## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds new options to the All Apps built-in extension:
- Also include non-app shortcuts from the Start menu
- Enabled by default
- Also include non-app shortcuts from the desktop
- Disabled by default
The default states reflect that Start menu shortcuts are largely curated
by installers, and the Start menu itself typically does not surface
non-app items. Desktop shortcuts, on the other hand, are more likely to
be created by the user.

This PR removes OneWay binding mode from ItemsRepeater with bands in
Dock settings page. The page doesn't provide any means for property
change notification, so the binding can never be refreshed anyway and it
cases XAML compiler to emit a warning `WMC1506: OneWay bindings require
at least one of their steps to support raising notifications when their
value change`

Add support for a "dock" window in CmdPal. The dock is a toolbar powered
by the `APPBAR` APIs. This gives you a persistent region to display
commands for quick shortcuts or glanceable widgets.
The dock can be pinned to any side of the screen.
The dock can be independently styled with any of the theming controls
cmdpal already has
The dock has three "regions" to pin to - the "start", the "center", and
the "end".
Elements on the dock are grouped as "bands", which contains a set of
"items". Each "band" is one atomic unit. For example, the Media Player
extension produces 4 items, but one _band_.
The dock has only one size (for now)
The dock will only appear on your primary display (for now)
This PR includes support for pinning arbitrary top-level commands to the
dock - however, we're planning on replacing that with a more universal
ability to pin any command to the dock or top level. (see #45191). This
is at least usable for now.
This is definitely still _even more preview_ than usual PowerToys
features, but it's more than usable. I'd love to get it out there and
start collecting feedback on where to improve next. I'll probably add a
follow-up issue for tracking the remaining bugs & nits.

When neither option is selected, then the resulting .mp4 container won't
have an audio track added to it.
This is due to the recent audio input addition. As a result, all .mp4
recordings now have an audio track, even if empty. Restoring the prior
functionality, where just the h264 video is present on no audio.

This change allows our contact menu factory to actually create and add
additional context menu commands for pinning commands to the top level.
Now for any command provider built with the latest SDK that return
subcommands with an ID, we will add additional context menu commands
that allows you to pin that command to the top level.

This PR notably does not remove pinning from the apps extension. I
thought that made sense to do as a follow-up PR for the sake of
reviewability.
---
description from #45676 which was merged into this
Removes the code that the apps provider was using to support pinning
apps to the top level list of commands. Now the all apps provider just
uses the global support for pinning commands to the top level.
This does have the side effect of removing the separation of pinned apps
from unpinned apps on the All Apps page. However, we all pretty much
agree that wasn't a particularly widely used feature, and it's safe to
remove.
With this, we can finally call this issue done 🎉

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds a new default option to the All Apps extension settings.
- Adds an explicit "Default (n)" option to the choices list as the
default. This option is not tied to a concrete number of items, allowing
the value to change in the future.
- Fixes backward compatibility for users who installed the extension
when `"0"` was accidentally used as the default search result limit
(d07f40eec3). Existing `"0"` values are now treated as "use default
(10)" instead of producing zero results.
- Renames the intentional "0 results" setting value from `"0"` to
`"none"` so it can be clearly distinguished from the previous accidental
default.
- Moves result-limit parsing from `AllAppsCommandProvider` into
`AllAppsSettings`, exposing a parsed `int?` property instead of a raw
string.
- Adds `IgnoreUnknownValue` to `ChoiceSetSetting` so unrecognized stored
values (such as the old `"0"`) are silently ignored on load, preserving
the initialized default.
- Without this the drop-down value in the adaptive card shows as empty.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR unlocks lightning-fast mode for Command Palette:
- Hides visual and motion distractions when updating the result list:
- Ensures the first interactable result item is selected as early as
possible after the result list is updated, reducing flashing and
blinking caused by the selection highlight moving around.
- Removes the list item selection indicator animation (unfortunately by
removing the pill altogether for now) and prevents it from temporarily
appearing on other items as the selection moves.
- Adds a new "Results" section header above the home page results when
no other section is present.
- This ensures the first item on the home page has consistent visuals
and styling, preventing offsets and excessive visual changes when
elements are replaced in place.
- Improves update performance and container reuse:
- Fixes the `removed` output parameter in `ListHelper.UpdateInPlace` to
only include items that were actually removed (items that were merely
moved to a different position should not be reported as removed).
- Adds unit tests to prevent regression.
- Updates `ListHelper.UpdateInPlace` for `ObservableCollection` to use
`Move` instead of `Remove`/`Add`, and avoids `Clear` to prevent
`ListView` resets (which force recreation of all item containers and are
expensive).
- Adds a simple cache for list page item view models to reduce
unnecessary recreation during forward incremental search.
- `ListViewModel` and `FetchItems` have no notion of item lifetime or
incremental search phase, so the cache intentionally remains simple
rather than clever.
- Updates ListPage templates to make them a little lighter:
- Tag template uses OneTime, instead of OneWay - since Tag is immutable
- Replaces ItemsControl with ItemsRepeater for Tag list on list items
- Increases the debounce for showing the details pane and adds a
debounce for hiding it. This improves performance when browsing the list
and prevents the details pane animation from bouncing left and right

