e6d346a59b [PowerDisplay] Default-off and confirm dialog for InputSource/ColorTemp/PowerState (#47303)
<!-- 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
Three per-monitor PowerDisplay features have failure modes recoverable
only via physical buttons:

Input Source — switching to an input with no signal goes black;
PowerToys can no longer drive a panel that isn't displaying its own
signal
Color Temperature — some monitors apply changes that cannot be reset via
DDC/CI; OSD reset required
Power State — VCP 0xD6 standby may not respond to subsequent DDC/CI wake
commands
This PR:

Defaults all three features off for newly-discovered monitors. Supports*
derivation from VCP capabilities is unchanged — unsupported checkboxes
are still greyed out.
Pops a confirmation dialog when a user toggles any of them on in
Settings, mirroring the existing Color Temperature warning. Cancel
reverts the checkbox; Enable keeps it.
Refactors the existing Color Temperature click handler into a shared
HandleDangerousFeatureClickAsync(sender, resourceKeyPrefix, setter)
helper. All three feature handlers now reuse it.
Renames PowerDisplay_ColorTemperature_EnableButton →
PowerDisplay_Dialog_Enable so the three dialogs share one button-text
resource (paralleling the existing shared PowerDisplay_Dialog_Cancel)

7861bc408c Replay both key down and up for Win in GrabAndMove (#47326)
<!-- 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 code for keyup on the `Win` key would replay the previously absorbed
keydown event and just leave this keyup to propagate normally, thus
leading to a race condition between `CallNextHookEx` and `SendInput`.
This resulted in almost guaranteed out-of-order event (`Win` up,
followed by `Win` down) in the case of `Win+G` (the Xbox Game bar
shortcut).

Fixed by also absorbing the keyup for `Win`, but calling `SendInput` for
both keydown and keyup.

b835cde4d2 CmdPal: Fix a bug where dock label settings wouldn't save (#47317)
This setting is totally vestigial, from the 0.9 dev cycle. 

Unfortunately, the JSON parser would see that it wasn't in the
settings.json, then it would write `null` to it. But `ShowLabels` was
just a thin alias for `ShowTitles`, so we'd end up parsing totally sane
JSON settings into having `null` for `ShowTitle`.

This fixes that. You can hide your titles again folks.

otherwise immovable content:

- The Windows Start menu.
- Tooltips from around the Notification Area (System Tray).
- The Alt-Tab and Win-Tab windows.

7211f7ed67 cmdpal: fix our settings load crash (#47296)
Fixes a category of crashes in CmdPal, related to our settings parsing. 

It would seem that I don't understand JSON parsing all that well in C#. 

Basically, we've got a bunch of places where we have
 
```c#
class Foo
{
  public Bar MySetting {get;init;} = new()
}
```

but when we JSON deserialize the settings, if there wasn't a
`"MySetting"` key, then the deserializer deserializes to `null`, not
`new()`. but since `Foo.MySetting` isn't a `Bar?`, then the compiler
can't check the fact that json _gets special rules to write a null to
it????_

Closes #47249

tested with the settings.json from that thread.

I ensured that pressing something like Shift, Ctrl, or even a character
key - besides Tab, of course, properly resets the internal state of Alt.
The win key was never affected by this behavior.

f5a294bb66 [PowerDisplay] Add more log for PowerDisplay (#47270)
Users have reported missing monitors but the existing logs lack the
information needed to diagnose. Add discovery-phase logs that record the
raw MCCS capabilities string from the monitor, the parsed feature
support flags (brightness/contrast/color temperature/volume), the
specific reason a monitor is ignored, and DDC/CI API failures.

fecd2e72a7 Handle DockSize enum changes (#47212)
### ⚠️ REVIEWERS TO DECIDE. MERGE THIS PR OR GO FOR: #47214⚠️

### Root cause

PR #46699 (compact mode) replaced the original `DockSize` enum
(`Small`/`Medium`/`Large`) with a new one (Default/Compact). Existing
users have `DockSize`: `Small` (or `Medium`/`Large`) in their
`settings.json`, which the source-generated EnumConverter can't parse →
the entire settings file fails to load.

### Fix

Added a custom `JsonConverter<DockSize>` in
_src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels/Settings/DockSettings.cs_
and applied it via `[JsonConverter]` on the enum.

The converter:

- Accepts current values (`Default`, `Compact`) — case-insensitive.
- Maps any unknown legacy string (e.g. `Small`/`Medium`/`Large`) to
`DockSize.Default`, preserving the user's existing visual experience.
- Tolerates numeric values too, falling back to `Default` if out of
range.
- Writes as a string so output stays consistent with the source-gen
`UseStringEnumConverter` setting.

fde1599f7d [Grab And Move] Add touchpad compatibility InfoBar to settings page (#47213)
## Summary

Adds an informational InfoBar at the top of the Grab And Move settings
page noting that the utility may not work with some touchpads and is
intended to be used with a physical mouse device.

