For the kbm toggle, when it's off, kbm will not map anything, if it's
on, kbm will take effect

For the mouse without borders, add these two functionality as command

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added the ability for users' admins' to display Windows built-in New or
not
	
I'm NOT aware of an official supported way to do this, so I'm achieving
this by adding an invalid context menu handler in place of New in the
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\New
	
Changes are immediate, after applying the change, built-in New is
shown/hidden accordingly
	
	Updates to New+ Settings UI
New setting introduced to track user' preference (saved to
newplus/settings.json)
GPO setting introduced for control New visibility via GPO (GPO wins over
user preference)
	
	Updates to New+ power_module.cpp
When runner is running new plus will also apply built-in New admin GPO
and user preference (GPO wins over user preference) to ensure correct
behavior on setting restore and GPO application.
		
	Updates to installer 
		Uninstall always reenable built-in "New" context menu 
	
	Updated DevDoc
		Added a note on how to manually restore built-in New

3e1b07f52c Color picker - Lab format: use roundoff optional #13603 (#42986) 
<!-- 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 default CIELab format rounds the values to two decimal places, which
is a degree of precision that isn't always needed. This PR adds an
optional formatting character (i) to the three CIELab format parameters,
which rounds the value to the nearest integer.

<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

In the case where a or b get rounded to -0 (e.g. -0.0001 rounds to -0),
the negative sign gets removed. However, I noticed during testing that
the default format (rounding to two decimal places) retains the negative
sign in these situations (see third screenshot). I can a) revert to
keeping the -0 for the new rounding behavior, b) change -0 to 0 for
other rounded values, or c) leave it as-is. Also open to suggestions.

I can update the docs as well, if we're happy with the approach.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Settings: Can change the default CIELab format to display rounded
values
- Settings: Can create a custom format with rounded CIELab values
- Color Picker: Rounded values are displayed when hovering and as a
saved color

75bf64299d Creating a Common.UI.Controls lib (#45542) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

@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.

09bdbfac38 build(updating): Add WinRT coroutine support and refactor async methods (#45522) 
## 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.

and link it here: #xxx

## 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.

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

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.

0de2af77ac CmdPal: Make Calculator Great Again (#44594) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR continues the tradition of alphabetical progress. After
[MBGA](#41961), we move on to **MCBA — Make Calculator Better Again!**

- Introduces limited automatic correction and completion of expressions.
- The goal is to allow uninterrupted typing and avoid disruptions when a
partially entered expression is temporarily invalid (which previously
caused the result to be replaced by an error message or hidden by the
fallback).
  - The implementation intentionally aims for a sweet spot:
    - Ignores trailing binary operators.
    - Automatically closes all opened parentheses.
- It is not exhaustive; for example, incomplete constants or functions
may still result in an invalid query.
- Copy current result to the search bar.
- Adds an option to copy the current result to the search bar when the
user types `=` at the end of the expression.
  - Adds a new menu item for the same action.
  - Fixes the **Save** command to also copy the result to the query.
- Adds support for the `factorial(x)` function and the `x!` expression.
- Factorial calculations are supported up to `170!` (limited by
`double`), but display is constrained by decimal conversion and allows
direct display of results up to `20!`.
- Adds support for the `sign(x)` function.
- Adds support for the `π` symbol as an alternative to the `pi`
constant.
- Adds a context menu item to the result list item and fallback that
displays the octal representation of the result.
- Implements beautification of the query:
- Converts technical symbols such as `*` or `/` to `×` or `÷`,
respectively.
- Not enabled for fallbacks for now, since the item text should match
the query to keep the score intact.
- Implements additional normalization of symbols in the query:
  - Percent: `％`, `%`, `﹪`
  - Minus: `−`, `-`, `–`, `—`
  - Factorial: `！`, `!`
- Multiplication: `*`, `×`, `∗`, `·`, `⋅`, `✕`, `✖`, `\u2062` (invisible
times)
  - Division: `/`, `÷`, `➗`, `:`
- Allows use of `²` and `³` as alternatives to `^2` and `^3`.
- Updates the unit test that was culture sensitive to force en-US output
(not an actual fix, but at least it clears false positive for now)
- Fixes pre-parsing of scientific notation to prevent capturing minus
sign as part of it.
- Fixes normalization/rounding of the result, so it can display small
values (the current solution turned it into a string with scientific
notation and couldn't parse it back).
- Updates test with new cases

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

**Build System & Configuration:**
- Updated `Cpp.Build.props` to use `v145` (VS 2026) as the default
`PlatformToolset`, with fall back to `v143` for VS 2022.
- Configured C++ Language Standard:
  - `stdcpplatest` for production projects.
- Removed explicit `<PlatformToolset>` definitions from individual
project files (approx. 37 modules) to inherit correctly from the central
`Cpp.Build.props`.

