 **✨Highlights**
 
- - PowerToys settings debuts a modern, card-based dashboard with clearer descriptions and faster navigation for a streamlined user experience.
- - Command Palette had over 99 issues resolved, including bringing back Clipboard History, adding context menu shortcuts, pinning favorite apps, and supporting history in Run.
- - Command Palette reduced its startup memory usage by ~15%, load time by ~40%, built-in extensions loading time by ~70%, and installation size by ~55%—all due to using the full Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation mode in Windows App SDK.
- - Peek now supports instant previews and embedded thumbnails for Binary G-code (.bgcode) 3D printing files, making it easy to inspect models at a glance. Thanks [@pedrolamas](https://github.com/pedrolamas)!
- - Mouse Utilities introduces a new spotlight highlighting mode that dims the screen and draws attention to your cursor, perfect for presentations.
- - Test coverage improvements for multiple PowerToys modules including Command Palette, Advanced Paste, Peek, Text Extractor, and PowerRename — ensuring better reliability and quality, with over 600 new unit tests (mostly for Command Palette) and doubled UI automation coverage.
+ - Enhanced Advanced Paste by adding media transcoding support to convert different video and audio file formats! Thanks [@snickler](https://github.com/snickler) for your help!
+ - Fixed crashes when loading thumbnails after the .NET 9 update and resolved PowerLauncher.exe blocking other MSI installers from creating shortcuts!
+ - Fixed accessibility issues across FancyZones, Image Resizer, and Settings to improve screen reader support and clarity!
+ - Enhanced UI automation framework across modules and added new tests to cover manual checks, with more improvements coming!

-## Running tests in pipeline
-
-The PowerToys UI test pipeline provides flexible options for building and testing:
-
-### Pipeline Options
-
-- **buildSource**: Select the build type for testing:
-  - `latestMainOfficialBuild`: Downloads and uses the latest official PowerToys build from main branch
-  - `buildNow`: Builds PowerToys from current source code and uses it for testing
-  - `specificBuildId`: Downloads a specific PowerToys build using the build ID specified in `specificBuildId` parameter
-
-  **Default value**: `latestMainOfficialBuild`
-
-- **specificBuildId**: When `buildSource` is set to `specificBuildId`, specify the exact PowerToys build ID to download and test against.
-
-  **Default value**: `"xxxx"` (placeholder, enter actual build ID when using specificBuildId option)
-  
-  **When to use this**:
-  - Testing against a specific known build for reproducibility
-  - Regression testing against a particular build version
-  - Validating fixes in a specific build before release
-  
-  **Usage**: Enter the build ID number (e.g., `12345`) to download that specific build. Only used when `buildSource` is set to `specificBuildId`.
-
-- **uiTestModules**: Specify which UI test modules to build and run. This parameter controls both the `.csproj` projects to build and the `.dll` test assemblies to execute. Examples:
-  - `['UITests-FancyZones']` - Only FancyZones UI tests
-  - `['MouseUtils.UITests']` - Only MouseUtils UI tests
-  - `['UITests-FancyZones', 'MouseUtils.UITests']` - Multiple specific modules
-  - Leave empty to build and run all UI test modules
-
-  **Important**: The `uiTestModules` parameter values must match both the test project names (for `.csproj` selection during build) and the test assembly names (for `.dll` execution during testing).
-
-### Build Modes
-
-1. **Official Build Testing** (`buildSource = latestMainOfficialBuild` or `specificBuildId`)
-   - Downloads and installs official PowerToys build (latest from main or specific build ID)
-   - Builds only UI test projects (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
-   - Runs UI tests against installed PowerToys
-   - Tests both machine-level and per-user installation modes automatically
-
-2. **Current Source Build Testing** (`buildSource = buildNow`)
-   - Builds entire PowerToys solution from current source code
-   - Builds UI test projects (all or specific based on `uiTestModules`)
-   - Runs UI tests against freshly built PowerToys
-   - Uses artifacts from current pipeline build
-
-> **Note**: All modes support the `uiTestModules` parameter to control which specific UI test modules to build and run. Both machine-level and per-user installation modes are tested automatically when using official builds.

-# PowerToys Context Menu Handlers
-
-This document describes how context menu handlers are implemented in PowerToys, covering both Windows 10 and Windows 11 approaches.
-
-## Context Menu Implementation Types
-
-PowerToys implements two types of context menu handlers:
-
-1. **Old-Style Context Menu Handlers**
-   - Used for Windows 10 compatibility
-   - Registered via registry entries
-   - Implemented as COM objects exposing the `IContextMenu` interface
-   - Registered for specific file extensions
-
-2. **Windows 11 Context Menu Handlers**
-   - Implemented as sparse MSIX packages
-   - Exposing the `IExplorerCommand` interface
-   - Located in `PowerToys\x64\Debug\modules\<module>\<module>.msix`
-   - Registered for all file types and filtered in code
-   - Requires signing to be installed
-
-## Context Menu Handler Registration Approaches
-
-PowerToys modules use two different approaches for registering context menu handlers:
-
-### 1. Dual Registration (e.g., ImageResizer, PowerRename)
-
-- Both old-style and Windows 11 context menu handlers are registered
-- Results in duplicate entries in Windows 11's expanded context menu
-- Ensures functionality even if Windows 11 handler fails to appear
-- Old-style handlers appear in the "Show more options" expanded menu
-
-### 2. Selective Registration (e.g., NewPlus)
-
-- Windows 10: Uses old-style context menu handler
-- Windows 11: Uses new MSIX-based context menu handler
-- Avoids duplicates but can cause issues if Windows 11 handler fails to register
-
-## Windows 11 Context Menu Handler Implementation
-
-### Package Registration
-
-- MSIX packages are defined in `AppManifest.xml` in each context menu project
-- Registration happens in `DllMain` of the module interface DLL when the module is enabled
-- Explorer restart may be required after registration for changes to take effect
-- Registration can be verified with `Get-AppxPackage` PowerShell command:
-  ```powershell
-  Get-AppxPackage -Name *PowerToys*
-  ```
-
-### Technical Implementation
-
-- Handlers implement the `IExplorerCommand` interface
-- Key methods:
-  - `GetState`: Determines visibility based on file type
-  - `Invoke`: Handles the action when the menu item is clicked
-  - `GetTitle`: Provides the text to display in the context menu
-- For selective filtering (showing only for certain file types), the logic is implemented in the `GetState` method
-
-### Example Implementation Flow
-
-1. Build generates an MSIX package from the context menu project
-2. When the module is enabled, PowerToys installs the package using `PackageManager.AddPackageAsync`
-3. The package references the DLL that implements the actual context menu handler
-4. When the user right-clicks, Explorer loads the DLL and calls into its methods
-
-## Debugging Context Menu Handlers
-
-### Debugging Old-Style (Windows 10) Handlers
-
-1. Update the registry to point to your debug build
-2. Restart Explorer
-3. Attach the debugger to explorer.exe
-4. Set breakpoints and test by right-clicking in File Explorer
-
-### Debugging Windows 11 Handlers
-
-1. Build PowerToys to get the MSIX packages
-2. Sign the MSIX package with a self-signed certificate
-3. Replace files in the PowerToys installation directory
-4. Use PowerToys to install the package
-5. Restart Explorer
-6. Run Visual Studio as administrator
-7. Set breakpoints in relevant code
-8. Attach to DllHost.exe process when context menu is triggered
-
-### Debugging Challenges
-
-- Windows 11 handlers require signing and reinstalling for each code change
-- DllHost loads the DLL only when context menu is triggered and unloads after
-- For efficient development, use logging or message boxes instead of breakpoints
-- Consider debugging the Windows 10 handler by removing OS version checks
-
-## Common Issues
-
-- Context menu entries not showing in Windows 11
-  - Usually due to package not being removed/updated properly on PowerToys update
-  - Fix: Uninstall and reinstall the package or restart Explorer
-- Registering packages requires signing
-  - For local testing, create and install a signing certificate
-- Duplicate entries in Windows 11 context menu
-  - By design for some modules to ensure availability if Windows 11 handler fails