No functional changes.
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR is a light cleanup on Window Walker built-in extension:
- Removes unused types
- Removes redundant code
- Fixes inconsistent naming conventions
- De-LINQ-ify
- Fixes XML doc
- Updates language constructs to the latest (use of
System.Threading.Lock, Collection expressions)
- Updates types and members visibility and makes static classes static
⚠️ Trickiest part are 44ac1c1 and 26c946c that removes redundant null
checks.
- Upgrade to WASDK 1.8.5 that includes a fix for the `TitleBar` control.
- Remove the workaround from windows that use this control, as we can
set the `TitleBar` directly now
This pull request introduces an improvement to how screenshot filenames
are generated in `ZoomIt`. The main change is to ensure that each
screenshot is saved with a unique, timestamped filename, which helps
prevent accidental overwrites and keeps files sorted chronologically.
**Enhancement to screenshot filename generation:**
* Added a new implementation for `GetUniqueScreenshotFilename()` in
`Zoomit.cpp` to generate screenshot filenames using the current date and
time, following the format `"ZoomIt YYYY-MM-DD HHMMSS.png"`. This
reduces the risk of overwriting existing files and improves file
organization.<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
## Unique filename issue
The PR fixes the user's complaint about the screenshots always being
called "zoomit" by adding a `GetUniqueScreenshotFilename()` method which
creates a unique filename based on the current date and time, e.g.
`ZoomIt 2025-11-01 004723.png`. This is consistent with other tools like
the Windows Snipping Tool and provides files which sort correctly when
ordered by name, which is not the case for files with simple numeric
suffixes.

## Validation Steps Performed
Tested on a local build.
## Summary
Closes#39929
Adds a new "Keep previous query" toggle to Command Palette settings that
preserves the last search text when the palette is reopened after
running a command.
## Changes
- **`SettingsModel.cs`** — Added `KeepPreviousQuery` bool property
(defaults to `false`)
- **`SettingsViewModel.cs`** — Added property with auto-save on change
- **`GeneralPage.xaml`** — Added toggle switch in the Activation
section, below "Highlight search on activate"
- **`Resources.resw`** — Added localized header ("Keep previous query")
and description ("Preserves the last search text when Command Palette is
reopened")
- **`SearchBar.xaml.cs`** — `Receive(GoHomeMessage)` now checks the
setting and skips `ClearSearch()` when enabled
## Behavior
- **Off (default):** No change from current behavior — search text is
cleared on dismiss.
- **On:** When a command is run and the palette dismisses, the search
text is preserved. On reopen, the previous query is still in the search
box. Combined with the existing "Highlight search on activate" setting,
the text will be pre-selected so the user can immediately retype or
press Enter to re-run.
## Validation
- Setting off: search clears on dismiss (existing behavior unchanged)
- Setting on: search text persists across dismiss/reopen
- Setting serializes/deserializes correctly via existing JSON settings
infrastructure
- No impact on page navigation, escape key behavior, or auto-go-home
timer

## Summary
Fixes#45100
Uri.CheckHostName does not accept host:port strings (e.g.
localhost:3389), returning UriHostNameType.Unknown. This causes the RDP
extension to show an invalid hostname error when connecting to a local
forwarded port.
## Changes
- OpenRemoteDesktopCommand.cs - Strip port suffix before
Uri.CheckHostName validation. The full host:port is still passed to
mstsc /v:.
- FallbackRemoteDesktopItem.cs - Same port-aware validation so the
fallback correctly recognizes host:port queries and displays them in the
title.
- FallbackRemoteDesktopItemTests.cs - Added tests for localhost:3389 and
192.168.1.100:3390 inputs.
## Validation
Port detection uses LastIndexOf(':') + ushort.TryParse to safely
identify a trailing port number without affecting IPv6 addresses or
plain hostnames.