<img width="1180" height="460" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4999d2f5-c785-41ab-b5fc-9dd8b7e72c7d"
/>


## Changes

- `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/SettingsXAML/Views/GrabAndMovePage.xaml`
— new `InfoBar` (Severity=Informational, IsClosable=False) placed at the
top of the page's `StackPanel`.
- `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw` — added two
resource strings:
  - `GrabAndMove_TouchpadInfoBar.Title` — "Touchpad compatibility"
  - `GrabAndMove_TouchpadInfoBar.Message` — explanatory text.

Follows the existing InfoBar pattern (e.g., `MouseUtilsPage.xaml`).

## Validation Steps Performed
Setting any ZoomIt shortcut to the same sequence as other shortcuts
won't produce the MessageBox anymore.

The easiest is to use the default shortcuts and to bind the last one,
**Panorama activation** to `Ctrl+7` (instead of the default `Ctrl+8`).
`Ctrl+7` clashes with the ZoomIt **DemoType activation** shortcut. To
make the MessageBox pop-out before the fix, takes pressing a few
`Ctrl+1`s (the default **Zoom activation**).

e5b0667397 Fix: Install CommandPalette.Extensions.winmd to WinUI3Apps for COM marshalling (#47210)
## Summary

Follow-up fix for #47177. Installs `CommandPalette.Extensions.winmd` to
the `WinUI3Apps\` directory (ExternalLocation) instead of the root
install folder.

## Problem

PR #47177 moved the sparse package's `ExternalLocation` from root to
`WinUI3Apps\`, but the `CommandPalette.Extensions.winmd` was still
installed to root via `DirectoryRef=INSTALLFOLDER`. The WinRT runtime
needs this winmd in the ExternalLocation directory for COM proxy/stub
creation during cross-process CmdPal extension activation. Without it,
`CoCreateInstance` returns `E_NOINTERFACE` and the PowerToys extension
fails to load in Command Palette.

## Fix

Split the `BaseApplications.wxs` `DirectoryRef` into two blocks:
- **winmd component** -> `WinUI3AppsInstallFolder` (for WinRT COM
marshalling)
- **auto-generated components** -> `INSTALLFOLDER` (unchanged, avoids
ICE30 conflict with `WinUI3ApplicationsFiles`)

## Validation

- [x] Local WiX compilation: no ICE30 errors
- [x] ADO CI build 145429943 (v0.99.1): passed
- [x] Manual verification on 25H2: CmdPal loads 55 commands after winmd
placed in WinUI3Apps

8536d7b1cd Fix MSIX sparse package DACL contamination breaking File Explorer preview handlers (#47177)
## Summary

Moves the MSIX sparse package's `ExternalLocation` from the PowerToys
root install folder to the `WinUI3Apps\` subfolder, isolating DACL
contamination from preview handler DLLs.

## Problem

On Windows 23H2/24H2/25H2, MSIX sparse package registration adds
AppContainer SIDs (`S-1-15-2-*` / `S-1-15-3-*`) to the DACL of the
`ExternalLocation` folder. Since `ExternalLocation` pointed to the
PowerToys root install folder, this broke File Explorer preview handlers
— `prevhost.exe` (running at LOW integrity) could no longer load preview
handler DLLs (`.txt`, `.md`, `.pdf`, `.svg`, etc.).

## Fix

- **`CustomAction.cpp`**: Changed `ExternalLocation` from
`installFolderPath` → `installFolderPath + L"WinUI3Apps\\"`
- **`AppxManifest.xml`**: Removed unused PowerOCR `<Application>` entry;
stripped `WinUI3Apps\` prefix from `Executable` paths (now relative to
new ExternalLocation)
- **`CmdPal.Ext.PowerToys.csproj`**: Moved `OutputPath` to `WinUI3Apps\`
so the AOT-compiled extension EXE resolves correctly under the new
ExternalLocation
- **WiX installer files**: Updated source/install paths for KBM assets,
CmdPal satellite assemblies, and `CommandPalette.Extensions.winmd` that
moved with the CmdPal output
- **ESRP signing**: Updated CmdPal dll/exe paths to include
`WinUI3Apps\` prefix

## Validation

| Test | 25H2 | 23H2 |
|------|------|------|
| DACL isolation (no S-1-15-* on root) |  |  |
| Preview handlers (.txt, .md, .pdf, .svg) |  |  |
| Peek |  |  |
| Context menus (PowerRename, FileLocksmith, ImageResizer, New+) |  | 
|
| Upgrade path (old → new) |  |  |

9de2e5298a [GrabAndMove] excluded apps example text should use 'outlook' instead of 'outlook.exe' (#47194)
PR changes example text to outlook instead of outlook.exe, which can
match both old version and new version.

The placeholder text suggested 'outlook.exe', but new Outlook runs as
olk.exe so the .exe-based entry fails both path and title matching.
Using 'outlook' (without .exe) works correctly via window title
matching.