-The Monaco editor files are located in the relevant module directories. For example, in Registry Preview, Monaco files are bundled with the application resources.
-
-## Versioning and Updates
-
-### Current Version
-
-The current Monaco version can be found in the `loader.js` file, specifically in the variable named `versionMonaco`.
-
-### Update Process
-
-Updating Monaco requires several steps:
-
-1. Download the latest version of Monaco
-2. Replace/override the main folder with the new version
-3. Generate the new Monaco language JSON file
-4. Override the existing JSON file
-
-For detailed step-by-step instructions, see the [FilePreviewCommon documentation](FilePreviewCommon.md#update-monaco-editor).
-
-#### Estimated Time for Update
-
-The Monaco update process typically takes approximately 30 minutes.
-
-#### Reference PRs
-
-When updating Monaco, you can refer to previous Monaco update PRs as examples, as they mostly involve copy-pasting the Monaco source code with minor adjustments.
-
-## Customizing Monaco
-
-### Adding New Language Definitions
-
-Monaco can be customized to support new language definitions for syntax highlighting:
-
-1. Identify the language you want to add
-2. Create or modify the appropriate language definition files
-3. Update the Monaco configuration to recognize the new language
-
-For detailed instructions on adding language definitions, see the [FilePreviewCommon documentation](FilePreviewCommon.md#add-a-new-language-definition).
-
-### Adding File Extensions to Existing Languages
-
-To make Monaco handle additional file extensions using existing language definitions:
-
-1. Locate the language mapping configuration
-2. Add the new file extension to the appropriate language entry
-3. Update the file extension registry
-
-For detailed instructions on adding file extensions, see the [FilePreviewCommon documentation](FilePreviewCommon.md#add-a-new-file-extension-to-an-existing-language).
-
-Example: If Monaco processes TXT files and you want it to preview LOG files the same way, you can add LOG extensions to the TXT language definition.
-
-## Installer Handling
-
-Monaco source files are managed via a script (`Generate-Monaco-wxs.ps1`) that:
-1. Automatically generates the installer manifest to include all Monaco files
-2. Avoids manually listing all Monaco files in the installer configuration
-
-This approach simplifies maintenance and updates of the Monaco editor within PowerToys.

-# PowerToys Architecture
-
-## Module Interface Overview
-
-Each PowerToys utility is defined by a module interface (DLL) that provides a standardized way for the PowerToys Runner to interact with it. The module interface defines:
-
-- Structure for hotkeys
-- Name and key for the utility
-- Configuration management
-- Enable/disable functionality
-- Telemetry settings
-- Group Policy Object (GPO) configuration
-
-### Types of Modules
-
-1. **Simple Modules** (like Mouse Pointer Crosshairs, Find My Mouse)
-   - Entirely contained in the module interface
-   - No external application
-   - Example: Mouse Pointer Crosshairs implements the module interface directly
-
-2. **External Application Launchers** (like Color Picker)
-   - Start a separate application (e.g., WPF application in C#)
-   - Handle events when hotkeys are pressed
-   - Communication via named pipes or other IPC mechanisms
-
-3. **Context Handler Modules** (like Power Rename)
-   - Shell extensions for File Explorer
-   - Add right-click context menu entries
-   - Windows 11 context menu integration through MSIX
-
-4. **Registry-based Modules** (like Power Preview)
-   - Register preview handlers and thumbnail providers
-   - Modify registry keys during enable/disable operations
-
-## Common Dependencies and Libraries
-
-- SPD logs for C++ (centralized logging system)
-- CPP Win RT (used by most utilities)
-- Common utilities in `common` folder for reuse across modules
-- Interop library for C++/C# communication (converted to C++ Win RT)
-- Common.UI library has WPF and WinForms dependencies
-
-## Resource Management
-
-- For C++ applications and module interfaces:
-  - Resource files (.resx) need to be converted to .rc
-  - Use conversion tools before building
-  
-- Different resource approaches:
-  - WPF applications use .resx files
-  - WinUI 3 apps use .resw files
-  
-- PRI file naming requirements:
-  - Need to override default names to avoid conflicts during flattening
-
-## Implementation details
-
-### [`Runner`](runner.md)
-
-The PowerToys Runner contains the project for the PowerToys.exe executable.
-It's responsible for:
-
-- Loading the individual PowerToys modules.
-- Passing registered events to the PowerToys.
-- Showing a system tray icon to manage the PowerToys.
-- Bridging between the PowerToys modules and the Settings editor.
-
-### [`Interface`](../modules/interface.md)
-
-The definition of the interface used by the [`runner`](/src/runner) to manage the PowerToys. All PowerToys must implement this interface.
-
-### [`Common`](../common.md)
-
-The common lib, as the name suggests, contains code shared by multiple PowerToys components and modules, e.g. [json parsing](/src/common/utils/json.h) and [IPC primitives](/src/common/interop/two_way_pipe_message_ipc.h).
-
-### [`Settings`](settings/readme.md)
-
-Settings v2 is our current settings implementation. Please head over to the dev docs that describe the current settings system.

-# PowerToys Installer
-
-## Installer Architecture (WiX 3)
-
-- Uses a bootstrapper to check dependencies and close PowerToys
-- MSI defined in product.wxs
-- Custom actions in C++ for special operations:
-  - Getting install folder
-  - User impersonation
-  - PowerShell module path retrieval
-  - GPO checking
-  - Process termination
-
-### Installer Components
-
-- Separate builds for machine-wide and user-scope installation
-- Supports x64 and ARM64
-- Custom actions DLL must be signed separately before installer build
-- WXS files generated during build process for file components
-- Localization handling for resource DLLs
-- Firewall exceptions for certain modules
-
-### MSI Installer Build Process
-
-- First builds `PowerToysSetupCustomActions` DLL and signs it
-- Then builds the installer without cleaning, to reuse the signed DLL
-- Uses PowerShell scripts to modify .wxs files before build
-- Restores original .wxs files after build completes
-- Scripts (`applyBuildInfo.ps1` and `generateFileList.ps1`) dynamically update files list for installer
-  - Helps manage all self-contained dependencies (.NET, WinAppSDK DLLs, etc.)
-  - Avoids manual maintenance of file lists
-
-### Special Build Processes
-
-- .NET applications need publishing for correct WebView2 DLL inclusion
-- WXS files backed up and regenerated during build
-- Monaco UI components (JavaScript/HTML) generated during build
-- Localization files downloaded from server during CI release builds
-
-## Per-User vs Per-Machine Installation
-
-- Functionality is identical
-- Differences:
-  - Per-User: 
-    - Installed to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\PowerToys`
-    - Registry entries in HKCU
-    - Different users can have different installations/settings
-  - Per-Machine:
-    - Installed to `Program Files\PowerToys`
-    - Registry entries in HKLM
-    - Single installation shared by all users
-- Default is now Per-User installation
-- Guards prevent installing both types simultaneously
-
-## MSIX Usage in PowerToys
-
-- Context menu handlers for Windows 11 use sparse MSIX packages
-- Previous attempts to create full MSIX installers were abandoned
-- Command Palette will use MSIX when merged into PowerToys
-- The main PowerToys application still uses MSI for installation
-
-### MSIX Packaging and Extensions
-
-- MSIX packages for extensions (like context menus) are included in the PowerToys installer
-- The MSIX files are built as part of the PowerToys build process
-- MSIX files are saved directly into the root folder with base application files
-- The installer includes MSIX files but doesn't install them automatically
-- Packages are registered when a module is enabled
-- Code in `package.h` checks if a package is registered and verifies the version
-- Packages will be installed if a version mismatch is detected
-- When uninstalling PowerToys, the system checks for installed packages with matching display names and attempts to uninstall them
-
-## GPO Files (Group Policy Objects)
-
-- GPO files for x64 and ARM64 are identical
-- Only one set is needed
-- GPO files in pipeline are copies of files in source
-
-## Installer Debugging
-
-- Can only build installer in Release mode
-- Typically debug using logs and message boxes
-- Logs located in:
-  - `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\PowerToys_bootstrapper_*.log` - MSI tool logs
-  - `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\PowerToys_*.log` - Custom installer logs
-- Logs in Bug Reports are useful for troubleshooting installation issues
-
-### Building PowerToys Locally
-
-#### One stop script for building installer
-1. Open developer powershell for vs 2022
-2. Run tools\build\build-installer.ps1
-> For the first-time setup, please run the installer as an administrator. This ensures that the Wix tool can move wix.target to the desired location and trust the certificate used to sign the MSIX packages.
-
-The following manual steps will not install the MSIX apps (such as Command Palette) on your local installer.
-
-#### Prerequisites for building the MSI installer