## Validation Steps Performed
## Summary
MainListPage hardcoded _appResultLimit = 10 instead of reading from
AllAppsCommandProvider.TopLevelResultLimit, which correctly parses the
user's SearchResultLimit setting. This meant changing the results limit
in settings had no effect on the apps extension fallback results.
## Changes
- `MainListPage.cs` — Replaced the hardcoded _appResultLimit = 10 field
with a computed property AppResultLimit that delegates to
AllAppsCommandProvider.TopLevelResultLimit.
- `MainListPageResultFactoryTests.cs` — Added three regression tests:
- `Merge_AppLimitOfOne_ReturnsOnlyTopApp` — verifies limit of 1 returns
only the top app
- `Merge_AppLimitOfZero_ReturnsNoApps` — verifies limit of 0 returns no
apps
- `Merge_AppLimitOfOne_WithOtherResults_AppsAreLimited` — verifies apps
are limited even when mixed with other result types
## Validation
- [X] Existing tests pass
- [X] New regression tests cover edge cases for the appResultLimit
parameter
## Linked Issues

## Summary of the Pull Request
This fixes a race condition in the WindowWalker component in both
**Command Palette** and **Run**. The lack of a lock around a cache

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
More details about the root cause can be found in the original issue:
#45600.
In summary, a `Task` is created and started as part of the
`CreateWindowProcessInstance()` code. The creation is inside a lock, but
there is no lock around access to the `_handlesToProcessCache` cache
within the Task itself, which will run on a different thread.

## Validation Steps Performed
- Ensured unit tests still pass (NB: I cannot currently run CmdPal UI
tests for some reason)
- Manually ran the applications, testing the Window Walker component in
both
This doesn't actually have a UX to expose this yet - we need to stack a
couple of PRs up to get to that.
But this adds plumbing such that we can now stash away a command ID, and
retrieve it later as a top-level command. Kinda like pinning for apps,
but for _anything_.
It works off of a new command provider interface `ICommandProvider4`,
which lets us look up Command**Item**s by ID. If we see a command ID
stored in that command provider's settings, we will try to look it up,
and then load it from the command provider.
e.g.
```json
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system": {
"IsEnabled": true,
"FallbackCommands": {
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.fallback": {
"IsEnabled": true,
"IncludeInGlobalResults": true
}
},
"PinnedCommandIds": [
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.lock",
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.restart_shell"
]
},
```
will get us

