21f06b8bd0 Always On Top: The opacity should be able to configure the hotkey individually (#46410) 
<!-- 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 adds support for customizing the hotkeys used to
increase and decrease the opacity of pinned windows in the Always On Top
module.
Previously, these shortcuts were hardcoded to use the same modifiers as
the main pin hotkey.

With these changes, users can now independently configure the increase
and decrease opacity shortcuts via the settings UI, and the backend has
been updated to respect and store these new settings.

Another change: If window is not Always On Topped, the opacity change
take no effect, so we should not intercept, we should pass through to
minimize the impact.

fa78cc8ea7 [OOBE] Ensure the Settings button on the SCOOBE page opens Home, not a blank page (#46203) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an issue where selecting the **Settings** button on the
What's New page for a new or upgraded installation of PowerToys would
show the Settings application but with a blank contents page instead of
the Home page.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
When the current version of PowerToys doesn't match the
`last_version_run`, the What's New (SCOOBE) page is displayed. The
Settings page is loaded at the same time in a hidden state.

If the user selects the Settings button in the bottom-left of the What's
New page, `OpenSettingsItem_Tapped()` is called, which calls:

```csharp
App.OpenSettingsWindow();
```

This unhides the Settings window, but Settings has not navigated to an
initial page, resulting in a blank display.

The solution is to instead call:

```csharp
App.OpenSettingsWindow(ensurePageIsSelected: true);
```

## Validation Steps Performed

Manual tests, following the instructions given in the original issue,
i.e. setting the `last_version_run` JSON manually and retrying to
simulate the upgrade/new install.

0d41d45a64 [Settings] Decouple Settings.UI.Library from PowerDisplay.Lib to fix … (#46325) 
<!-- 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
Fixes PowerToys Run crash (`FileNotFoundException` for
`PowerDisplay.Lib.dll`) caused by `Settings.UI.Library` having a
transitive dependency on `PowerDisplay.Lib`.

`SettingsSerializationContext` registered PowerDisplay profile types
(`PowerDisplayProfile`, `PowerDisplayProfiles`, `ProfileMonitorSetting`)
via `[JsonSerializable]` attributes, which forced the CLR to load
`PowerDisplay.Lib.dll` at startup. PowerToys Run depends on
`Settings.UI.Library` but does not ship `PowerDisplay.Lib.dll`, causing
the crash.

The PR adds a new option for disabling cursor wrapping, exposing three
options: None - wrapping is not disabled, Ctrl key - if this is pressed
then wrapping is disabled, Shift key - if this is pressed then wrapping
is disabled, this would enable a user to temporarily disable wrapping if
they wanted to get close to a monitor edge without wrapping (auto-hide
status bar for example).

The cursor wrap edge model has been updated to mirror Windows
monitor-to-monitor cursor movement, this should ensure there aren't any
non-wrappable edges.

A new test tool has been added 'CursorLog' this is a monitor aware,
dpi/scaling aware Win32 application that captures mouse movement across
monitors to a log file, the log contains one line per mouse movement
which includes: Monitor, x, y, scale, dpi.

The wrapping simulator has been updated to include the new wrapping
model and support mouse cursor log playback.

## Validation Steps Performed
The updated CursorWrap has been tested on a single monitor (laptop) and
multi-monitor desktop PC with monitors being offset to test
edge/wrapping behavior.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added the ability for users' admins' to display Windows built-in New or
not
	
I'm NOT aware of an official supported way to do this, so I'm achieving
this by adding an invalid context menu handler in place of New in the
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\New
	
Changes are immediate, after applying the change, built-in New is
shown/hidden accordingly
	
	Updates to New+ Settings UI
New setting introduced to track user' preference (saved to
newplus/settings.json)
GPO setting introduced for control New visibility via GPO (GPO wins over
user preference)
	
	Updates to New+ power_module.cpp
When runner is running new plus will also apply built-in New admin GPO
and user preference (GPO wins over user preference) to ensure correct
behavior on setting restore and GPO application.
		
