5f6df35d8d Add semantic headings to Dashboard page for accessibility (#42438) 
## Summary

Fixes #37668 by adding proper semantic heading structure to the
Dashboard (Home) page, enabling screen reader users to navigate the page
efficiently using heading shortcuts.

## Problem

The Dashboard page lacked semantic heading elements, making it difficult
for users of assistive technologies to understand the page structure and
navigate between sections. When using screen readers with heading
navigation (H key in scan mode), no headings were announced, violating
WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships).

## Solution

Added `AutomationProperties.HeadingLevel` attributes to provide proper
heading hierarchy:

1. **Dashboard Title** - Marked as Level 1 (H1) heading
- Added `AutomationProperties.HeadingLevel="1"` to the "Home" page title
   - Follows the same pattern as `SettingsPageControl.xaml`

2. **Card Titles** - Marked as Level 2 (H2) headings  
- Added `AutomationProperties.HeadingLevel="Level2"` to the Card
component
- Applies to all card sections: "Quick Access", "Shortcuts Overview",
and "Utilities"
   - Follows the same pattern as `SettingsGroup.xaml`

## Resulting Structure

```
H1: Home (Dashboard Title)
├─ H2: Quick Access
├─ H2: Shortcuts Overview  
└─ H2: Utilities
```

## Impact

- Screen reader users can now use heading navigation (H key) to jump
between sections on the Dashboard page
- Provides proper document structure that follows WCAG 2.2 Level A
guidelines
- No visual or functional changes - only accessibility metadata added
- Consistent with existing accessibility patterns used throughout the
Settings UI

## Testing

- Changes follow existing patterns in `SettingsPageControl.xaml` (Level
1) and `SettingsGroup.xaml` (Level 2)
- Only XAML accessibility attributes added - no code logic changes
- Minimal, surgical changes: 2 lines across 2 files

Relationships](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/info-and-relationships)

Add local quotation based on ~~VK_OEM_7(0xDE)~~ VK_OEM_COMMA(0xBC) key.
Not all quotes have been added, only `‟ „ ” « » ‚ , ‘ ’ › ‹ '「 」 《 》 『
』〈 〉″ ‴ ⁗`
Why not added :
- ` ⹂ ⌜ ⌝ ❛ ❜ ❝ ❞ 🙶 🙷 🙸 ＇ ｢ ｣ ` its redundant and would make too much
and not readable.
- ` ﹁ ﹂ ﹃ ﹄ `  I did not put them because there use for horizontal text

This PR is currently a draft, I still need to know if adding
language-related keyboard management is a good idea or specifying the
use of a gobal key to make it easier to manage all the keyboards in one.
Some languages ​​can use different keyboards, I think this would become
problematic if the keyboard does not match the key used by default.
However, using a universal key can also pose an issue to finding the
key. that remains to be discussed

503bcbdf2d Restore missing "Quick access" menu item in tray icon context menu (#42676) 
## Summary
Restores the "Quick access" menu item that was accidentally removed from
the PowerToys tray icon context menu.

## Issue
Fixes #[issue_number]

The "Quick access" menu item was missing from the tray icon's
right-click context menu, preventing users from accessing this feature
via the tray menu.

**Expected menu:**

![Expected
menu](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/805b1436-5a08-42e7-a34d-b9848fd9a235)

**Actual menu (before this fix):**

![Actual
menu](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7584035d-e893-4f73-acc3-84d789e31e81)

## Changes
- Added the missing `MENUITEM "Quick access\tLeft-click",
ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND` entry as the first menu item in the
`ID_TRAY_MENU` definition in `src/runner/runner.base.rc`

## Details
The menu item was accidentally removed in commit
f5797a065a. This PR restores it to its
correct position as the first item in the tray menu.

All supporting code was already in place:
- The resource ID `ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND` (40006) is defined in
`resource.base.h`
- The resource string `QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_TEXT` is defined in
`Resources.resx`
- The menu command handler in `tray_icon.cpp` opens the Quick Access
flyout window
- The localization code updates the menu text at runtime

## Testing
- ✅ Verified the menu item syntax is correct and matches existing
patterns
- ✅ Confirmed all supporting resource IDs and handler code exist
- ✅ CI build verification pending

After this fix, the tray menu will correctly display:
1. Quick access (Left-click)
2. Settings (Double-click)
3. Documentation
4. Report Bug
5. Close

52f2561937 CmdPal: Find app for WinGet package (#43943) 
<!-- 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 a bit of dark magic to resolve the correct installed
app for a given WinGet package:

- Packaged apps: matched using their package family name.
- Everything else: matched using the product code (GUID) and heuristic
registry lookup.
- The registry rarely stores the executable path directly, so the logic
compares install locations with known apps.
  - It attempts to pick the best candidate while avoiding uninstallers.
  - It’s not science — let’s call it `#666666` magic.
- MSI API support was removed because it's too slow for this scenario.
- If no reliable match is found, the command is skipped for now. The
future plan is to redirect the user to the list of installed apps and
search by display name, but that needs some supporting infrastructure
first.
- The command order for WinGet list entries was updated: **Install /
Uninstall** is now the primary action, ensuring a stable UI since this
command is always available.

b075a021df Bump our telemetry package version (#44015) 
Data collection is still hard.