-# PowerToys Runner
-
-The PowerToys Runner is the main executable (`PowerToys.exe`) that loads and manages all PowerToys modules.
-
-## Runner Architecture
-
-The Runner is responsible for:
-- Managing the tray icon
-- Loading and managing module interfaces
-- Handling enabling/disabling modules
-- Processing global hotkeys
-- Managing updates and settings
-
-### Key Components
-
-- Main CPP file manages the tray icon and modules
-- Creates a list of modules with DLL paths
-- Special handling for WinUI 3 apps (separated in different folder)
-- DLLs flattening for consistent versions
-- Runs as part of the Windows message loop
-- Creates a window handle with a specific class name
-- Registers itself as the window handler for components requiring a window handler
-
-### Process Flow
-
-1. Initialize logger
-2. Create single instance application mutex
-3. Initialize common utility code
-4. Parse command line arguments
-5. Start the tray icon
-6. Initialize low-level keyboard hooks
-7. Load module interfaces from DLLs
-8. Start enabled modules
-9. Enter Windows message loop
-10. On exit, stop modules and clean up resources
-
-## System Tray Icon Implementation
-
-The system tray icon is one of the first components that starts when calling the `render_main` function:
-
-- Defined in `tray_icon.h` and `tray_icon.cpp`
-- Creates a popup window and registers as window handler via `start_tray_icon()`
-- Processes window messages through `tray_icon_window_proc()`
-- Uses `WM_COMMAND` and tray icon notifications for handling menu options
-- Handles left mouse clicks (distinguishes between single and double clicks)
-- Monitors taskbar creation to re-register the icon if needed
-- Uses `shell_notify_icon` to register with the system tray
-
-### Tray Icon Initialization and Message Processing
-
-- `start_tray_icon()` initializes the tray icon by:
-  - Creating a window with the specified class name
-  - Setting up the notification icon data structure (NOTIFYICONDATA)
-  - Registering for taskbar recreate messages
-  - Adding the icon to the system tray
-
-- `tray_icon_window_proc()` processes window messages, including:
-  - Handling `wm_icon_notify` messages from tray icon interactions
-  - Distinguishing between left-click, double-click, and right-click actions
-  - Showing context menus or opening Settings windows based on interaction type
-
-### Communication with Settings UI
-
-When the tray icon is clicked or a menu option is selected, the Runner communicates with the Settings UI:
-
-- For quick access flyout (left-click):
-  ```cpp
-  current_settings_ipc->send(L"{\"ShowYourself\":\"flyout\"}");
-  ```
-  
-- For the main dashboard (menu option or double-click):
-  ```cpp
-  current_settings_ipc->send(L"{\"ShowYourself\":\"Dashboard\"}");
-  ```
-
-### IPC Communication Mechanism
-
-- The Runner and Settings UI communicate through Windows Named Pipes
-- A two-way pipe (TwoWayPipeMessageIPC) is established between processes
-- JSON messages are sent through this pipe to control UI behavior
-- The Settings UI initializes the pipe connection on startup:
-  ```csharp
-  ipcmanager = new TwoWayPipeMessageIPCManaged(cmdArgs[(int)Arguments.SettingsPipeName], 
-                                              cmdArgs[(int)Arguments.PTPipeName], 
-                                              (string message) => {
-      if (IPCMessageReceivedCallback != null && message.Length > 0) {
-          IPCMessageReceivedCallback(message);
-      }
-  });
-  ```
-
-### Settings UI Message Processing
-
-The Settings UI processes incoming IPC messages through a callback chain:
-
-1. Messages from the Runner are received through the IPC callback
-2. Messages are parsed as JSON objects
-3. Registered handlers in `ShellPage.ShellHandler.IPCResponseHandleList` process the messages
-4. The `ReceiveMessage` method in `ShellPage` interprets commands:
-   - For flyout display: `"ShowYourself": "flyout"`
-   - For main window: `"ShowYourself": "Dashboard"` or other page names
-
-When showing the flyout, the tray icon can also send position coordinates to place the flyout near the tray icon:
-```json
-{
-  "ShowYourself": "flyout",
-  "x_position": 1234,
-  "y_position": 567
-}
-```
-
-The flyout window is then activated and brought to the foreground using native Windows APIs to ensure visibility.
-
-### Tray Icon Menu
-- Menus are defined in `.RC` files (Resource files)
-- `base.h` defines IDs
-- `resources.resx` contains localized strings
-- The tray icon window proc handles showing the popup menu
-
-## Centralized Keyboard Hook
-
-- Located in "centralized_keyboard_hook.cpp"
-- Handles hotkeys for multiple modules to prevent performance issues
-- Contains optimizations to exit early when possible:
-  - Ignores keystrokes generated by PowerToys itself
-  - Ignores when no keys are actually pressed
-  - Uses metadata to avoid re-processing modified inputs
-- Performance consideration: handler must run very fast as it's called on every keystroke
-
-## Module Loading Process
-
-1. Scan module directory for DLLs
-2. Create the module interface object for each module
-3. Load settings for each module
-4. Initialize each module
-5. Check GPO policies to determine which modules can start
-6. Start enabled modules that aren't disabled by policy
-
-## Finding and Messaging the Tray Icon
-
-The tray icon class is used when sending messages to the runner. For example, to close the runner:
-
-```cpp
-// Find the window with the PowerToys tray icon class and send it a close message
-WM_CLOSE
-```
-
-## Key Files and Their Purposes
-
-#### [`main.cpp`](/src/runner/main.cpp)
-Contains the executable starting point, initialization code and the list of known PowerToys. All singletons are also initialized here at the start. Loads all the powertoys by scanning the `./modules` folder and `enable()`s those marked as enabled in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\settings.json` config. Then it runs [a message loop](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/winmsg/using-messages-and-message-queues) for the tray UI. Note that this message loop also [handles lowlevel_keyboard_hook events](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/1760af50c8803588cb575167baae0439af38a9c1/src/runner/lowlevel_keyboard_event.cpp#L24).
-
-#### [`powertoy_module.h`](/src/runner/powertoy_module.h) and [`powertoy_module.cpp`](/src/runner/powertoy_module.cpp)
-Contains code for initializing and managing the PowerToy modules. `PowertoyModule` is a RAII-style holder for the `PowertoyModuleIface` pointer, which we got by [invoking module DLL's `powertoy_create` function](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/1760af50c8803588cb575167baae0439af38a9c1/src/runner/powertoy_module.cpp#L13-L24).
-
-#### [`tray_icon.cpp`](/src/runner/tray_icon.cpp)
-Contains code for managing the PowerToys tray icon and its menu commands. Note that `dispatch_run_on_main_ui_thread` is used to 
-transfer received json message from the [Settings window](/doc/devdocs/settings.md) to the main thread, since we're communicating with it from [a dedicated thread](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/7357e40d3f54de51176efe54fda6d57028837b8c/src/runner/settings_window.cpp#L267-L271).
-
-#### [`settings_window.cpp`](/src/runner/settings_window.cpp)
-Contains code for starting the PowerToys settings window and communicating with it. Settings window is a separate process, so we're using [Windows pipes](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/ipc/pipes) as a transport for json messages.
-
-#### [`general_settings.cpp`](/src/runner/general_settings.cpp)
-Contains code for loading, saving and applying the general settings.
-
-#### [`auto_start_helper.cpp`](/src/runner/auto_start_helper.cpp)
-Contains helper code for registering and unregistering PowerToys to run when the user logs in.
-
-#### [`unhandled_exception_handler.cpp`](/src/runner/unhandled_exception_handler.cpp)
-Contains helper code to get stack traces in builds. Can be used by adding a call to `init_global_error_handlers` in [`WinMain`](./main.cpp).
-
-#### [`trace.cpp`](/src/runner/trace.cpp)
-Contains code for telemetry.
-
-#### [`svgs`](/src/runner/svgs/)
-Contains the SVG assets used by the PowerToys modules.
-
-#### [`bug_report.cpp`](/src/runner/bug_report.cpp)
-Contains logic to start bug report tool.
-
-#### [`centralized_hotkeys.cpp`](/src/runner/centralized_hotkeys.cpp)
-Contains hot key logic registration and un-registration.
-
-#### [`centralized_kb_hook.cpp`](/src/runner/centralized_kb_hook.cpp)
-Contains logic to handle PowerToys' keyboard shortcut functionality.
-
-#### [`restart_elevated.cpp`](/src/runner/restart_elevated.cpp)
-Contains logic for restarting the current process with different elevation levels.
-
-#### [`RestartManagement.cpp`](/src/runner/RestartManagement.cpp)
-Contains code for restarting a process.
-
-#### [`settings_telemetry.cpp`](/src/runner/settings_telemetry.cpp)
-Contains logic that periodically triggers module-specific setting's telemetry delivery and manages timing and error handling for the process.
-
-#### [`UpdateUtils.cpp`](/src/runner/UpdateUtils.cpp)
-Contains code to handle the automatic update checking, notification, and installation process for PowerToys.