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ed19003-8361-4318-8dc9-055414456a51"
/>
Then it's just a matter of plumbing the command provider ID through the
layers, so that the command item knows who it is from. We'll need that
later for actually wiring this to the command's context menu.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR improves main window positioning:
- Fixes cases where an invalid window size or position was saved.
- `UpdateWindowPositionInMemory` failed to capture correct values when
the window was minimized or maximized (for example, a minimized window
reports coordinates like `(-32000, -32000)`).
- Improves repositioning logic to use relative anchors (corners and
center). When switching displays, the window should reappear in the
expected position. This also reduces cases that trigger the failsafe
recentering.
- Fixes the dragging rectangle size after switching DPIs - the rectangle
was not adapting, so it when switching from 100 % to 200 % it covered
only left half of the window and had teeny-tiny height.
- Suppresses system DPI handling during summon to prevent double
scaling.
- Makes `WindowPosition` class immutable.
- Adds light-weight failsafe preventing overwriting position with
invalid data.
- Hotfixes a min/max state conflict with the WinUIEx window manager.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Assertion failure on Debug builds
**Root Cause**
This occurred because of a combination of a type-coercion issue and the
use of `isprint()` in `WM_KEYDOWN`, which operates on virtual key codes,
not characters.
This is the code with the fault:
```cpp
if( (g_TypeMode != TypeModeOff) && g_HaveTyped && static_cast<char>(wParam) != VK_UP && static_cast<char>(wParam) != VK_DOWN &&
(isprint( static_cast<char>(wParam)) ||
wParam == VK_RETURN || wParam == VK_DELETE || wParam == VK_BACK )) {
```
There are a few issues here:
1. There is no need for the `VK_UP` / `VK_DOWN` check. The block only
executes if `VK_RETURN`, `VK_DELETE` or `VK_BACK` are pressed, which
cannot be `VK_UP` or `VK_DOWN` by definition. This should be removed.
2. Casting the `wParam` to `char` means casting an unsigned int value to
a signed char. This works for alphanumeric characters, as the VK_-codes
correspond to their char counterparts. But it fails for values with
their high bit set, e.g. a hyphen:
- The virtual key code for the hyphen key is `VK_OEM_MINUS`, or `0xBD`
- `0xBD` (10111101) becomes `-67` when cast to a char
- In Debug builds, a call to `isprint()` includes a range check to
ensure the value is in the range 1 to 255. A negative value trips this
assertion.
3. The casts are not needed.
**Fix**
Remove both the `isprint()` call (the WM_CHAR handler has an
`iswprint()` check) and remove the check against `VK_UP` and `VK_DOWN`.
### Ampersand issue
This is a simple operator precedence issue with this statement:
```cpp
if ((g_TypeMode != TypeModeOff) && iswprint(static_cast<TCHAR>(wParam)) ||
(static_cast<TCHAR>(wParam) == L'&'))
```
The intention is to continue if one of the Type Modes is engaged (either
left-to-right or right-to-left) and either the typed character is
printable or (a special-case) the ampersand (presumably for legacy
issues when `DT_NOPREFIX` was not present on all draw text calls).
Unfortunately, the parentheses are placed incorrectly, resulting in the
expression actually being:
`if (Type Mode is active AND a printable character was pressed) OR
(Ampersand was pressed)`
(Meaning the code will always execute if ampersand is pressed regardless
of the mode.)
**Fix**
Correcting the placement of the parentheses fixes the issue.
Note: I think `DT_NOPREFIX` exists on all `DrawText()` calls which
render characters, so we could potentially remove the ampersand check
entirely in the future, assuming that was the original issue which
required the special casing.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Ensure ampersand does not result in the character appearing and/or
glitches occurring where the cursor is when Type Mode or Draw Mode are
not active.
- Ensure ampersands may still be typed as normal in Type Mode.
- Confirm that non-alphanumeric characters can be typed without issue in
Type Mode on both Debug and Release builds.
- Test draw operations in combination with text notes.
- Test backspace, return and delete keys in Type Mode.
- Test that Type Mode engages repeatedly and can be exited.
## Summary of the Pull Request

- Adds localization support for the "More" command button on the command
bar
- Localizes the secondary command key modifier (Ctrl) and its
combinations

@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.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an error that occurred when reading tags for the selected
package in WinGet extensions when AOTed. The issue was caused by using
LINQ over a WinRT proxy; this has been replaced with manual iteration
over the collection to avoid the failure.
The exception is now caught and logged as a warning by #44757.

## 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

This PR upgrades the **Microsoft.Windows.CppWinRT** NuGet package from
version **2.0.240111.5** to **2.0.250303.1** across the entire PowerToys
solution.
## Summary of the Pull Request
There are many build warnings now with like "cl : command line warning
D9047: option 'await' has been deprecated and will be re moved in a
future release." after we update to VS2026.
Introduce WinRT coroutine support by replacing `std::future` with
`IAsyncOperation` for asynchronous methods. Adjust output directories
and remove the `/await` option from project files to streamline the
build process. Update methods to utilize `std::expected` and `co_await`,
enhancing the async handling of version checks and downloads.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Refactor async methods to improve performance and compatibility with
WinRT. The changes include modifying the return types of several
functions in the `updating` namespace, specifically
`uninstall_previous_msix_version_async`,
`get_github_version_info_async`, and `download_new_version_async`.
## Validation Steps Performed
Manual testing was conducted to ensure that the new async methods
function correctly and that the application behaves as expected during
version checks and downloads. Automated tests were updated to cover the
new coroutine implementations.

maintainers: we talked about this at length on Teams
> Seems like adding `IExtendedAttributesProvider` onto `CommandItem` is
what broke this. I don't know why. I'm not gonna pretend to understand
the cswinrt voodoo that's causing it to pick `IEAP` as the leaf
interface instead of `ICommandContextItem`.

Pretty direct port of the code, to prove it works.
There's definitely some improvement to be made here, esp WRT to the

And we can probably add the details to these list items.
But most importantly, _it works_.
