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

84b39a9edc [Light Switch] Changed the rules surrounding the max/min value of the Offset field (#45125) 
<!-- 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 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.

<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## 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.

ea43974287 [Settings] [Advanced Paste] Upgrade advanced paste settings safely to fix settings ui crash (#44862) 
<!-- 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 makes a minor fix in the `AdvancedPasteViewModel`
constructor to ensure the correct settings repository is used for null
checking. The change improves code correctness by verifying
`advancedPasteSettingsRepository` instead of the generic
`settingsRepository`.

- Fixed null check to use `advancedPasteSettingsRepository` instead of
`settingsRepository` in the `AdvancedPasteViewModel` constructor for
more accurate validation.

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.

0314a709f5 Optimize the module list logic (#44628) 
<!-- 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 refactors how module enable/disable state changes are
handled in the settings UI, centralizing and simplifying the logic for
updating and notifying these changes. The main improvements include
unifying the callback mechanism for enable state changes, reducing code
duplication, and making the update process more robust against circular
updates.

**Refactoring and Simplification of Enable State Handling:**

* Introduced a unified `EnabledChangedCallback` and `UpdateStatus`
method in the base `ModuleListItem` class to handle enable/disable state
changes and notifications, replacing redundant logic in derived classes
like `FlyoutMenuItem` and `DashboardListItem`.

* Updated all usages to call `UpdateStatus` instead of directly setting
`IsEnabled`, ensuring callbacks are managed consistently and preventing
unnecessary notifications during programmatic updates.
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-734ba1b4b3044eb540bba08334bd141c968a113625be2d92c831f3cc3debc62fL108-R109)

**Improvements to Callback and Update Logic:**

* Changed the signature of UI event handlers to use the base
`ModuleListItem` type, improving code maintainability and reducing
casting and duplication.

* Removed obsolete or redundant flags and logic for tracking update
state, further simplifying the codebase.

**Project and Namespace Adjustments:**

* Updated the project file to include all localized resource files
recursively, improving localization support.
* Added a missing namespace import to ensure proper type resolution.
* Added a missing `using System;` directive for the `Action` delegate.

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

<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## 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.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### User-Facing Fixes

#### 1. Module list glitching when toggling enabled state
When enabling or disabling a module from the "Utilities" list, the
entire list would flicker and redraw, causing other toggles to glitch.
This made it appear as if multiple modules were being affected by a
single change.

**Root cause**
The `AllModules` ObservableCollection was being completely cleared and
re-populated on every change, forcing the UI to destroy and recreate all
list items.

**Fix**
Refactored collection updates to modify items in-place:
- Introduced `_moduleItems` master list, built once during
initialization.
- `RefreshModuleList()` now updates properties without clearing
collections
- `SortModuleList()` uses `ObservableCollection.Move()` instead of
`Clear()`/`Add()`

#### 2. Incorrect sort menu checkmark behaviour
The checkmark in the "Sort by" menu would not update correctly when
changing sort order, sometimes showing the incorrect item checked, or
even both at once.

**Root cause**
The `IsChecked` prop on the `ToggleMenuFlyoutItem` is bound to
`DashboardSortOrder`, but the binding was not updating because the
ViewModel didn't raise a property change notification when the sort
order was changed.

**Fix**
Added `OnPropertyChanged(nameof(DashboardSortOrder))` in
`SortModuleList()`.

### Code quality improvements

1. Renamed `GetShortcutModules()` to `RefreshShortcutModules()`. The
original name implied a getter, but the routine actually affects state
by rebuilding the shortcut and action lists, violating the Command-Query
Separation principle.
2. Added an `_isUpdatingFromUI` flag as a defensive measure against
circular updates when a UI toggle is changed.
3. Separation of concerns for operations on the modules list. Building,
sorting and refreshing it are separated.
4. Added comments and XML doc headers for new methods. Included brief
description of GPO locking behaviour.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Verified that toggling modules in the list no longer causes the list
to flicker or for other toggles to glitch.
- Confirmed that the sort order checkmarks update correctly and reflect
the current sort order.
- Tested GPO policy settings are still queried as before.
- Checked sort behaviour is unaffected.

2a40e1ce4d Minor ZoomIt fixes (#43495) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Regarding #43265 / #43266, I noticed some minor spelling mistakes. I
also refactored some literal strings to string constants.

I didn't discuss this with core contributors or @MarioHewardt. Just a
quick shot-from-the-hip PR ;-) I hope that isn't a problem...