Fixes #47103

ca1ffebc26 [Light Switch] Fix PowerDisplay profile integration (#47190)
<!-- 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 two bugs in the Light Switch ↔ PowerDisplay integration:

1. **Settings UI was hidden.** The "Apply monitor settings" expander
   (dark/light profile pickers) and the "PowerDisplay disabled"
   warning InfoBar were temporarily commented out in PR #46160. Users
   had no way to configure which profile to bind to each theme.

2. **Hotkey only applied one profile.** On every hotkey press
   ModuleInterface flips the Windows theme, but the service only
   notified PowerDisplay when `isManualOverride` toggled from `false`
   to `true`. Every even-numbered press was silently dropped, so the
   monitor profile stayed stuck on whichever direction the user
   pressed first.

949e42c5c7 CmdPal: Fix crash when typing w/ indexer fallback on (#47186)
This isn't the same crash as #47148. It's another one.
Undoubtably regressed in #46907

The function signature was all wrong. Hence the
`System.ExecutionEngineException`

Tested manually.

a65266fcad cmdpal: fix the dock window border being visible on startup (#47187)
This is worse after the compact mode change fixed our frame margins. We
hide our window frame with DWM. However, we only did that when we we
`Activated`. Turns out, when the window is first created? we're not
`Activated`. So until you focus another window, we'd look... objectively
bad.

656ea91580 CmdPal: Enable dock pinning and per-profile icons for Windows Terminal (#46372)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Enables Windows Terminal profiles to be **pinned to the Command Palette
dock** and shows **per-profile icons** instead of the generic Terminal
app logo.

### Dock Pinning

**Root cause:** `LaunchProfileCommand.Id` was never set (defaulted to
`string.Empty`). The context menu factory checks
`!string.IsNullOrEmpty(itemId)` before showing "Pin to Dock", so the
option was silently hidden. Additionally, `GetCommandItem()` was not
overridden, so pinned commands could not be resolved on load.

**Fix:**
- Set stable `Id` on `LaunchProfileCommand` (format:
`terminal/{appUserModelId}/{profileName}`)
- Rename constructor parameter `id` → `appUserModelId` to avoid
ambiguity with the generated command `Id`
- Override `GetCommandItem(string id)` in
`WindowsTerminalCommandsProvider` to look up profile items by ID

<img
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/81c7acfc-09b5-40ab-be1d-8f268b24219b">

### Per-Profile Icons

**Root cause:** All profiles showed the same Terminal application logo.
The per-profile `icon` field from Terminal settings.json was parsed into
`TerminalProfile.Icon` but never used.

**Fix:**
- Add `InstallPath` to `TerminalPackage` (from `Package.InstalledPath`)
- Add `ResolveProfileIcon()` helper to `TerminalHelper` that resolves
`ms-appx:///` URIs to the Terminal package install directory (with scale
variant probing), passes through file paths and glyphs, and falls back
to the Terminal logo
- Cache the resolved icon in a local variable to avoid duplicate
filesystem IO per profile
- Set resolved per-profile icon on both `ListItem.Icon` and
`LaunchProfileCommand`

<img
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a9a476e2-7932-4457-bf04-bc346f2ad971">

### Robustness

- Use `Guid.TryParse` instead of `Guid.Parse` when reading profile GUIDs
from settings.json, so a malformed or empty GUID value does not throw
and take down the entire profile list

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

**Files changed:**
- `Commands/LaunchProfileCommand.cs` — Assigns stable `Id`, renames `id`
→ `appUserModelId` throughout, adds `static MakeId()` helper
- `Helpers/TerminalHelper.cs` — Adds `ResolveProfileIcon()`,
`TryResolveGuidIcon()`, and `ResolveAppxPath()` helpers; hardens GUID
parsing with `Guid.TryParse`
- `Helpers/TerminalQuery.cs` — Passes `p.InstalledPath` to the
`TerminalPackage` constructor
- `Pages/ProfilesListPage.cs` — Resolves and caches icon path per
profile; sets `ListItem.Icon`
- `TerminalPackage.cs` — Adds `InstallPath` property
- `WindowsTerminalCommandsProvider.cs` — Overrides
`GetCommandItem(string id)` for dock-pinned command rehydration; removes
unused `using` directive

## Validation Steps Performed

- [x] Build clean with exit code 0
- [x] Dock pinning tested and working — "Pin to Dock" option appears and
survives restart
- [x] Per-profile icons verified — each profile displays its own icon in
both the list and the dock

d9bfc42229 CmdPal: Fix fallback command disable toggle using interface type check (#47127)
## Summary

One-line fix for
[#46928](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/46928) — unable
to disable built-in and third-party extension fallback commands in
Command Palette.

## Problem

In `TopLevelViewModel.cs`, the constructor checked:
```csharp
if (IsFallback && commandItem is FallbackCommandItem fallback)
```

This uses the **concrete toolkit class** `FallbackCommandItem`. However,
extensions loaded out-of-process via WinRT/COM only expose **interface
proxies** — they never match the concrete class. As a result,
`_fallbackId` was never set, and the settings toggle to disable a
fallback command had no effect.