	Updates to installer 
		Uninstall always reenable built-in "New" context menu 
	
	Updated DevDoc
		Added a note on how to manually restore built-in New

3e1b07f52c Color picker - Lab format: use roundoff optional #13603 (#42986) 
<!-- 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
The default CIELab format rounds the values to two decimal places, which
is a degree of precision that isn't always needed. This PR adds an
optional formatting character (i) to the three CIELab format parameters,
which rounds the value to the nearest integer.

<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

In the case where a or b get rounded to -0 (e.g. -0.0001 rounds to -0),
the negative sign gets removed. However, I noticed during testing that
the default format (rounding to two decimal places) retains the negative
sign in these situations (see third screenshot). I can a) revert to
keeping the -0 for the new rounding behavior, b) change -0 to 0 for
other rounded values, or c) leave it as-is. Also open to suggestions.

I can update the docs as well, if we're happy with the approach.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Settings: Can change the default CIELab format to display rounded
values
- Settings: Can create a custom format with rounded CIELab values
- Color Picker: Rounded values are displayed when hovering and as a
saved color

ed76886d98 Settings: Fix SCOOBE showing unknown symbol instead of bullet (#45696) 
The bullet separator between the release date and "View on GitHub" in
the SCOOBE release notes page was rendering as an unknown symbol (◆?)
instead of `•`. The character stored in the source file was `\x95`
(Windows-1252 bullet), which is invalid in UTF-8 and maps to U+0095 (a
control character).

## Changes

- `ScoobeReleaseNotesPage.xaml.cs`: Replace `\x95` (Windows-1252) with
`•` (U+2022, UTF-8: `\xE2\x80\xA2`)

```diff
- $"{release.PublishedDate.ToString(...)} \x95 [View on GitHub]({releaseUrl})"
+ $"{release.PublishedDate.ToString(...)} • [View on GitHub]({releaseUrl})"
```

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Single-byte fix: the bullet character in
`ScoobeReleaseNotesPage.xaml.cs` was a Windows-1252 `\x95` byte embedded
in a UTF-8 source file. UTF-8 treats `0x95` as U+0095 (MESSAGE WAITING,
a C1 control), which has no glyph and renders as the replacement/unknown
symbol. Replaced with the correct Unicode bullet `•` (U+2022).

## Validation Steps Performed

- Confirmed `\x95` byte present in original file via hex inspection
- Verified replacement byte sequence is `\xE2\x80\xA2` (valid UTF-8 for
U+2022)
- No other occurrences of `\x95` in the file

## Summary of the Pull Request

@jiripolasek FYI

This PR creates a new `Common.UI.Controls` library that contains shared
WinUI controls. We have been copying code manually between CmdPal and
Settings, and now with the new KBM we will run into the same issue.

This lib has shared controls projects can add to their proj so we have a
single source of truth.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Modeled the changes and addition of a global shortcut using the Color
Picker module.

Notes:
- This uses `KeyboardManagerSettings` and the associated .json settings
file. I don't think there's anything else in this module that uses this.
- The default key binding for this is `winkey + shift + k`
- I've had to update the `KeyboardManagerViewModel` to extend
`PageViewModelBase` as opposed to `Observable` to get it to work. But I
will say that there were some things in here that I didn't fully dig
into, so let me know if there's any potential things I'm missing.
- I'm not too sure how to update the Settings UI after a hotkey is
pressed (pressing the hotkey currently will not show the module being
toggled off) - can't find a good way to refresh the settings ui after
enabling/disabling the module. Any pointers here would be appreciated!



## Validation Steps Performed
- Manually validated the following items:
  - Using the default shortcut (`winkey + shift + k`)
  - Changing the shortcut
  - Ensuring the change is persistent

587385d879 [Settings] Implement singleton pattern for ShortcutConflictWindow (#42440) 
## Summary
Fixes issue where multiple ShortcutConflictWindow instances could be
opened simultaneously. The window now follows the same singleton pattern
as OobeWindow - only one instance can exist at a time, and attempting to
open another brings the existing window to the foreground.