This just makes it so that the build pipeline uses the updated PowerToys
telemetry NuGet package. The updated package switches us over to use a
diagnostic data provider group for compliance with some new regulations
(i.e. DMA and EU Data Act).

## Validation Steps Performed

### Run manual tests from [Test Checklist
Template](5bc7201ae2/doc/releases/tests-checklist-template.md (mouse-without-borders)):

* Install PowerToys on two PCs in the same local network:
   - [x]     Verify that PowerToys is properly installed on both PCs.
   - [x]     Configure Windows Firewall Rules
- ```netsh advfirewall firewall add rule
name="PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders - mc" dir=in action=allow
program="C:\src\mc\PowerToys\x64\Debug\PowerToys.exe" enable=yes
remoteip=any profile=any protocol=tcp```
   
 * Setup Connection:
- [x] Open MWB's settings on the first PC and click the "New Key"
button. Verify that a new security key is generated.
- [x] Copy the generated security key and paste it in the corresponding
input field in the settings of MWB on the second PC. Also enter the name
of the first PC in the required field.
- [x] Press "Connect" and verify that the machine layout now includes
two PC tiles, each displaying their respective PC names.
   
 * Verify Connection Status:
- [x] Ensure that the border of the remote PC turns green, indicating a
successful connection.
- [x] Enter an incorrect security key and verify that the border of the
remote PC turns red, indicating a failed connection.
   
 * Test Remote Mouse/Keyboard Control:
- [x] With the PCs connected, test the mouse/keyboard control from one
PC to another. Verify that the mouse/keyboard inputs are correctly
registered on the other PC.
- [ ] Test remote mouse/keyboard control across all four PCs, if
available. Verify that inputs are correctly registered on each connected
PC when the mouse is active there.
     - unable to test - only 2 machines available
   
 * Test Remote Control with Elevated Apps:
- note - the main PowerToys.exe must be running as a **non**-admin for
these tests
- [x] Open an elevated app on one of the PCs. Verify that without "Use
Service" enabled, PowerToys does not control the elevated app.
- [x] Enable "Use Service" in MWB's settings (need to run PowerToys.exe
as admin to enable "Use Service", then restart PowerToys.exe as
non-admin). Verify that PowerToys can now control the elevated app
remotely. Verify that MWB processes are running as LocalSystem, while
the MWB helper process is running non-elevated.
- ```get-process -Name "PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders*" -IncludeUserName
| format-table Id, ProcessName, UserName```
- [x] Process: ```PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders.exe``` - running as
```SYSTEM```
- [x] Process: ```PowerToys.MouseWithoutBorders.Helper.exe``` - running
as current user
- ```get-service -Name "PowerToys.*" | ft Status, Name, UserName;
get-ciminstance -Class "Win32_Service" -Filter "Name like 'PowerToys%'"
| ft ProcessId, Name```
- [x] Service: ```PowerToys.MWB.Service``` - running as ```Local
System```
- [x] Toggle "Use Service" again, verify that each time you do that, the
MWB processes are restarted.
- [x] Run PowerToys elevated on one of the machines, verify that you can
control elevated apps remotely now on that machine.

* Test Module Enable Status:
- [x] For all combinations of "Use Service"/"Run PowerToys as admin",
try enabling/disabling MWB module and verify that it's indeed being
toggled using task manager.
   
 * Test Disconnection/Reconnection:
- [x] Disconnect one of the PCs from network. Verify that the machine
layout updates to reflect the disconnection.
   - [x]     Do the same, but now by exiting PowerToys.
   - [ ]     Start PowerToys again, verify that the PCs are reconnected.
  
 * Test Various Local Network Conditions:
- [ ] Test MWB performance under various network conditions (e.g., low
bandwidth, high latency). Verify that the tool maintains a stable
connection and functions correctly.

 * Clipboard Sharing:
- [x] Copy some text on one PC and verify that the same text can be
pasted on another PC.
- [x] Use the screenshot key and Win+Shift+S to take a screenshot on one
PC and verify that the screenshot can be pasted on another PC.
- [x] Copy a file in Windows Explorer and verify that the file can be
pasted on another PC. Make sure the file size is below 100MB.
- [x] Try to copy multiple files and directories and verify that it's
not possible (only the first selected file is being copied).
 