## Fix

Changed the type check to use the `IFallbackCommandItem2` WinRT
interface (which defines the `Id` property):

```csharp
if (IsFallback && commandItem is IFallbackCommandItem2 fallback)
```

The `IFallbackCommandItem2` interface is already defined in the
Extensions IDL and implemented by `FallbackCommandItem` in the toolkit.
This correctly matches both in-process and out-of-process extension
objects.

## Validation

- [x] Build clean (`Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels` — exit code 0)
- [x] No ABI or schema changes
- [x] Single file changed, single line modified

Fixes #46928

bfc5fea11e Fix CmdPal crash when typing in search box (#47148)
Add reentrancy guard for FilteredItems ObservableCollection mutations.

WinUI3's native XAML renderer can pump the message loop while processing
a CollectionChanged notification from InPlaceUpdateList. This allows a
second DoOnUiThread task to begin mutating FilteredItems while the first
is still mid-update, causing heap corruption and an access violation
(0xc0000005) in ntdll.dll.

The fix introduces RunFilteredItemsUpdate() which uses a boolean flag to
detect same-thread reentrancy (C# lock is reentrant so _listLock cannot
prevent this). When reentrancy is detected, only the latest pending
update is stored and executed after the in-flight mutation completes,
ensuring the UI converges to the newest state without overlapping
mutations.

Fixes: 100% reproducible crash in CmdPal when typing any character in
the search box (build ID 145015494).

98c5b45a30 [Settings] Make GrabAndMove strings modifier-agnostic (#47178)
## Summary of the Pull Request

[PR #47052](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/47052)
introduced a **Win** option alongside **Alt** for the GrabAndMove
activation modifier (`GrabAndMove_ModifierKey` dropdown, `Alt` / `Win`).
However several user-facing strings in Settings still hardcode `Alt`,
which now misrepresents the feature when a user has selected `Win` as
the modifier.

This PR updates the wording of those strings to be modifier-agnostic.

### Strings changed (en-us)

| Key | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `GrabAndMove.ModuleDescription` | Move and resize windows with
**Alt+Drag**. Left-click to move, right-click to resize. | Move and
resize windows by holding **a modifier key** and dragging. Left-click to
move, right-click to resize. |
| `Oobe_GrabAndMove_HowToUse.Text` | Hold **Alt** and left-click drag...
Hold **Alt** and right-click drag... | Hold the **activation modifier
key** and left-click drag... Hold the **activation modifier key** and
right-click drag... |
| `GrabAndMove_UseAltResize.Header` | Enable **Alt + Right-click** to
resize | Enable **modifier + right-click** to resize |
| `GrabAndMove_UseAltResize.Description` | Hold **Alt** and right-click
to resize... | Hold the **activation modifier key** and right-click to
resize... |
| `GrabAndMove_ExcludeApps.Description` | Excludes an application from
being moved or resized **with Alt+Drag** - add one application name per
line | Excludes an application from being moved or resized **by Grab And
Move** - add one application name per line |

`GrabAndMove_ShouldAbsorbAlt` strings are intentionally left unchanged
ΓÇö that toggle is genuinely Alt-specific (it suppresses the window-menu
activation triggered by Alt).

## PR Checklist

- [x] **Closes:** follow-up to #47052
- [x] **Communication:** no additional comms needed
- [x] **Tests:** N/A (en-us resource strings only)
- [x] **Manual Tests:** Launched Settings UI, verified the GrabAndMove
page renders the new strings correctly (module description, `Enable
modifier + right-click` toggle header/description, excluded-apps
description). Verified OOBE `How to use` text renders with the updated
phrasing.
- [x] **Localization:** Only `en-us/Resources.resw` updated; other
locales will pick up the new English strings via the standard
localization pipeline.
- [x] **No dev docs required**

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

- Scope is deliberately kept to wording only ΓÇö no logic, IPC, or XAML
bindings touched. Resource keys are preserved, so nothing else needs to
change.
- CC @GordonLamMSFT as the GrabAndMove / #47052 author.

2c95a61bb3 fix(cmdpal): refresh dock settings on pin/unpin (#47155) (#47169)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Fixes the CmdPal Dock not refreshing when a command is pinned or
unpinned. The dock now immediately reflects pin/unpin changes without
requiring a CmdPal restart.

**Root cause:** `DockViewModel._settings` was cached at construction and
only refreshed via the `SettingsChanged` event. However, pin/unpin
operations in `CommandProviderWrapper.PinDockBand()` / `UnpinDockBand()`
intentionally save with `hotReload: false` (to avoid double-updates), so
`SettingsChanged` never fires. When `DockBands_CollectionChanged` called
`SetupBands()`, it iterated over the stale `_settings` which didn't
include the newly pinned band.

**Fix:** Re-read `DockSettings` from the settings service at the top of
`DockBands_CollectionChanged`, ensuring `SetupBands()` always sees the
latest persisted state.