## Changes
Implemented singleton management for `ShortcutConflictWindow` following
the established pattern used by `OobeWindow`:

### App.xaml.cs
- Added static field to store the singleton window instance
- Added `GetShortcutConflictWindow()`, `SetShortcutConflictWindow()`,
and `ClearShortcutConflictWindow()` methods for lifecycle management

### ShortcutConflictWindow.xaml.cs
- Updated `WindowEx_Closed` event handler to call
`App.ClearShortcutConflictWindow()` to properly clean up the singleton
reference when the window is closed

### Updated all three entry points that create ShortcutConflictWindow:
- **ShortcutConflictControl.xaml.cs** (Dashboard conflict warning)
- **ShortcutControl.xaml.cs** (Settings page shortcut controls)
- **OobeOverview.xaml.cs** (OOBE overview page)

Each location now checks if a window already exists using
`App.GetShortcutConflictWindow()`:
- If no window exists, creates a new one and registers it via
`App.SetShortcutConflictWindow()`
- If a window already exists, simply calls `Activate()` to bring it to
the foreground

## Testing
The fix ensures that:
- ✅ Only one ShortcutConflictWindow can be open at a time
- ✅ Clicking the shortcut conflict button when a window is already open
activates the existing window instead of creating a duplicate

914f2281c3 feat(advancedpaste): add auto-copy selection for custom action hotkeys (#44767) 
<!-- 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
Boosting productivity #2x. Customer mentioned with Custom Action
(Shortcut trigger) "We should not need to do two keyboard actions to
finish this awesome AI data transformation, instead, just single
shortcut should do copy + advanced paste."

This pull request introduces a new feature to the Advanced Paste module
that allows users to automatically copy the current selection when
triggering a custom action hotkey. The changes include backend logic for
sending the copy command, updates to configuration and settings
management, and UI additions to expose this option to users.

### Feature Addition: Auto-Copy Selection for Custom Action Hotkeys

* Added a new boolean setting, `AutoCopySelectionForCustomActionHotkey`,
to both the backend (`dllmain.cpp`, `AdvancedPasteProperties.cs`) and
the settings UI, allowing users to enable or disable automatic copying
of the current selection when a custom action hotkey is pressed.

### Backend Logic and Integration

* Implemented the `send_copy_selection()` and `try_send_copy_message()`
methods in `dllmain.cpp` to send a WM_COPY message or simulate a Ctrl+C
keystroke, ensuring the selected content is copied before executing the
custom action.
* Integrated the new setting into the hotkey handler logic so that when
a custom action hotkey is pressed and the setting is enabled, the copy
operation is triggered before running the custom action.

### Configuration and State Management

* Updated serialization/deserialization and property synchronization
logic to support the new setting, ensuring its value is correctly
loaded, saved, and reflected in the UI and runtime behavior.

### UI and Localization

* Added a new checkbox to the Advanced Paste settings page in XAML to
allow users to toggle the auto-copy feature.
* Provided localized strings for the new setting, including header and
description, in the resource file for user clarity.

### Refactoring for Hotkey Logic

* Refactored hotkey handling code to correctly calculate indices for
additional and custom actions, supporting the new auto-copy logic and
improving code clarity.

731532fdd8 Add option to disable CursorWrap when on a single monitor. (#45303) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
CursorWrap wraps on the outer edge of monitors, if a user is swapping
between a laptop and docked laptop with external monitors the user might
want to only enable wrapping when connected to external monitors, and
disable when only on the laptop.

and link it here: #xxx

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Currently CursorWrap will wrap around the horizontal/vertical edges of
monitors, if the user has more than one monitor the outer edges are used
as wrap targets, if the user only has one monitor (perhaps a laptop)
wrapping might be temporarily disabled until additional external
monitors are added (such as being plugged into a dock or using a USB-C
monitor).