_Note: this is a new Pull Request for this change. I had to close the
previous one (#43443), because I had made a commit using a wrong Github
account._

3bfa0a0cf8 Update CursorWrap settings (#43492) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Modify CursorWrap settings so that 'Activate on Startup' is enabled when
CursorWrap is enabled. Disabling CursorWrap doesn't change the 'Activate
on Startup' toggle, this will need to be manually disabled, CursorWrap
is active when enabled, the hotkey can be used to temporarily disable
the CursorWrap functionality.

5884375e9d Fix advanced paste settings migration issue (#43459) 
<!-- 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 robust migration system for legacy
Advanced Paste AI provider settings and credentials, refactoring both
the migration logic and credential handling to be more maintainable and
reliable. It also standardizes the default model names for AI providers
and updates related UI placeholders to reflect these changes. The
migration logic is now centralized in a new helper class, and legacy
credential migration is handled more cleanly in both the settings and
view model layers.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
PR adds a new mouse utils module, this is 'Cursor Wrap' - Cursor Wrap
works with 1-9 monitors based on the logical monitor layout of the PC -
for a single monitor device the cursor is wrapped for the top/bottom and
left/right edges of the display - for a multi-monitor setup the cursor
is wrapped on the top/bottom left/right of the displays in the logical
display layout.

## Validation Steps Performed
Validation has been performed on a Surface Laptop 7 Pro (Intel) with a
single display and with an HDMI USB-C second display configured to be a
second monitor in top/left/right/bottom configuration - there are also
tests that run as part of the build to validate logical monitor layout
and cursor positioning.

@yeelam-gordon When running the runner, I do see the settings value is
being updated. But when running the runner again the setting doesn't
seem to be saved? Is that because of a bug in my implementation, or am I
testing it wrong :)?

7b9d5af8c1 fixed light switch shortcut not working issue (#42340) 
<!-- 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 refactors how the `ToggleThemeHotkey` property is
handled in the LightSwitch settings and view model. The changes simplify
property management by directly referencing the property within
`LightSwitchProperties` and ensure that the hotkey setting is
consistently updated and serialized.

**Settings property management:**

* In `LightSwitchSettings.Clone()`, the `LightSwitchProperties` object
now directly references the existing property instances instead of
creating new ones, and also includes the `ToggleThemeHotkey` property.

**View model property handling:**

* In `LightSwitchViewModel.ToggleThemeActivationShortcut`, the getter
and setter now directly access and update
`ModuleSettings.Properties.ToggleThemeHotkey.Value`, removing the need
for a backing field and ensuring changes are properly serialized and
notified.

## 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

08a3ae2dee Enable "Space" only to activate Peek (#41867) 
<!-- 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

Closes: #26143

This pull request introduces a new "single Space key activation" mode
for the Peek PowerToy, allowing users to open Peek with just the Space
key when File Explorer or the Desktop is focused. The implementation
includes settings UI changes, backend logic to enforce and manage this
mode, eligibility checks for activation, and telemetry. It also enhances
the user experience by disabling the activation shortcut control when
space mode is enabled and providing appropriate tooltips and
localization.

**Key changes:**

### Feature: Single Space Key Activation Mode

* Added a new setting (`EnableSpaceToActivate`) to allow users to enable
Peek activation using only the Space key, restricted to File Explorer or
Desktop focus. When enabled, the activation shortcut is forced to bare
Space and the previous shortcut is stashed (not restored on toggle-off
for simplicity). (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`,
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI.Library/PeekProperties.cs`,
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/ViewModels/PeekViewModel.cs`,
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/SettingsXAML/Views/PeekPage.xaml`,

/>

### Activation Logic & Eligibility

* Implemented a foreground window hook and debounce logic to determine
if Peek can be activated by Space (only when File Explorer, Desktop, or
Peek itself is focused). This minimizes CPU overhead when user
repeatedly presses Space but not for Peek .
(`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`)
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-ac3987a14b7c287a047f57613d97a78265f0dcef56084fb5361021953328b039R50-R60)

* Managed hook installation and cleanup based on Peek's enabled state
and the space mode toggle. (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`)

### Settings & Telemetry

* Added the new toggle to the settings serialization and XAML UI, with
localization and descriptions. (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`,
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/SettingsXAML/Views/PeekPage.xaml`,
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`)

* Added telemetry event for enabling/disabling space mode.
(`src/modules/peek/peek/trace.cpp`, `src/modules/peek/peek/trace.h`)
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-db76a3e6fa1cc19889492b72d0c063835bdc8f67909cb9d91c9e7e47e248a87aR51-R60)

### Code Quality

* Refactored includes and initialization logic for clarity and
maintainability. (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`)
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-ac3987a14b7c287a047f57613d97a78265f0dcef56084fb5361021953328b039L2-R14)

These changes collectively provide a safer, more accessible, and
user-friendly way to activate Peek with a single key, while ensuring
users are clearly informed and accidental activations are minimized.