## PR Checklist

- [x] Closes: #47155
- [x] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected
- [ ] **Tests:** Added/updated and all pass
- [x] **Localization:** All end-user-facing strings can be localized —
N/A (no UI string changes)
- [ ] **Dev docs:** Added/updated — N/A (no public API or behavior doc
changes)

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Single-line change in
`src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels/Dock/DockViewModel.cs`:

```csharp
_settings = _settingsService.Settings.DockSettings;
```

Added before the existing `SetupBands()` call inside
`DockBands_CollectionChanged`. The edit-mode guard (`_isEditing`) is
already checked earlier in the method, so drag/drop operations are
unaffected.

This fix covers both pin and unpin flows since both use the same
`hotReload: false` → `CommandsChanged` → `DockBands_CollectionChanged`
code path.

## Validation Steps Performed

- Built `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels.csproj` — exit code 0, no
warnings related to change
- Verified unpin flow uses the same code path and benefits from the fix
- Manual verification: pin a command via CmdPal → dock updates
immediately without restart

dbc390ab0d fix: default 8 modules to disabled to match EnabledModules.cs (#47144)
<!-- 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 a mismatch where 8 modules inherited the default
`is_enabled_by_default() = true` from `PowertoyModuleIface` while
`EnabledModules.cs` declared them `false`. On a clean install the Runner
would enable these modules on first launch, then Settings UI would flip
them back off once it persisted `settings.json` — a one-time visible
flicker and a DSC compliance gap.

Adds an explicit `is_enabled_by_default() const override { return false;
}` in the following module interfaces so both sides of the default
agree:

- `src/modules/launcher/Microsoft.Launcher/dllmain.cpp` (PowerToys Run)
- `src/modules/CropAndLock/CropAndLockModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
- `src/modules/AdvancedPaste/AdvancedPasteModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
- `src/modules/Hosts/HostsModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
- `src/modules/registrypreview/RegistryPreviewExt/dllmain.cpp`
-
`src/modules/EnvironmentVariables/EnvironmentVariablesModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
- `src/modules/Workspaces/WorkspacesModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
- `src/modules/powerdisplay/PowerDisplayModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`

b0ccc2394a Add update-available badge to system tray icon (#47030)
When an update is available (readyToDownload or readyToInstall), the
tray icon switches to a badged variant with an orange dot. Works for
both default mode (color icon.ico) and theme-adaptive mode (light/dark
variants).

Closes: #19222
Closes: #25497

## Changes

### Tray icon update badge
- Add 3 badged icon variants
- Extend get_icon() to select badged variant based on update_available
state
- Add set_tray_icon_update_available() for runtime icon switching
- Hook into UpdateUtils.cpp state transitions via
dispatch_run_on_main_ui_thread
- Check UpdateState at startup to show badge immediately if update
pending
- Add 'Update available' context menu item at top of tray menu when
active

### Fix: update icons not deployed (bug fix)
- Add APPICON_UPDATE icon resource to runner.base.rc (iconUpdate.ico was
missing)
- Add CopyFileToFolders entries for iconUpdate.ico,
PowerToysDarkUpdate.ico, and PowerToysWhiteUpdate.ico in runner.vcxproj
- Add all update icon files to installer Core.wxs so they ship in
releases

### UX improvements
- 'Update available' tray menu item now navigates to General page
(Overview) instead of opening Settings to Dashboard
- Update InfoBar severity changed from Success/Informational to Warning
across GeneralPage, LaunchPage, and CheckUpdateControl
- Dashboard update badge gradient and icon refreshed (orange theme,
exclamation glyph)
- AccentButtonStyle applied to 'Install Now' button
- Fixed casing: 'Update Available' to 'Update available'
- Added UpdateAvailableInfoBar.Title resource string
- Add orange update dot to the General navview item

## How to test

Since local dev builds use version `0.0.1` which blocks update checks,
you need to temporarily fake an older version:

1. In `src/Version.props`, change `<Version>0.0.1</Version>` to
`<Version>0.87.0</Version>`
2. Optionally, in `src/runner/UpdateUtils.cpp`, change both interval
constants to `1` (minute) for faster testing:
   ```cpp
   constexpr int64_t UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL_MINUTES = 1;
   constexpr int64_t UPDATE_CHECK_AFTER_FAILED_INTERVAL_MINUTES = 1;
   ```
3. Build and run the runner
4. Within ~1 minute (with the interval change) or after clicking 'Check
for updates' in Settings > General, the runner will query GitHub and
find a newer version

### Verify
- [ ] Tray icon changes to the update variant (badged with orange dot)
- [ ] Right-clicking the tray icon shows 'Update available' at the top
of the context menu
- [ ] Clicking 'Update available' opens Settings directly to the General
page
- [ ] Settings General page shows the update InfoBar with Warning
severity
- [ ] Dashboard shows the update badge with orange gradient and
exclamation icon
- [ ] Quick Access flyout shows update InfoBar with Warning severity