**Code Refactoring & Fixes:**
- Updated `DrawingHelperTests.cs` in MouseJump Unit Test to ease the
pixel difference tolerance. This became an issue after switching to the
new VS2026 build agent.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

- Validated successful compilation of the entire solution. Similar
updates have been made to the .NET 10 branch, but these are much cleaner
and will be merged into that branch once fully confirmed working.

0899961e56 Docs: consolidate instructions and fix prompt frontmatter (#44610) 
Title: Docs: consolidate Copilot instructions and prompt metadata

## Summary
- Consolidated AI guidance into a root AGENTS.md and new
`.github/instructions` files, removing older per-folder instructions.
- Scoped instruction files for pipelines, common libraries,
runner/settings UI, prompts, and simplified
`.github/copilot-instructions.md` to point to the sources of truth.
- Fixed prompt frontmatter (YAML markers, quoted fields, headings)
across built-in prompt files.
- Most instructions.md is from https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot

## Testing
- Not run (documentation/instructions-only change)

876130c3cd Fix Peek allowing Local File Inclusion (LFI) and RCE (#44601) 
<!-- 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 PR #44456, we disabled scripts and HTML, but we still want to allow
HTML rendering.

This pull request introduces significant security improvements and UI
enhancements to the file previewer, focusing on safe rendering of files
and better user communication when opening external links. The main
changes include strict resource filtering to prevent external content
loading (and potential XSS attacks), a more informative dialog when
opening external URIs, and improved logic for determining how different
file types are previewed.

**Security enhancements:**

* Added strict resource filtering for non-dev file previews in
`BrowserControl` to block external HTTP/S requests and limit local file
access to the same directory and subdirectories, preventing XSS and
unwanted external content loading.
* Set the `WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS` environment variable
to block new web contents for extra security.
* Removed disabling of HTML rendering in the Markdown pipeline to allow
safe local rendering (now protected by resource filtering).

**File preview logic improvements:**

* Refactored previewer logic to prioritize file type handling: Markdown,
SVG, HTML/HTM, Monaco-supported source code, and fallback types,
ensuring correct preview strategy and context menu behavior for each
type.
* Resource filtering is dynamically applied or removed based on whether
the file is a dev/source code file (Monaco editor) or not, ensuring
compatibility and security.

**User interface enhancements:**

* Updated the open URI dialog to include a warning banner and improved
messaging, informing users about the risks of opening external links.

## 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.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request focuses on improving the security and behavior of
Markdown file previews. The main changes include disabling HTML
rendering in Markdown to prevent potential security issues, and ensuring
that the `IsDevFilePreview` flag is set correctly when previewing
Markdown files.

**Markdown rendering and preview behavior:**

* Disabled HTML rendering in the Markdown pipeline by adding
`.DisableHtml()` in `MarkdownHelper.MarkdownHtml`, which helps prevent
XSS and other security issues in file previews.
* Explicitly set `IsDevFilePreview` to `false` when handling Markdown
files in `WebBrowserPreviewer`, ensuring correct preview state.

97c1de8bf6 CmdPal: Light, dark, pink, and unicorns (#43505) 
<!-- 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 user settings for app mode themes (dark, light, or
system) and background customization options, including custom colors,
system accent colors, or custom images.