-# Group Policy Integration
-
-PowerToys settings can be controlled and enforced via Group Policy. This document describes how Group Policy integration is implemented in the settings system.
-
-## Overview
-
-Group Policy settings for PowerToys allow administrators to:
-
-- Enable or disable PowerToys entirely
-- Control which modules are available
-- Configure specific settings for individual modules
-- Enforce settings across an organization
-
-## Implementation Details
-
-When a setting is controlled by Group Policy:
-
-1. The UI shows the setting as locked (disabled)
-2. The module checks GPO settings before applying user settings
-3. GPO settings take precedence over user settings
-
-## Group Policy Settings Detection
-
-The settings UI checks for Group Policy settings during initialization:
-
-```csharp
-// Example code for checking if a setting is controlled by GPO
-bool isControlledByPolicy = RegistryHelper.GetGPOValue("PolicyKeyPath", "PolicyValueName", out object value);
-if (isControlledByPolicy)
-{
-    // Use the policy value and disable UI controls
-    setting.IsEnabled = false;
-    setting.Value = (bool)value;
-}
-```
-
-## UI Indication for Managed Settings
-
-When a setting is managed by Group Policy, the UI indicates this to the user:
-
-- Controls are disabled (grayed out)
-- A tooltip indicates the setting is managed by policy
-- The actual policy value is displayed
-
-## Testing Group Policy Settings
-
-To test Group Policy integration:
-
-1. Create a test GPO using the PowerToys ADMX template
-2. Apply settings in the Group Policy Editor
-3. Verify that the settings UI correctly reflects the policy settings
-4. Verify that the modules honor the policy settings
-
-## GPO Settings vs. User Settings
-
-The precedence order for settings is:
-
-1. Group Policy settings (highest priority)
-2. User settings (lower priority)
-3. Default settings (lowest priority)
-
-When a setting is controlled by Group Policy, attempts to modify it through the settings UI or programmatically will not persist, as the policy value will always take precedence.
-
-For more information on PowerToys Group Policy implementation, see the [GPO Implementation](/doc/devdocs/processes/gpo.md) documentation.

-# Settings Implementation
-
-This document describes how settings are implemented in PowerToys modules, including code examples for C++ and C# modules, and details on debugging settings issues.
-
-## C++ Settings Implementation
-
-For C++ modules, the settings system is implemented in the following files:
-
-- `settings_objects.h` and `settings_objects.cpp`: Define the basic settings objects
-- `settings_helpers.h` and `settings_helpers.cpp`: Helper functions for reading/writing settings
-- `settings_manager.h` and `settings_manager.cpp`: Main interface for managing settings
-
-### Reading Settings in C++
-
-```cpp
-#include <common/settings_objects.h>
-#include <common/settings_helpers.h>
-
-auto settings = PowerToysSettings::Settings::LoadSettings(L"ModuleName");
-bool enabled = settings.GetValue(L"enabled", true);
-```
-
-### Writing Settings in C++
-
-```cpp
-PowerToysSettings::Settings settings(L"ModuleName");
-settings.SetValue(L"setting_name", true);
-settings.Save();
-```
-
-## C# Settings Implementation
-
-For C# modules, the settings are accessed through the `SettingsUtils` class in the `Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Library` namespace:
-
-### Reading Settings in C#
-
-```csharp
-using Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Library;
-
-// Read settings
-var settings = SettingsUtils.GetSettings<ModuleSettings>("ModuleName");
-bool enabled = settings.Enabled;
-```
-
-### Writing Settings in C#
-
-```csharp
-using Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Library;
-
-// Write settings
-settings.Enabled = true;
-SettingsUtils.SaveSettings(settings.ToJsonString(), "ModuleName");
-```
-
-## Settings Handling in Modules
-
-Each PowerToys module must implement settings-related functions in its module interface:
-
-```cpp
-// Get the module's settings
-virtual PowertoyModuleSettings get_settings() = 0;
-
-// Called when settings are changed
-virtual void set_config(const wchar_t* config_string) = 0;
-```
-
-When the user changes settings in the UI:
-
-1. The settings UI serializes the settings to JSON
-2. The JSON is sent to the PowerToys runner via IPC
-3. The runner calls the `set_config` function on the appropriate module
-4. The module parses the JSON and applies the new settings
-
-## Debugging Settings
-
-To debug settings issues:
-
-1. Check the settings files in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\`
-2. Ensure JSON is well-formed
-3. Monitor IPC communication between settings UI and runner using debugger breakpoints at key points:
-   - In the Settings UI when sending configuration changes
-   - In the Runner when receiving and dispatching changes
-   - In the Module when applying changes
-4. Look for log messages related to settings changes in the PowerToys logs
-
-### Common Issues
-
-- **Settings not saving**: Check file permissions or conflicts with other processes accessing the file
-- **Settings not applied**: Verify IPC communication is working and the module is properly handling the configuration
-- **Incorrect settings values**: Check JSON parsing and type conversion in the module code