**Remember to revert Version.props and UpdateUtils.cpp before
committing!**

c8ffcb73c3 [ImageResizer] Fix JPEG quality setting ignored after WinUI3 migration (#47134)
<!-- 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
Restores honoring of the user-configured JPEG quality — via the Settings
UI slider, the CLI `--quality` flag, or the persisted
`imageresizer_jpegQualityLevel` — when resizing JPEG files. Since the
WinUI3 migration (#45288) any Q value from 1 to 100 produced
byte-identical output at WIC's internal default (~Q90) because the
transcode encoder silently ignored the setting. Only
`src/modules/imageresizer/ui/Models/ResizeOperation.cs` is changed.

de6ba922fd Fixing OOBE and assets for Power Display and Grab And Move (#47033)
## Summary

Adds the out-of-box experience (OOBE) for the new **Grab And Move**
module and refreshes related assets across the repo.

## Changes

### Grab And Move OOBE
- New `OobeGrabAndMove.xaml` / `.xaml.cs` page following the standard
PowerToys OOBE pattern (hero image, How to use, Tips & tricks, Settings
button, Learn more link)
- Wired into `OobeWindow.xaml(.cs)` as a new `NavigationViewItem` so it
appears in the OOBE wizard
- Added localized resource strings (Title, Description, How to use, Tips
and tricks) in `Resources.resw`
- New OOBE animation: `Assets/Settings/Modules/OOBE/GrabAndMove.gif`

### Settings UI polish
- Moved the Grab And Move nav item under *Windowing & Layouts* into its
proper alphabetical position (after FancyZones, before Workspaces)
- Added a "NEW" `InfoBadge` to both the Grab And Move item and its
parent *Windowing & Layouts* group so users can discover the new utility

### Asset refresh
- High-res `GrabAndMove.ico` (replaces the placeholder)
- Updated Settings module icons
(`Assets/Settings/Icons/GrabAndMove.png`,
`Assets/Settings/Modules/GrabAndMove.png`)
- New overview/marketing PNGs under `doc/images/overview/` (large,
small, and original)

### README
- Added **Grab And Move** and **PowerDisplay** to the utilities table in
`README.md`, reflowed alphabetically into a clean 10x3 grid
- New `doc/images/icons/GrabAndMove.png` and
`doc/images/icons/PowerDisplay.png` for the table

## Validation
- Settings UI builds cleanly
- Grab And Move appears in the OOBE wizard navigation and renders
correctly
- "NEW" badges visible on first launch
- README table renders with all 30 utilities, no empty trailing cells

71cb9bc54e [Quick Accent] Fix issue where default "All available" setting is not parsed correctly (#47117)
## Summary of the Pull Request
When first enabled in the Settings application, Quick Accent defaults to
**All available** character sets, but the persisted "ALL" option in the
settings.json file is not understood by the application itself. This
leads to the fallback SPECIAL character set being selected - unbeknownst
to the user - which only contains a small subset of the available
mappings.

This PR also adds two new characters to the Hungarian language, as
requested under #47085.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The cause of the issue is:

1. The default `SelectedLang` value for a new Quick Accent settings file
is "ALL", set in `PowerAccentProperties.cs`:
 

5520ae4cfa/src/settings-ui/Settings.UI.Library/PowerAccentProperties.cs (L46)

2. The Settings application understands the "ALL" setting, _but Quick
Accent itself does not_.
3. There is an existing fallback in Quick Accent for when the language
cannot be parsed, which is to select the "SPECIAL" language instead.
This is a grab-bag of mappings for non-language-specific entries such as
cross-cultural punctuation, IPA, currency etc.

The effect is that new users will see that All available character sets
have been selected in the Settings application by default, but that only
a small number of the available mappings will be shown when they trigger
Quick Accent. De-selecting and re-selecting All available will fix the
issue, but a new user is unlikely to do this. This leads to issues being
logged such as #47085, where missing characters are reported, but they
actually are present in the underlying mappings for the language(s).

There is also another issue with `SelectedLang` parsing, in that entries
are compared against the in-built language codes in a case-sensitive
non-trimmed manner. This means that entries such as "FR", "fr" and " FR"
are all distinct. Although this isn't an issue at the moment, it means
that adding new languages or editing the settings file manually is prone
to triggering fall-throughs and the selection of the SPECIAL language
without the user knowing.

The fix here is to:

1. Pre-parse the SelectedLang entries to trim them and remove any empty
values.
2. Do an explicit (case-insensitive) check for "ALL"; if present, all
languages are immediately selected.
3. If "ALL" is not present in the list, do a case-insensitive check for
each entry against the in-built language codes.
4. Reject any non-matches and log a warning. Do not fall through to
auto-select the SPECIAL character set. This respects the principle of
least surprise, and means that the user is never given character options
that they did not explicitly select.

Changes to the Quick Accent application are in `ReadSettings()` in
SettingsService.cs. I have also made the Settings application parsing
more robust, so both it and Quick Accent should be able to correctly
parse entries like "SP, INVALID, EST".