## AI summary
This pull request introduces infrastructure and code to support search
functionality for PowerToys settings, including a new search index
specification, a dedicated search library, and updates to the solution
configuration. The main changes are the addition of a spec describing
how settings should be indexed and navigated, the creation of a new
`Common.Search` project with a fuzz search implementation, and updates
to the solution file to include these new components.

**Settings Search Feature Implementation**

* Documentation:
* Added a detailed specification (`settings-search.md`) describing the
structure of PowerToys settings pages, how to index settings, navigation
logic, runtime search, result grouping, build-time indexing strategy,
and corner cases.

* New Search Library:
* Added the new `Common.Search` project to the solution, including its
project file and implementation of a fuzz search service
(`FuzzSearchService<T>`), match options, match results, and search
precision scoring.

* Solution Configuration:
* Updated `PowerToys.sln` to include `Common.Search` and
`Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder` projects, and configured their build
settings for various platforms and mapped project dependencies.

as `Navigatable`, `NavigatablePage`, `settingscard`, `Tru`, `tweakable`)
to the spell-check dictionary to support the new search and indexing
features.

d90575b8da feat(MouseWithoutBorders): Prevent Easy Mouse from moving to another machine when an application is running in fullscreen mode. (#39854) 
<!-- 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 adds a new feature to Easy Mouse, it is now possible to toggle a
setting that will prevent Easy Mouse to switch away from the host
machine when the foreground application is running in full screen mode,
requiring the user to first alt tab out of the application before
performing the switch, this also comes with a way to allow the switch on
specific apps.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

This PR changes the way Easy Mouse checks wherever it should move to
another machine, after checking that the corresponding setting is
enabled and that we are trying to move away from the host machine, it
will run a test using native WinAPI methods to get the foreground window
and check if it is running in full screen.

If it is, it will then check the name of the executable against a list
of ignored app configured by the user, if the executable is found in
that list, the switch will be allowed despite the application running in
full screen.

These new settings were moved along with the original Easy Mouse toggle
to a new "Easy Mouse" setting group to avoid cluttering the Keyboard
shortcuts group.

This feature will only work when used from the controller machine, as I
didn't find a way to easily check for running application on a remote
machine that didn't involved touching the sockets, I felt like such a
change would be out of scope for this issue.

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

I had a hard time writing tests and didn't achieve anything meaningful
enough to be included, I may require some guidance on how to properly
write tests for this project.

I tested my changes by running my modified version of
MouseWithoutBorders on my machines, which I did for a few days now, It
allowed me to catch a few bugs, but it has been running smoothly
otherwise.

My changes didn't seemed to have caused any automated tests to fail.

It may require some additional testing for setups including more than
two machines.

df08d98a81 Implement "Gliding cursor" accessibility feature (#41221) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Added '[Gliding
Cursor](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/37097)'
functionality to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs, this enables a single
hotkey/Microsoft Adaptive Hub + button to control cursor movement and
clicking. This is implemented as an extension to the existing Mouse
Pointer Crosshairs module.

Testing has been manual, ensuring that the existing Mouse Pointer
Crosshairs functionality is unchanged, and that the new Gliding Cursor
functionality works alongside Mouse Pointer Crosshairs.


![FlowPointer2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ede40fe5-d749-45d1-bd8d-627dda2927a3)

<img width="857" height="438" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b9e7ee72-dfeb-4d20-93a5-a34e8b10d703"
/>


To test this functionality:
- Open Mouse Crosshair settings and make sure the feature is enabled.
- Press the shortcut to start the gliding cursor — a vertical line
appears.
- Press the shortcut again to slow the vertical line.
- Press once more to fix the vertical line; a horizontal line begins
moving.
- Press again to slow the horizontal line.
- When the lines meet at your target, press the shortcut to perform the
click.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The PR includes these changes:
* Updated Mouse Pointer Crosshairs XAML to include a new hotkey to start
the gliding cursor experience
* Added two sliders for fast/slow cursor movement
* mapped the new hotkey/XAML sliders through to the existing
MousePointerHotkeys project, dllmain.cpp
* Added a 10ms tick for Gliding cursor for crosshairs/cursor movement
* Added state for gliding functionality - horiz fast, horiz slow, vert
fast, vert slow, click
* added gates around the existing mouse movement hook to prevent mouse
movement when gliding


## Validation Steps Performed
Manual testing has been completed on several PCs to confirm the
following:
* Existing Mouse Pointer Crosshairs functionality is unchanged
* Gliding cursor settings are persisted/used by the gliding cursor code
* Gliding cursor restores Mouse Pointer Crosshairs state after the final
click has completed.
