filename. For example, here the
first rename result matches the original filename and the counter
remains at `1` for the second file, whereas it should be `2`:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2766f448-adc3-4fe7-9c13-f4c5505ae1d9"
/>

This fix increments the counter irrespective of these coincidences.

incredible coincidence that it resolves two issues (31950 and 41950)
_which are exactly 10,000 issues (and 18 months) apart_.**

Now, back to the issue at hand, if you'll forgive the pun...

The original flawed code is here:

```cpp
    bool replacedSomething = false;
    if (m_flags & UseRegularExpressions)
    {
        replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, zeroGroupRegex, L"$1$$$0");
        replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, otherGroupsRegex, L"$1$0$4");

        res = RegexReplaceDispatch[_useBoostLib](source, m_searchTerm, replaceTerm, m_flags & MatchAllOccurrences, !(m_flags & CaseSensitive));
        replacedSomething = originalSource != res;
    }
```

Here `replacedSomething` controls whether the counter variable is
incremented later in the code. The problem lies in the assumption that
only a replacement result which differs from the original string implies
a match. This is incorrect, as a successful match and replace operation
can still produce a result which coincides with `originalSource` (the
source filename), i.e. `originalSource == res`.

The solution is to separate the regex matching from the replacement
operation, and to advance the counter when the match is successful
irrespective of whether the result is the same as the filename. This is
what the fix does:

```cpp
    bool shouldIncrementCounter = false;
    if (m_flags & UseRegularExpressions)
    {
        replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, zeroGroupRegex, L"$1$$$0");
        replaceTerm = regex_replace(replaceTerm, otherGroupsRegex, L"$1$0$4");

        res = RegexReplaceDispatch[_useBoostLib](source, m_searchTerm, replaceTerm, m_flags & MatchAllOccurrences, !(m_flags & CaseSensitive));

        // Use regex search to determine if a match exists. This is the basis for incrementing
        // the counter.
        if (_useBoostLib)
        {
            boost::wregex pattern(m_searchTerm, boost::wregex::ECMAScript | (!(m_flags & CaseSensitive) ? boost::wregex::icase : boost::wregex::normal));
            shouldIncrementCounter = boost::regex_search(sourceToUse, pattern);
        }
        else
        {
            auto regexFlags = std::wregex::ECMAScript;
            if (!(m_flags & CaseSensitive))
            {
                regexFlags |= std::wregex::icase;
            }
            std::wregex pattern(m_searchTerm, regexFlags);
            shouldIncrementCounter = std::regex_search(sourceToUse, pattern);
        }
    }
```

The `regex_search()` call on both the boost and std paths tests whether
the regex pattern can be found in the original filename (`sourceToUse`).
`shouldIncrementCounter` tracks whether the counter will be incremented
later, renamed from `replacedSomething` to reflect the change in
behaviour.

## Validation Steps Performed

The fix includes an additional unit test for both the std and boost
regex paths. Without the fix, the test fails:

/>

and with the fix, all tests pass:

296d8f87b6 Fix: Prevent backup directory creation during dry runs (#41460) 
## Summary

This PR fixes an issue where the backup folder was being created
unnecessarily when users navigated to the General tab in PowerToys
Settings, even when no actual backup had been triggered.

## Problem

When opening PowerToys Settings and navigating to the General tab, the
backup directory (default: `~/Documents/PowerToys/Backup`) was
automatically created, even though no backup operation had been
performed. This caused confusion for users setting up PowerToys on new
devices, as they would always need to manually clean up the unwanted
default folder when configuring a custom backup path.

## Root Cause

The issue occurred because:
1. Loading the General tab triggers `RefreshBackupRestoreStatus()` 
2. This calls `DryRunBackup()` to check backup status
3. `DryRunBackup()` executes `BackupSettingsInternal()` with
`dryRun=true`
4. However, the directory creation logic (`TryCreateDirectory`) was
running regardless of the dry run flag

## Solution

The fix ensures that directory creation only happens during actual
backup operations:

**Primary Change**: Wrapped backup directory creation in a dry run
check:
```csharp
// Only create the backup directory if this is not a dry run
if (!dryRun)
{
    var dirExists = TryCreateDirectory(settingsBackupAndRestoreDir);
    if (!dirExists)
    {
        Logger.LogError($"Failed to create dir {settingsBackupAndRestoreDir}");
        return (false, $"General_SettingsBackupAndRestore_BackupError", "Error", lastBackupExists, "\n" + settingsBackupAndRestoreDir);
    }
}
```

**Consistency Change**: Also moved temporary directory creation inside
dry run checks to maintain consistent behavior throughout the backup
process.

## Impact

- ✅ **General tab loading**: No longer creates unwanted backup
directories
- ✅ **Actual backup functionality**: Remains completely unchanged
- ✅ **User experience**: Clean setup without unwanted default folders
- ✅ **No breaking changes**: All existing backup/restore features work
as before

## Testing

Created comprehensive tests to validate:
- Dry runs (General tab loading) don't create directories
- Actual backup operations create directories as expected
- No regression in existing backup/restore functionality

Fixes #38620.