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

Follow the manual steps below:

1. Close the Quick Accent process if it is currently running
6. Edit the settings.json file for Quick Accent, and set the
"selected_lang" value to "all" (this setting is no longer
case-sensitive).
7. (Re)start Quick Accent by starting `PowerToys.PowerAccent.exe`.
8. Trigger Quick Accent for the E key and observe the selection dialog
that opens. It should contain E mappings for every language:

<img width="3371" height="155" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/84d709ea-fdcc-4430-8d22-f9732969a20a"
/>

9. Trigger Quick Accent for the Y key and observe the selection dialog
that opens. It should contain Y mappings for every language, including
the Y-With-Diaresis character originally reported as missing:

<img width="1264" height="149" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ecea3734-e58c-4da6-896b-2e58a9fd05e8"
/>

10. Back in the settings file, change "selected_lang" value to "HR" for
Croatian. Save the file.
11. Trigger Quick Accent for the C key and observe that only the
following mappings are shown:

<img width="1055" height="146" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69764145-0836-4dfb-8655-3a8a3be7f561"
/>

12. Again, in settings, change the "selected_lang" value to "". Save the
file.
13. Confirm that triggering Quick Accent does not result in an error and
simply does not show the dialog.
14. In settings again, change the "selected_lang" value to "FR, INVALID,
DE" and save.
15. Trigger Quick Accent and confirm that entries for French and German
are available in the dialog.
16. Check the logs and confirm that a warning is present about "INVALID"
not being a valid language and being skipped.

Separately, for the Settings application:

1. Close the PowerToys Runner and ensure Quick Accent and Settings are
not present in the Processes list.
2. Edit the settings.json file for Quick Accent, changing the
"selected_lang" value to "FR, INVALID, DE" and save.
3. Run PowerToys and open the Settings application.
4. On the Quick Accent settings page, ensure that French and German
languages are selected. (Previously, parsing would fail after FR.)

8ad571dcde Fix Common.Interop.UnitTests.TestSend infinite hang on CI (#47123)
## Summary

Fixes an infinite hang in Common.Interop.UnitTests.TestSend that caused
the x64 CI job to time out at 80 minutes on retried runs (originally
observed on #47106, but the race is latent in any run that shares a CI
agent with a previous run).

## Root cause

The test used two machine-global named pipes (\\.\pipe\serverside and
\\.\pipe\clientside) as fixed constants, and waited for the pipe
callback with an **unbounded** eset.WaitOne().

If a prior test run on the same CI agent left a pipe handle alive (e.g.
after a job cancellation or a flaky cleanup), the next run's
TwoWayPipeMessageIPCManaged handshake would silently never complete, and
`WaitOne()` would block until the pipeline's job-level timeout (~80
minutes) killed the agent.

## Fix

Two small, orthogonal changes in `InteropTests.cs`:

1. **Unique pipe names per run** — suffix the pipe paths with
`Environment.ProcessId` + a fresh `Guid`, so runs on the same agent can
never collide.
2. **Bounded wait** — `reset.WaitOne(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30))` wrapped
in `Assert.IsTrue` with a diagnostic message identifying the pipes. A
broken handshake now fails the test in 30 s with a clear error, instead
of hanging the CI job.

The inner `Assert.AreEqual(testString, msg)` — the actual correctness
check — is unchanged. On the happy path the callback fires in
milliseconds and the test behaves identically to before.

## Verification

Built and ran locally with VS2026 MSBuild (x64 Release): `TestSend`
passes in ~139 ms.

## Follow-up (not in this PR)

`TwoWayPipeMessageIPC.cpp` still relies on a `Thread.Sleep(100)` race
workaround (comment in the test) for server-ready timing. A proper
handshake there would let us drop the sleep; out of scope here.

bf00c1b94f [Common][PowerDisplay][QuickAccess] Shared flyout positioning helper (#47097)
## Summary

Introduces a shared FlyoutWindowHelper in Common.UI.Controls and
migrates both **PowerDisplay** and **QuickAccess** to it, eliminating
two pre-existing flyout positioning bugs and removing duplicated math.

## Bugs fixed

### 1. PowerDisplay flyout overlapped the taskbar at 100% scaling
The previous PowerDisplay-only positioning math anchored to the screen
bounds rather than `DisplayArea.WorkArea` on certain monitor
configurations, so the bottom edge of the flyout could land on top of
the taskbar.

### 2. QuickAccess flyout rendered too large / partially off-screen
after switching DPI between 150% and 100%
The previous code passed `WindowEx.Width`/`Height` into `MoveAndResize`
on every summon. Those properties are **not** the XAML literals — they
are computed live as `AppWindow.Size / GetDpiForWindow() * 96`. After a
system-scaling switch, the runtime size has drifted, that wrong "DIP"
value got fed into `MoveAndResize`, and the destination DPI multiplier
scaled it again → wrong size, and the wrong size shifted the
bottom-right anchor off-screen.