-## Adding a New Module with Settings
-
-Adding a new module with settings requires changes across multiple projects. Here's a step-by-step guide with references to real implementation examples:
-
-### 1. Settings UI Library (Data Models)
-
-Define the data models for your module's settings in the Settings UI Library project. These data models will be serialized to JSON configuration files stored in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\`.
-
-Example: [Settings UI Library implementation](https://github.com/shuaiyuanxx/PowerToys/pull/3/files#diff-9be1cb88a52ce119e5ff990811e5fbb476c15d0d6b7d5de4877b1fd51d9241c3)
-
-### 2. Settings UI (User Interface)
-
-#### 2.1 Add a navigation item in ShellPage.xaml
-
-The ShellPage.xaml is the entry point for the PowerToys settings, providing a navigation view of all modules. Add a navigation item for your new module.
-
-Example: [Adding navigation item](https://github.com/shuaiyuanxx/PowerToys/pull/3/files#diff-5a06e6e7a5c99ae327c350c9dcc10036b49a2d66d66eac79a8364b4c99719c6b)
-
-#### 2.2 Create a settings page for your module
-
-Create a new XAML page that contains all the settings controls for your module.
-
-Example: [New settings page](https://github.com/shuaiyuanxx/PowerToys/pull/3/files#diff-310fd49eba464ddf6a876dcf61f06a6f000ca6744f3a1f915c48c58384d7bacb)
-
-#### 2.3 Implement the ViewModel
-
-Create a ViewModel class that handles the settings data and operations for your module.
-
-Example: [ViewModel implementation](https://github.com/shuaiyuanxx/PowerToys/pull/3/files#diff-409472a53326f2288c5b76b87c7ea8b5527c43ede12214a15b6caabe0403c1d0)
-
-### 3. Module Implementation
-
-#### 3.1 Implement PowertoyModuleIface in dllmain.cpp
-
-The module interface must implement the PowertoyModuleIface to allow the runner to interact with it.
-
-Reference: [PowertoyModuleIface definition](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/cc644b19982d09fcd2122fe7590c77496c4973b9/src/modules/interface/powertoy_module_interface.h#L6C1-L35C4)
-
-#### 3.2 Implement Module UI
-
-Create a UI for your module using either WPF (like ColorPicker) or WinUI3 (like Advanced Paste).
-
-### 4. Runner Integration
-
-Add your module to the known modules list in the runner so it can be brought up and initialized.
-
-Example: [Runner integration](https://github.com/shuaiyuanxx/PowerToys/pull/3/files#diff-c07e4e5e9ce3c371d4c47f496b5f66734978a3c4f355c7e446c1ef19e086a4d6)
-
-### 5. Testing and Debugging
-
-1. Test each component individually:
-   - Verify settings serialization/deserialization
-   - Test module activation/deactivation
-   - Test IPC communication
-
-2. For signal-related issues, ensure all modules work correctly before debugging signal handling.
-
-3. You can debug each module directly in Visual Studio or by attaching to running processes.
-
-### Recommended Implementation Order
-
-1. Module/ModuleUI implementation
-2. Module interface (dllmain.cpp)
-3. Runner integration
-4. Settings UI implementation
-5. OOBE (Out of Box Experience) integration
-6. Other components

-# Debugging PowerToys
-
-This document covers techniques and tools for debugging PowerToys.
-
-## Pre-Debugging Setup
-
-Before you can start debugging PowerToys, you need to set up your development environment:
-
-1. Fork the repository and clone it to your machine
-2. Navigate to the repository root directory
-3. Run `git submodule update --init --recursive` to initialize all submodules
-4. Change directory to `.config` and run `winget configure .\configuration.vsEnterprise.winget` (pick the configuration file that matches your Visual Studio distribution)
-
-### Optional: Building Outside Visual Studio
-
-You can build the entire solution from the command line, which is sometimes faster than building within Visual Studio:
-
-1. Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022
-2. Navigate to the repository root directory
-3. Run the following command(don't forget to set the correct platform):
-   ```
-   msbuild -restore -p:RestorePackagesConfig=true -p:Platform=ARM64 -m PowerToys.sln
-   ```
-4. This process should complete in approximately 13-14 minutes for a full build
-
-## Debugging Techniques
-
-### Visual Studio Debugging
-
-To debug the PowerToys application in Visual Studio, set the `runner` project as your start-up project, then start the debugger.
-
-Some PowerToys modules must be run with the highest permission level if the current user is a member of the Administrators group. The highest permission level is required to be able to perform some actions when an elevated application (e.g. Task Manager) is in the foreground or is the target of an action. Without elevated privileges some PowerToys modules will still work but with some limitations:
-
-- The `FancyZones` module will not be able to move an elevated window to a zone.
-- The `Shortcut Guide` module will not appear if the foreground window belongs to an elevated application.
-
-Therefore, it is recommended to run Visual Studio with elevated privileges when debugging these scenarios. If you want to avoid running Visual Studio with elevated privileges and don't mind the limitations described above, you can do the following: open the `runner` project properties and navigate to the `Linker -> Manifest File` settings, edit the `UAC Execution Level` property and change it from `highestAvailable (level='highestAvailable')` to `asInvoker (/level='asInvoker').
-
-### Shell Process Debugging Tool
-
-The Shell Process Debugging Tool is a Visual Studio extension that helps debug multiple processes, which is especially useful for PowerToys modules started by the runner.
-
-#### Debugging Setup Process
-
-1. Install ["Debug Child Processes"](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsdbgplat.MicrosoftChildProcessDebuggingPowerTool2022) Visual Studio extension
-2. Configure which processes to debug and what debugger to use for each
-3. Start PowerToys from Visual Studio
-4. The extension will automatically attach to specified child processes when launched
-
-#### Debugging Color Picker Example
-
-1. Set breakpoints in both ColorPicker and its module interface
-2. Use Shell Process Debugging to attach to ColorPickerUI.exe
-3. Debug .NET and native code together
-4. Runner needs to be running to properly test activation
-
-#### Debugging DLL Main/Module Interface
-
-- Breakpoints in DLL code will be hit when loaded by runner
-- No special setup needed as DLL is loaded into runner process
-
-#### Debugging Short-Lived Processes
-
-- For processes with short lifetimes (like in Workspaces)
-- List all processes explicitly in debugging configuration
-- Set correct debugger type (.NET debugger for C# code)
-
-### Finding Registered Events
-
-1. Run WinObj tool from SysInternals as administrator
-2. Search for event name
-3. Shows handles to the event (typically runner and module)
-
-### Common Debugging Usage Patterns
-
-#### Debugging with Bug Report
-1. Check module-specific logs for exceptions/crashes
-2. Copy user's settings to your AppData to reproduce their configuration
-3. Check Event Viewer XML files if logs don't show crashes
-4. Compare installation_folder_structure.txt to detect corrupted installations
-5. Check installer logs for installation-related issues
-6. Look at Windows version and language settings for patterns across users
-
-#### Installer Debugging
-- Can only build installer in Release mode
-- Typically debug using logs and message boxes
-- Logs located in:
-  - `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\PowerToys_bootstrapper_*.log` - MSI tool logs
-  - `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\PowerToys_*.log` - Custom installer logs
-- Logs in Bug Reports are useful for troubleshooting installation issues
-
-#### Settings UI Debugging
-- Use shell process debugging to connect to newly created processes
-- Debug the `PowerToys.Settings.exe` process
-- Add breakpoints as needed for troubleshooting
-- Logs are stored in the local app directory: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys`
-- Check Event Viewer for application crashes related to `PowerToys.Settings.exe`
-- Crash dumps can be obtained from Event Viewer