- Adds a new page to the Settings window with new appearance settings
and moves some existing settings there as well.
- Introduces a new core-level service abstraction, `IThemeService`, that
holds the state for the current theme.
- Uses the helper class `ResourceSwapper` to update application-level
XAML resources. The way WinUI / XAML handles these is painful, and XAML
Hot Reload is pain². Initialization must be lazy, as XAML resources can
only be accessed after the window is activated.
- `ThemeService` takes app and system settings and selects one of the
registered `IThemeProvider`s to calculate visuals and choose the
appropriate XAML resources.
  - At the moment, there are two:
    - `NormalThemeProvider`
      - Provides the current uncolorized light and dark styles  
      - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Normal.xaml`
    - `ColorfulThemeProvider`
- Style that matches the Windows 11 visual style (based on the Start
menu) and colors
      - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Colorful.xaml`  
- Applied when the background is colorized or a background image is
selected
- The app theme is applied only on the main window
(`WindowThemeSynchronizer` helper class can be used to synchronize other
windows if needed).
- Adds a new dependency on `Microsoft.Graphics.Win2D`.
- Adds a custom color picker popup; the one from the Community Toolkit
occasionally loses the selected color.
- Flyby: separates the keyword tag and localizable label for pages in
the Settings window navigation.

<!-- 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 old implementation checked
`HKLM\Software\Classes\powertoys\InstallScope` first. If this key
existed (even as a remnant from incomplete uninstall), it would
immediately return `PerMachine` without validating the actual
installation.

### Fix
- Uses Windows standard Uninstall registry (most reliable source of
truth)
- Identifies PowerToys Bundle by exact `BundleUpgradeCode` GUID match 
- MSI component entries (always in HKLM) are automatically ignored since
they don't have `BundleUpgradeCode`
- Checks HKCU first, then HKLM, properly handling the fact that Bundle
location reflects true install scope

SettingsUtils is initialized multiple times over the whole solution.
This creates one singeltone instance (with the default settings), so it

that)

ccaa876af2 [UI Tests] Peek - fix UI tests via setting hotkeys back to Ctrl+Space combo for tests only (#43168) 
This pull request introduces a static initialization step to the
`PeekFilePreviewTests` class to ensure the correct test settings are
present before tests run. The main change is the addition of a static
constructor that creates or updates the `settings.json` file with
predefined settings, including setting the activation shortcut to
Ctrl+Space.

Test setup improvements:

* Added a static constructor to `PeekFilePreviewTests` that calls a new
`FixSettingsFileBeforeTests` method, ensuring the necessary settings
file exists and is properly configured before any tests execute.
* Implemented `FixSettingsFileBeforeTests` to create the required
directory and write a `settings.json` file with specific test
configuration, including setting the activation shortcut to Ctrl+Space
and other test-relevant properties.

cd988b798b Add Cursor Wrap functionality to Powertoys Mouse Utils (#41826) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Cursor Wrap makes it simple to move the mouse from one edge of a display
(or set of displays) to the opposite edge of the display stack - on a
single display Cursor Wrap will wrap top/bottom and left/right edges.

## 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.

957b653210 CmdPal: Add a micro global error handler (#41392) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a scaled-down version of the global error handler
from #41061.

- Catches and logs virtually all unhandled exceptions.
- For UI thread exceptions, generates an additional error report:
    - One copy is saved in app's log folder for the Bug Report Tool.
- Another copy can be placed to the user’s desktop to increase
visibility and encourage report submission (disabled for now).
- Displays a message box that tells the user where to find the saved
report.

This PR is intentionally minimal and focused. The complete, more
polished solution is still planned in #41061, which should replace this
implementation in a follow-up.

## 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`)

* 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`,

* Added telemetry event for enabling/disabling space mode.

### Code Quality

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.

6defcd52f3 Enhance UI test automation by collecting PowerToys logs on failures (#41690) 
<!-- 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 enhances the test automation infrastructure by
improving diagnostics collection when UI tests fail. Specifically, it
introduces automatic collection of PowerToys log files, in addition to
existing screenshots, to aid in debugging failed tests.

**Diagnostics and Logging Improvements:**

* Added a new method `AddLogFilesToTestResultsDirectory` to
automatically copy PowerToys log files from both `LocalLow` and
`LocalAppData` directories to the test results directory when a test
fails. The method is robust to errors and will not fail the test if log
file copying encounters issues.
* Introduced a helper method `CopyLogFilesFromDirectory` that
recursively copies `.log` files from the PowerToys directories, renaming
them to include their directory structure for easier identification in
the test results.
* Updated the test failure handling logic to invoke the new log
collection method alongside the existing screenshot collection.