QuickAccess now caches the XAML design size once at construction (when
the values are still trustworthy) and uses the cache as the source of
truth.

## How the helper works

- Uses **absolute screen coordinates** against `DisplayArea.WorkArea`,
so it handles non-primary and negatively-positioned monitors correctly.
- Performs a **1×1 `MoveAndResize` "teleport"** onto the target display
before the final visible-size call. The 1×1 jump may cross a DPI
boundary, but it's invisible; the second call sets the real size while
the window is already on the destination monitor, so no DPI boundary is
crossed for the rendered size and `WM_DPICHANGED` never fires on a
visible window.
- Exposes overloads for bottom-right anchoring (both flyouts) and
centered placement (PowerDisplay's `IdentifyWindow`).

This teleport-then-size approach matches the technique the original
Settings.UI flyout used for years before it was removed.

## Cleanup

- Deletes the PowerDisplay-only `DpiSuppressor` — its
WM_DPICHANGED-suppression code path is now dead because the helper
sidesteps the message entirely.
- The `DpiSuppressor` class also doubled as a generic WndProc subclass
to route `WM_HOTKEY` into `HotkeyService`. That piece is preserved as
`WindowMessageHook` in `Common.UI.Controls/Window/` since PowerDisplay
still needs in-process hotkey handling.

## Validation

- `Common.UI.Controls`, `PowerDisplay`, and `QuickAccess` build clean
(x64/Debug).
- Manual repro:
- PowerDisplay flyout no longer overlaps taskbar at 100% scaling, on
multiple invocations.
- QuickAccess renders at the correct size and position when switching
system scaling between 150% and 100%.
- PowerDisplay hotkey toggle still works after the `DpiSuppressor` →
`WindowMessageHook` rename.

7a89220a91 [QuickAccent] Add en-dash to VK_MINUS for SPECIAL language (#47106)
## Summary of the Pull Request
Add en-dash to the existing dash characters available under the minus
key for the Special Characters set.

This PR re-creates #45965 by @daverayment because that PR's pipeline
appears to have been corrupted. All credit for the change belongs to
@daverayment — the commit on this branch preserves their original
authorship.

## PR Checklist

- [x] Closes: #44030
- [x] Closes: #36805

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

This PR adds the en-dash '–' character to the VK_MINUS key under the
Special Characters character set, positioned before the em-dash
character.

Although the character is available under VK_COMMA, it should be present
under VK_MINUS, along with the other dash characters.

Previously, en-dash was available for VK_MINUS under the Hebrew
language, so users who selected **All available** character sets (or who
specifically selected Hebrew as a workaround) had access to en-dash via
the minus key. However, this was seen as a duplication of the VK_COMMA
functionality and the character was removed for the Hebrew character set
in #43504. Although this is technically correct, this has understandably
caused confusion for users who relied on the prior behaviour.

The comment on the VK_COMMA for the Special Characters declaration
previously read:

`csharp
// – is in VK_MINUS for other languages, but not VK_COMMA, so we add it
here.
`

That ""for other languages"" is telling. The Hebrew en-dash entry was
removed, and the en-dash mapping for the minus key is not present for
any other language, orphaning the functionality.

## Validation Steps Performed

Original author @daverayment built and ran the updated Quick Accent code
and confirmed that the character was available when only the Special
character set was selected, and that it was absent when that set was
deselected. Confirmed that the character was available under both comma
and minus keys.

f4d23c85a6 [CmdPal Dock] Compact mode (#46699)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces the following changes:
- Shaving off a few pixels of the default height in `Top` or `Bottom`
mode.
- A new `Compact` mode that automatically hides the `Subtitle` and is
28px in height.
- Compact mode is only available for Top/Bottom dock positions.
Left/Right always use the Default size.
- The Dock Size settings card is hidden in the settings UI when Left or
Right is selected.
- At runtime, Left/Right positions force `DockSize.Default` regardless
of the persisted setting, ensuring default item styles and appbar sizing
are always used. The user's Compact preference is preserved so switching
back to Top/Bottom restores it.

Stable vs. Compact mode:

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Compact mode restricted to Top/Bottom
Compact mode is only supported when the dock is positioned at the Top or
Bottom of the screen. When Left or Right is selected:
- The **Dock Size** settings card is hidden in the dock settings UI.
- The runtime forces \\DockSize.Default\\ so the default band template,
default item styles, and default appbar dimensions are always used.
- The persisted \\DockSize\\ value is **not** cleared — switching back
to Top/Bottom restores the user's previous Compact choice.

### Files changed
- \\DockSettingsPage.xaml\\ / \\.xaml.cs\\ — Conditional visibility for
the Dock Size settings card
- \\DockControl.xaml.cs\\ — Effective size override in
\\UpdateSettings()\\
- \\DockWindow.xaml.cs\\ — \\EffectiveDockSize()\\ helper used for
appbar sizing and change detection