-# PowerToys Development Guidelines
-
-## Using Open Source Packages and Libraries
-
-### License Considerations
-- MIT license is generally acceptable for inclusion in the project
-- For any license other than MIT, double check with the PM team
-- All external packages or projects must be mentioned in the `notice.md` file
-- Even if a license permits free use, it's better to verify with the team
-
-### Safety and Quality Considerations
-- Ensure the code being included is safe to use
-- Avoid repositories or packages that are not widely used
-- Check for packages with significant downloads/usage and good ratings
-- Important because our pipeline signs external DLLs with Microsoft certificate
-- Unsafe code signed with Microsoft certificate can cause serious issues
-
-## Code Signing
-
-### Signing JSON File
-- Modifications to the signing JSON file are typically done manually
-- When adding new DLLs (internal PowerToys modules or external libraries)
-- When the release pipeline fails with a list of unsigned DLLs/executables:
-  - For PowerToys DLLs, manually add them to the list
-  - For external DLLs, verify they're safe to sign before including
-
-### File Signing Requirements
-- All DLLs and executables must be signed
-- New files need to be added to the signing configuration
-- CI checks if all files are signed
-- Even Microsoft-sourced dependencies are signed if they aren't already
-
-## Performance Measurement
-
-- Currently no built-in timers to measure PowerToys startup time
-- Startup measurement could be added in the runner:
-  - At the start of the main method
-  - After all module interface DLLs are loaded
-- Alternative: use profilers or Visual Studio profiler
-- Startup currently takes some time due to:
-  - Approximately 20 module interface DLLs that need to be loaded
-  - Modules that are started during loading
-- No dashboards or dedicated tools for performance measurement
-- Uses System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch in code
-- Performance data is logged to default PowerToys logs
-- Can search logs for stopwatch-related messages to diagnose performance issues
-- Some telemetry events contain performance information
-
-## Dependency Management
-
-### WinRT SDK and CS/WinRT
-- Updates to WinRT SDK and CS/WinRT are done periodically
-- WinRT SDK often requires higher versions of CS/WinRT or vice versa
-- Check for new versions in NuGet.org or Visual Studio's NuGet Package Explorer
-- Prefer stable versions over preview versions
-- Best practice: Update early in the release cycle to catch potential regressions
-
-### WebView2
-- Used for components like monotone file preview
-- WebView2 version is related to the WebView runtime in Windows
-- Previous issues with Windows Update installing new WebView runtime versions
-- WebView team now includes PowerToys testing in their release cycle
-- When updating WebView2:
-  - Update the version
-  - Open a PR
-  - Perform sanity checks on components that use WebView2
-
-### General Dependency Update Process
-- When updating via Visual Studio, it will automatically update dependencies
-- After updates, perform:
-  - Clean build
-  - Sanity check that all modules still work
-  - Open PR with changes
-
-## Testing Requirements
-
-### Multiple Computers
-- **Mouse Without Borders**: Requires multiple physical computers for proper testing
-  - Testing with VMs is not recommended as it may cause confusion between host and guest mouse input
-  - At least 2 computers are needed, sometimes testing with 3 is done
-  - Testing is usually assigned to team members known to have multiple computers
-
-### Multiple Monitors
-- Some utilities require multiple monitors for testing
-- At least 2 monitors are recommended
-- One monitor should be able to use different DPI settings
-
-### Fuzzing Testing
-- Security team requires fuzzing testing for modules that handle file I/O or user input
-- Helps identify vulnerabilities and bugs by feeding random, invalid, or unexpected data
-- PowerToys integrates with Microsoft's OneFuzz service for automated testing
-- Both .NET (C#) and C++ modules have different fuzzing implementation approaches
-- New modules handling file I/O or user input should implement fuzzing tests
-- For detailed setup instructions, see [Fuzzing Testing in PowerToys](../tools/fuzzingtesting.md)
-
-### Testing Process
-- For reporting bugs during the release candidate testing:
-  1. Discuss in team chat
-  2. Determine if it's a regression (check if bug exists in previous version)
-  3. Check if an issue is already open
-  4. Open a new issue if needed
-  5. Decide on criticality for the release (if regression)
-
-### Release Testing
-- Team follows a release checklist
-- Includes testing for WinGet configuration
-- Sign-off process:
-  - Teams sign off on modules independently
-  - Regressions found in first release candidates lead to PRs
-  - Second release candidate verified fixes
-  - Command Palette needs separate sign-off
-  - Final verification ensures modules don't crash with Command Palette integration
-
-## PR Management and Release Process
-
-### PR Review Process
-- PM team typically tags PRs with "need review" 
-- Small fixes from community that don't change much are usually accepted
-- PM team adds tags like "need review" to highlight PRs
-- PMs set priorities (sometimes using "info.90" tags)
-- PMs decide which PRs to prioritize
-- Team members can help get PRs merged when there's flexibility
-
-### PR Approval Requirements
-- PRs need approval from code owners before merging
-- New team members can approve PRs but final approval comes from code owners
-
-### PR Priority Handling
-- Old PRs sometimes "slip through the cracks" if not high priority
-- PMs tag important PRs with "priority one" to indicate they should be included in release
-- Draft PRs are generally not prioritized
-
-### Specific PR Types
-- CI-related PRs need review and code owner approval
-- Feature additions (like GPO support) need PM decision on whether the feature is wanted
-- Bug fixes related to Watson errors sometimes don't have corresponding issue links
-- Command Palette is considered high priority for the upcoming release
-
-## Project Management Notes
-
-- Be careful about not merging incomplete features into main
-- Feature branches should be used for work in progress
-- PRs touching installer files should be carefully reviewed
-- Incomplete features should not be merged into main
-- Use feature branches (feature/name-of-feature) for work-in-progress features
-- Only merge to main when complete or behind experimentation flags