The new option will disable wrapping if only a single monitor is
detected, monitor detection is dynamic.

## Validation Steps Performed
Validated on a Surface Laptop 7 Pro (Intel) with a USB-C External
Monitor.

18efa0559c Introduce new utility PowerDisplay to control your monitor settings (#42642) 
<!-- 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
Introduce a new PowerToys' module PowerDisplay to let user can control
their monitor settings without touching monitor's button.

Support feature list:
Common:
1. Profiles support
2. Integration with LightSwitch (auto switch profile when theme change)
3. TrayIcon
4. Save and restore settings when startup
5. Shortcut
6. Rotation
7. GPO support
8. Auto re-discovery monitor when plugging and unplugging monitors.
9. Identify Monitors
10. Quick profile switch

Especially for DDC/CI monitor:
1. Brightness
2. Contrast
3. Volume
4. Color temperature (preset profile)
5. Input source
6. Power State (poweroff)


Design doc:
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/yuleng/display/pr/3/doc/devdocs/modules/powerdisplay/design.md

AOT compatibility:
I designed this module for AOT from the start, so I'm pretty sure at
least 95% of it is AOT compatible. But unfortunately, PowerToys still
have a AOT blocker to block this module publish with AOT.

Currently PowerToys will check the .net file version (file version not
lib version) to avoid crash. So, all modules should reference Common.UI
or add UseWPF to avoid overwrite the .net file with different version
(which may cause crash).

Todo:
- [ ] BugBash
- [ ] Icon
- [ ] IdentifyWindow UI improvement


Demo

-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces new logic that dictates the max and min value for the
`Offset` field that the user can change when using Sunrise to Sunset
mode.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The new logic is as follows:
- The sunrise offset cannot go into the previous day and cannot overlap
the current sunset transition time
- The sunset offset cannot overlap the last sunrise time and cannot
overlap into the next day.

These values are dynamic and update when the VM updates with new times.

6d4f56cd83 Always on top: Add transparent support for on topped window (#44815) 
<!-- 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
Transparency support (best-effort)
> Not every window can be made transparent. Transparency is applied on a
best-effort basis and depends on how the target app/window is built and
rendered.

## When it may not work
* Windows with special rendering pipelines (e.g., certain
hardware-accelerated / compositor-managed surfaces).
* Some tool/popup/owned windows where the foreground window isn’t the
actual surface being drawn.

## How it works (high-level)
* Resolve the best target window (preferring the top-level/root window
over transient children).
* Apply Windows’ standard layered-window alpha mechanism (per-window
opacity) to adjust transparency.
* When unpinned, Restore the original opacity/state when possible.

If transparency doesn’t change, it means the window doesn’t support this
mechanism in its current configuration.

53c5e66cce [UI Tests][Light Switch] Fix tests: LS, Hosts, Worspaces, Mouse (#44754) 
This pull request refactors the LightSwitch module to introduce a new
shared static library, `LightSwitchLib`, which centralizes theme
management logic and enables code sharing between the service and module
interface. The changes move theme-related code from the service and
module interface into this new library, update project references, and
clean up now-redundant files and includes.

**LightSwitchLib introduction and code deduplication:**

- Added a new static library project, `LightSwitchLib`, containing all
theme management logic (`SetSystemTheme`, `SetAppsTheme`,
`GetCurrentSystemTheme`, `GetCurrentAppsTheme`, `IsNightLightEnabled`)
and related files (`ThemeHelper.cpp`, `ThemeHelper.h`, `pch.h`,
`pch.cpp`). This code was previously duplicated in both the service and
module interface.