 * Drag and Drop:
- [ ] Drag a file from Windows Explorer on one PC, cross the screen
border onto another PC, and release it there. Verify that the file is
copied to the other PC. Make sure the file size is below 100MB.
- [ ] While dragging the file, verify that a corresponding icon is
displayed under the mouse cursor.
- [ ] Without moving the mouse from one PC to the target PC, press
CTRL+ALT+F1/2/3/4 hotkey to switch to the target PC directly and verify
that file sharing/dropping is not working.

 * Lock and Unlock with "Use Service" Enabled:
   - [x]     Enable "Use Service" in MWB's settings.
- [x] Lock a remote PC using Win+L, move the mouse to it remotely, and
try to unlock it. Verify that you can unlock the remote PC.
- [x] Disable "Use Service" in MWB's settings, lock the remote PC, move
the mouse to it remotely, and try to unlock it. Verify that you can't
unlock the remote PC.

 * Test Settings:
- [ ] Change the rest of available settings on MWB page and verify that
each setting works as described.

4d3c223402 CmdPal: Fix grid views (#43991) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes the crash due to binding to a trimmed property. For this
it converts runtime bindings on GridView to use `{x:Bind}` so this issue
can't happen in the future.

- Fixes a crash related to the `Visibility` property in gallery/grid
views when trimmed during AOT builds.
- Fixes ShowTitle and ShowSubtitle properties, they are now taken into
account in a view.
- Improves UI layout, removes some margins and maches the corner radius
of the item contaienr with the item content in the gallery view.
- Refactores gallery and grid views to move logic from the view to the
view model so we can x:Bind to them.
- Replaces `{Binding}` with `{x:Bind}` to improve performance and enable
compile-time binding validation.
- Properties related to grids are splatted on to the common
`IGridPropertiesViewModel` interface. Subclassing would add extra
overhead without substential benefit.
- Adds new samples to showcase various grid view configurations.

1ba5a258e9 CmdPal: Add custom search engine option to Web Search extension (#43941) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR allows user to customize a search query in Command Palette's Web
Search built-in extension. This will also solve a problem with some
browser that doesn't handle argument in form "? <query>" as it will
allow user to specify the complete URI.

- Introduces a new text box in Web Search extension settings for
specifying a custom search engine URI
- If the text box is non-empty, the provided URI is used for queries
- If left empty, the extension defaults to previous behavior, sending
queries in the format "? query"

bc0a760aff CmdPal: Add mini dev center (#43939) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a small ribbon to the CmdPal for app developers. The
dev ribbon is dynamically added to the main window in local (non-CI)
builds. It shows the number of logged errors and warnings, the current
build configuration (Debug or Release), and whether it’s built with AOT.

The flyout shows the latest errors and warnings and lets you quickly
access the logs.

0de60445ea CmdPal: Use Shell API to determine the default browser in WebSearch (#43339) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a new method for determining the default browser
using the Windows Shell API. The new provider selects the browser
associated with the HTTPS protocol (falling back to HTTP if necessary).
The original implementation is retained as a fallback for now, and the
codebase is prepared for future extensions (e.g., manual default-browser
selection).

As a flyby, it also fixes an issue where commands continued showing the
previous browser name if the user changed their default browser while
the Command Palette was running.

## One-liner for change log

Fixed default browser selection in the Web Search built-in extension.

47d4a65223 CmdPal: Add option to return to home automatically after a delay (#43551) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces the Go home when activated setting with a new
Automatically return home option. This allows users to specify how long
the Command Palette should wait after being dismissed before
automatically returning to the home page. It also introduces migration
logic to transition from the old setting to the new one.

9160c82fc2 Update Command Palette's Learn More string to be consistent with other utilities (#43898) 
<!-- 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

In the PowerToys "What's new" window, every utility has the text "Learn
more about <utility name>" next to the "Settings" button. Examples
below:

<img width="247" height="38" alt="learnmore-fancyzones"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fecdeb4b-e01c-438d-8d11-c056e613768e"
/>

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ffb0c801-5b89-46d1-b493-b57287303e65"
/>

The only exception is the Command Palette utility which just says "Learn
more".

<img width="152" height="32" alt="learnmore-cmdpal"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/232c11cd-b621-46eb-87f1-d3fc708d6286"
/>

This is an inconsistency and this PR fixes that string.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This was because of my recent change to the timed mode. The `Subscribe`
method on the `Observable` interval accidentally wired the completion
logic to the **Error** handler instead of the **Completion** handler
because of the use of a discard `_` instead of an empty parameter list
`()`. As a result of the incorrect overload being called, Awake stayed
in the Timed state despite the timer reaching zero.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Confirmed that the timed mode times out and exits upon expiry.

## 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.