-## Localization on the pipeline (CDPX)
-[The localization step](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L45-L52) is run on the pipeline before the solution is built. This step runs the [build-localization](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/build-localization.cmd) script, which generates resx files for all the projects with localization enabled using the `Localization.XLoc` package.
-
-The [`Localization.XLoc`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/build-localization.cmd#L24-L25) tool is run on the repo root, and it checks for all occurrences of `LocProject.json`. Each localized project has a `LocProject.json` file in the project root, which contains the location of the English resx file, list of languages for localization, and the output path where the localized resx files are to be copied to. In addition to this, some other parameters can be set, such as whether the language ID should be added as a folder in the file path or in the file name. When the CDPX pipeline is run, the localization team is notified of changes in the English resx files. For each project with localization enabled, a `loc` folder (see [the loc folder in the Microsoft.Launcher module](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/modules/launcher/Microsoft.Launcher/loc) for example) is created in the same directory as the `LocProject.json` file. The folder contains language specific folders which in turn have a nested folder path equivalent to `OutputPath` in the `LocProject.json`. Each of these folders contain one `lcl` file. The `lcl` files contain the English resources along with their translation for that language. These are described in more detail in the [Lcl files section](#lcl-files). Once the `.resx` files are generated, they will be used during the `Build PowerToys` step for localized versions of the modules.
-
-Since the localization script requires certain nuget packages, the [`restore-localization`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/restore-localization.cmd) script is run before running `build-localization` to install all the required packages. This script must [run in the `restore` step](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L37-L39) of pipeline because [the host is network isolated](https://onebranch.visualstudio.com/Pipeline/_wiki/wikis/Pipeline.wiki/2066/Consuming-Packages-in-a-CDPx-Pipeline?anchor=overview) at the `build` step. The [Toolset package source](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L23) is used for this.
-
-The process and variables that can be tweaked on the pipeline are described in more detail on [onebranch (account required) under Localization](https://onebranch.visualstudio.com/Pipeline/_wiki/wikis/Pipeline.wiki/290/Localization).
-
-The localized resource dlls for C# projects are added to the MSI only for build on the pipeline. This is done by checking if the [`IsPipeline` variable is defined](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/installer/PowerToysSetup/Product.wxs#L804-L805), which gets defined before [building the installer on the pipeline](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/.pipelines/build-installer.cmd#L4). This is done because the localized resx files are only present on the pipeline, and not having this check would result in the installer project failing to build locally.
-
-## Enabling localization on a new project
-To enable localization on a new project, the first step is to create a file `LocProject.json` in the project root.
-
-For example, for a project in the folder `src\path` where the resx file is present in `resources\Resources.resx`, the LocProject.json file will contain the following:
-```
-{
-    "Projects": [
-        {
-            "LanguageSet": "Azure_Languages",
-            "LocItems": [
-                {
-                    "SourceFile": "src\\path\\resources\\Resources.resx",
-                    "CopyOption": "LangIDOnName",
-                    "OutputPath": "src\\path\\resources"
-                }
-            ]
-        }
-    ]
-}
-```
-The rest of the steps depend on the project type and are covered in the sections below. The steps to add the localized files to the MSI can be found in [Enabling localized MSI for a new project](#Enabling-localized-MSI-for-a-new-project).
-
-### C++
-C++ projects do not support `resx` files, and instead use `rc` files along with `resource.h` files. The CDPX pipeline however doesn't support localizing `rc` files and the other alternative they support is directly translating the resources from the binary which makes it harder to maintain resources. To avoid this, a custom script has been added which expects a resx file and converts the entries to an rc file with a string table and adds resource declarations to a resource.h file so that the resources can be compiled with the C++ project.
-
-If you already have a .rc file, copy the string table to a separate txt file and run the [convert-stringtable-to-resx.ps1](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/tools/build/convert-stringtable-to-resx.ps1) script on it. This script is not very robust to input, and requires the data in a specific format, where `IDS_ResName L"ResourceValue"` and any number of spaces can be present in between. The script converts this file to the format expected by [`resgen`](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/tools/resgen-exe-resource-file-generator#Convert), which will convert it to resx. The resource names are changed from all uppercase to title case, and the `IDS_` prefix is removed. Escape characters might have to be manually replaced, for example .rc files would have escaped double quotes as `""`, so this should be replaced with just `"` before converting to the resx files.
-
-After generating the resx file, rename the existing rc and h files to ProjName.base.rc and resource.base.h. In the rc file remove the string table which is to be localized and in the .h file remove all `#define`s corresponding to localized resources. In the vcxproj of the C++ project, add the following build event:
-```
-<Target Name="GenerateResourceFiles" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">
-    <Exec Command="powershell -NonInteractive -executionpolicy Unrestricted $(SolutionDir)tools\build\convert-resx-to-rc.ps1 $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory) resource.base.h resource.h ProjName.base.rc ProjName.rc" />
-</Target>
-```
-
-This event runs a script which generates a resource.h and ProjName.rc in the `Generated Files` folder using the strings in all the resx files along with the existing information in resource.base.h and ProjName.base.rc. The script is [convert-resx-to-rc.ps1](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/tools/build/convert-resx-to-rc.ps1). The script uses [`resgen`](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/tools/resgen-exe-resource-file-generator#Convert) to convert the resx file to a string table expected in the .rc file format. When the resources are added to the rc file the `IDS_` prefix is added and resource names are in upper case (as it was originally). Any occurrences of `"` in the string resource is escaped as `""` to prevent build errors. The string tables are added to the rc file in the following format:
-```
-#if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENU)
-LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
-
-STRINGTABLE
-BEGIN
-    strings
-END
-
-#endif
-```
-Since there is no API to identify the `AFX_TARG_*`, `LANG_*` or `SUBLANG_*` values from each langId from the pipeline, these are hardcoded in the script (for each language) as done in [lines 50-77 of `convert-resx-to-rc.ps1`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/tools/build/convert-resx-to-rc.ps1#L50-L77). **If any other languages are added in the future, this script will have to be updated.** In order to determine what are the language codes, you can open the rc file in Resource View, right click the string table and press `Insert Copy` and choose the corresponding language. This autogenerates the required code and can be used to figure out the language codes. The files also add the resource declarations to a resource.h file, starting from 101 by default(this can be changed by an optional argument). Since the output files will be generated in `Generated Files`, any includes in these two files will require an additional `..\` and wherever resource.h is used, it will have to be included as `Generated Files\resource.h`. While adding `resource.base.h` and `ProjName.base.rc` to the vcxproj, these should be modified to not participate in the build to avoid build errors:
-```
-<None Include="Resources.resx" />
-```
-
-Some rc/resource.h files might be used in multiple projects (for example, KBM). To ensure the projects build for these cases, the build event can be added to the entire directory so that the rc files are generated before any project is built. See [Directory.Build.targets](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/Directory.Build.targets) for an example.
-
-Check [this PR](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/6104) for an example for making these changes for a C++ project.
-
-### C#
-Since C# projects natively support `resx` files, the only step required here is to include all the resx files in the build. For .NET Core projects this is done automatically and the .csproj does not need to be modified. For other projects, the following line needs to be added:
-```
-<EmbeddedResource Include="Properties\Resources.*.resx" />
-```
-
-**Note:** Building with localized resources may cause a build warning `Referenced assembly 'mscorlib.dll' targets a different processor` which is a VS bug. More details can be found in [PowerToys issue #7269](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/7269).
-
-**Note:** If a project needs to be migrated from XAML resources to resx, the easiest way to convert the resources would be to change to format to `=` separates resources by either manually (by Ctrl+H on a text editor), or by a script, and then running [`resgen`](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/tools/resgen-exe-resource-file-generator#Convert) on `Developer Command Prompt for VS` to convert it to resx format.
-```
-<system:String x:Key="wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_name">Calculator</system:String>
-<system:String x:Key="wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_description">Allows to do mathematical calculations.(Try 5*3-2 in Wox)</system:String>
-<system:String x:Key="wox_plugin_calculator_not_a_number">Not a number (NaN)</system:String>
-```
-to
-```
-wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_name=Calculator
-wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_description=Allows to do mathematical calculations.(Try 5*3-2 in Wox)
-wox_plugin_calculator_not_a_number=Not a number (NaN)
-```
-After adding the resx file to the project along with the resource generator, references to the strings will have to be replaced with `Properties.Resources.resName` rather than the custom APIs. Check [this PR](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/6165) for an example of the changes required.
-
-### UWP
-UWP projects expect `resw` files rather than `resx` (the format is almost the same). Unlike other C# projects, the files are expected in the format `fullLangId\Resources.resw`. To include these files in the build, replace the following line in the csproj:
-```
-<PRIResource Include="Strings\en-us\Resources.resw" />
-```
-to
-```
-<PRIResource Include="Strings\*\Resources.resw" />
-```
-
-## Lcl Files
-Lcl files contain all the resources that are present in the English resx file, along with a translation if it has been added.
-
-For example, an entry for a resource in the lcl file looks like this:
-```
-<Item ItemId=";EditKeyboard_WindowName" ItemType="0;.resx" PsrId="211" Leaf="true">
-    <Str Cat="Text">
-        <Val><![CDATA[Remap keys]]></Val>
-        <Tgt Cat="Text" Stat="Loc" Orig="New">
-            <Val><![CDATA[Remapper des touches]]></Val>
-        </Tgt>
-    </Str>
-    <Disp Icon="Str" />