- Updated the solution file and relevant project files to add and
reference `LightSwitchLib` from both `LightSwitchService` and
`LightSwitchModuleInterface`, ensuring both components use the shared
implementation. (`PowerToys.slnx`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-40c552fef4118125c3ccd6b156db518acec74b11150b193b31f18a2cc17a531eR668)

**Cleanup and removal of redundant code:**

- Removed old theme management code and headers from
`LightSwitchService` and `LightSwitchModuleInterface` now that logic
resides in `LightSwitchLib`. (`ThemeHelper.cpp`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-3e2766504c1cf989390508c613b2177cd5de14fb9de46df3b416f95f955338bfL1-L106)

- Removed duplicated registry path constants from `SettingsConstants.h`,
as they are now defined in the shared header. (`SettingsConstants.h`

**Module interface improvements:**

- Added `ExportedFunctions.cpp` to the module interface, exposing theme
management functions as exports and using the shared library
implementation. (`ExportedFunctions.cpp`
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-48acf3b77a8b6ac6fd1129afe1a677b34447ce39454e86ea04f1a1181a23b546R1-R22)

**Minor test and logging adjustments:**

- Fixed a UI test to use the correct toggle name for the Hosts File
Editor. (`HostsSettingTests.cs`
[src/modules/Hosts/Hosts.UITests/HostsSettingTests.csL116-R116](diffhunk://#diff-3782109c99cd66a2c1b870a83d1f9d9807422479c89e03799b311ef5f13a2098L116-R116))
- Updated a log message to refer to `LightSwitchLib` instead of
`LightSwitchService` for clarity. (`ThemeHelper.cpp`

e314485e85 Improve module enable/disable IPC and sorting reliability (#44734) 
<!-- 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

- Refactored the runner logic for handling individual module
enable/disable updates. Instead of receiving the entire settings.json
via IPC, it now processes only single-module state updates, which avoids
race conditions and fixes a bug where modules could end up being
skipped.
- Fixed an issue where the sort order option could be deselected — it is
now enforced as a mutually exclusive choice.
- Fixed a potential race condition when updating the AppList control’s
sorting.

9c58574484 Revert "[Light Switch] Switch desktop wallpapers with the Light/Dark mode" (#44588) 
This uses IVirtualDesktopManagerInternal*, which is an undocumented
Windows Shell internal API.
These interfaces are not stable and can change across Windows updates,
so using them in PowerToys carries some long-term risk

19c9b4e1fd [Light Switch] Switch desktop wallpapers with the Light/Dark mode (#42624) 
I'm not sure how to set the AccentColor and ColorizationColor that is
consistent with the Settings App, and the same goes for switching
themes. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
It was asked why this feature is needed at all, because it could be done
with snipping tool and just AoT that window as well. While this is true,
PowerToys goal always was to improve and speed up workflows. Instead of
capturing the screenshot, opening it, and then apply "Crop and Lock" or
"Always on Top" on the screenshots window, this PR aims to provide this
functionality in a single step.

Example use cases:
- _when I want to compare between two situations like previous output
result and current output result._ (#31799)
- _Allow cropping a section of a large code file (say top while working
at the bottom) as reference while working elsewhere in the file._
(#33071)
- _Can be useful for the work in the same document, like excel or word
where you are actively checking the data from the same document._
(#28633)
- _In lot's of older applications, if you need to get some information
or data from one dialog do another, but because of dialog modality it's
not possible to have both windows open at the same time._ (#33812)
- _nowadays quite a lot is happening inside the browser. Quite often, I
want to keep a small portion of the current website visible and switch
to e.g. the writing tool also running in a different tab in the same
browser window._ (#31799)


I've used win+ctrl+shift+s as the default activation shortcut, as it's
not yet used by other powertoys utilities, has similarity with the
normal win+shift+s shortcut hotkey and is consistent with the other Crop
and Lock shortcuts win+ctrl+shift+r (Reparent Mode) and win+ctrl+shift+t
(Thumbnail Mode).

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

Compatibility tested manually with a large set of applications I have
installed on my computer. However, automated tests don't really make
sense as there is not much business logic which could be tested.
