## Summary of the Pull Request
**Root Cause:**
The current pipeline builds the entire solution and runs all UI tests
every time, which takes more than 2 hours to complete.
**Fix**
Make the PowerToys UI test pipeline provides flexible options for
building and testing:
### Pipeline Options
- **useLatestOfficialBuild**: When checked, downloads the latest
official PowerToys build and installs it for testing. This skips the
full solution build and only builds UI test projects.
- **useCurrentBranchBuild**: When checked along with
`useLatestOfficialBuild`, downloads the official build from the current
branch instead of main.
- **uiTestModules**: Specify which UI test modules to build and run.
Examples:
- `UITests-FancyZones` - Only FancyZones UI tests
- `MouseUtils.UITests` - Only MouseUtils UI tests
- `['UITests-FancyZones', 'MouseUtils.UITests']` - Multiple specific
modules
- Leave empty to build and run all UI test modules
### Build Modes
1. **Official Build + Selective Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild =
true`)
- Downloads and installs official PowerToys build
- Builds only specified UI test projects
- Runs specified UI tests against installed PowerToys
- Controlled by `uiTestModules` parameter
2. **Full Build + Testing** (`useLatestOfficialBuild = false`)
- Builds entire PowerToys solution
- Builds UI test projects (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
- Runs UI tests (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
- Uses freshly built PowerToys for testing