-```
-The `<Tgt>` element would not be present in the initial commits of the lcl files, as only the English version of the string would be present.
-
-**Note:** The CDPX Localization system has a fail-safe check on the lcl files, where if the English string value which is present inside `<Val><![CDATA[*]]></Val>` does not match the value present in the English Resources.resx file then the translated value will not be copied to the localized resx file. This is present so that obsolete translations would not be loaded when the English resource has changed, and the English string will be used rather than the obsolete translation.
-
-## Possible Issues in localization PRs (LEGO)
-Since the LEGO PRs update some of the strings in LCL files at a time, there can be multiple PRs which modify the same files, leading to merge conflicts. In most cases this would show up on GitHub as a merge conflict, but sometimes a bad git merge may occur, and the file could end up with incorrect formatting, such as two `<Tgt>` elements for a single resource. These can be fixed by ensuring the elements follow the format described in [this section](#lcl-files). To catch such errors, the build farm should be run for every LEGO PR and if any error occurs in the localization step, we should check the corresponding resx/lcl files for conflicts.
-
-## Enabling localized MSI for a new project
-For C++ and UWP projects no additional files are generated with localization that need to be added to the MSI. For C++ projects all the resources are added to the dll/exe, while for UWP projects they are added to the `resources.pri` file (which is present even for an unlocalized project). To verify if the localized resources are added to the `resources.pri` file the following steps can be done:
-- Open `Developer Command Prompt for VS`
-- After navigating to the folder containing the pri file, run the following command:
-
-        makepri.exe dump /if .\resources.pri
-- Check the contents of the `resources.pri.xml` file that is generated from the command. The last section of the file will contain the resources with the strings in all the languages:
-```
-<NamedResource name="GeneralSettings_RunningAsAdminText" uri="ms-resource://f4f787a5-f0ae-47a9-be89-5408b1dd2b47/Resources/GeneralSettings_RunningAsAdminText">
-    <Candidate qualifiers="Language-FR" type="String">
-        <Value>Running as administrator</Value>
-    </Candidate>
-    <Candidate qualifiers="Language-EN-US" isDefault="true" type="String">
-        <Value>Running as administrator</Value>
-    </Candidate>
-</NamedResource>
-```
-
-For C# projects, satellite dlls are generated when the project is built. For a project named `ProjName`, files are created in the format `langId\ProjName.resources.dll` where `langId` is in the same format as the lcl files. The satellite dlls need to be included with the MSI, but they must be added only if the solution is built from the build farm, as the localized resx files will not be present on local machines (and that could cause local builds of the installer to fail).
-This can be done by adding the directory name of the project to [Product.wxs near line 806](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/installer/PowerToysSetup/Product.wxs#L806) and a resource component for the project can be created in [Product.wxs near lines 845-847](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/installer/PowerToysSetup/Product.wxs#L845-L847) in this format:
-```
-<Component Id="ProjName_$(var.IdSafeLanguage)_Component" Directory="Resource$(var.IdSafeLanguage)ProjNameInstallFolder">
-    <File Id="ProjName_$(var.IdSafeLanguage)_File" Source="$(var.BinX64Dir)modules\ProjName\$(var.Language)\ProjName.resources.dll" />
-</Component>
-```
-
-We should also ensure the new dlls are signed by the pipeline. Currently all dlls of the form [`*.resources.dll` are signed](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L68).
-
-**Note:** The resource dlls should be added to the MSI project only after the initial commit with the lcl files has been done by the Localization team. Otherwise, the pipeline will fail as there wouldn't be any resx files to generate the dlls.
-
-## Working With Strings
-
-In order to support localization **YOU SHOULD NOT** have hardcoded UI display strings in your code. Instead, use resource files to consume strings. 
-
-### For CPP
-Use [`StringTable` resource][String Table] to store the strings and resource header file(`resource.h`) to store Id's linked to the UI display string. Add the strings with Id's referenced from the header file to the resource-definition script file. You can use [Visual Studio Resource Editor][VS Resource Editor] to create and manage resource files.
-
-- `resource.h`:
-
-XXX must be a unique int in the list (mostly the int ID of the last string id plus one):
-
-```cpp
-#define IDS_MODULE_DISPLAYNAME                    XXX
-```
-
-- `StringTable` in resource-definition script file `validmodulename.rc`:
-
-```
-STRINGTABLE
-BEGIN
-    IDS_MODULE_DISPLAYNAME               L"Module Name"
-END
-```
-
-- Use the `GET_RESOURCE_STRING(UINT resource_id)` method to consume strings in your code.
-```cpp
-#include <common.h>
-
-std::wstring GET_RESOURCE_STRING(IDS_MODULE_DISPLAYNAME)
-```
-
-### For C#
-Use [XML resource file(.resx)][Resx Files] to store the UI display strings and [`Resource Manager`][Resource Manager] to consume those strings in the code. You can use [Visual Studio][Resx Files VS] to create and manage XML resources files.
-
-- `Resources.resx`
-
-```xml
-  <data name="ValidUIDisplayString" xml:space="preserve">
-    <value>Description to be displayed on UI.</value>
-    <comment>This text is displayed when XYZ button clicked.</comment>
-  </data>
-```
-
-- Use [`Resource Manager`][Resource Manager] to consume strings in code.
-```csharp
-System.Resources.ResourceManager manager = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(baseName, assembly);
-string validUIDisplayString = manager.GetString("ValidUIDisplayString", resourceCulture);
-```
-
-In case of Visual Studio is used to create the resource file. Simply use the `Resources` class in auto-generated `Resources.Designer.cs` file to access the strings which encapsulate the [`Resource Manager`][Resource Manager] logic.
-
-```csharp
-string validUIDisplayString = Resources.ValidUIDisplayString;
-```

-# Logging and Telemetry in PowerToys
-
-## Logging Types in PowerToys
-
-PowerToys has several types of logging mechanisms:
-1. Text file logs (application writes logs to files)
-2. Telemetry/diagnostic data (sent to Microsoft servers)
-3. Event Viewer logs (used by some utilities like Mouse Without Borders)
-4. Watson reports (crash reports sent to Microsoft)
-
-## Log File Locations
-
-### Regular Logs
-- Located at: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\Logs`
-- Organized by utility and sometimes by version
-- Examples: PowerToys Run logs, module interface logs
-- C# and C++ components both write logs to these locations
-
-### Low-Privilege Logs
-- Some components (like preview handlers and thumbnail providers) are started by Explorer and have low privileges
-- These components write logs to: `%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Microsoft/PowerToys`
-- Example: Monaco preview handler logs
-
-### Module Logs
-- Logs always stored in user's AppData regardless of installation type
-- Each module creates its own log
-- Even with machine-wide installation, logs are per-user
-- Different users can have different logs even with a machine-wide installation
-
-## Log Implementation
-
-### C++ Logging
-
-In C++ projects we use the awesome [spdlog](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog) library for logging as a git submodule under the `deps` directory. To use it in your project, just include [spdlog.props](/deps/spdlog.props) in a .vcxproj like this:
-
-```xml
-<Import Project="..\..\..\deps\spdlog.props" />
-```
-It'll add the required include dirs and link the library binary itself.
-
-- Projects need to include the logging project as a dependency
-- Uses a git submodule for the actual logging library
-- Logs are initialized in the main file:
-  ```cpp
-  init_logger();
-  ```
-- After initialization, any file can use the logger
-- Logger settings contain constants like log file locations
-
-### C# Logging
-
-For C# projects there is a static logger class in Managed Common called `Logger`.
-
-To use it, add a project reference to `ManagedCommon` and add the following line of code to all the files using the logger:
-
-```Csharp
-using ManagedCommon;
-```
-
-In the `Main` function (or a function with a similar meaning (like `App` in a `App.xaml.cs` file)) you have to call `InitializeLogger` and specify the location where the logs will be saved (always use a path scheme similar to this example):
-
-```Csharp
-Logger.InitializeLogger("\\FancyZones\\Editor\\Logs");
-```
-
-For a low-privilege process you have to set the optional second parameter to `true`:
-
-```Csharp
-Logger.InitializeLogger("\\FileExplorer\\Monaco\\Logs", true);
-```
-
-The `Logger` class contains the following logging functions:
-
-```Csharp
-// Logs an error that the utility encountered
-Logger.LogError(string message);
-Logger.LogError(string message, Exception ex);
-// Logs an error that isn't that grave
-Logger.LogWarning(string message);
-// Logs what the app is doing at the moment
-Logger.LogInfo(string message);
-// Like LogInfo just with infos important for debugging
-Logger.LogDebug(string message);
-// Logs the current state of the utility.
-Logger.LogTrace();
-```
-
-## Log File Management
-- Currently, most logs are not automatically cleaned up
-- Some modules have community contributions to clean old logs, but not universally implemented
-- By default, all info-level logs are written
-- Debug and trace logs may not be written by default
-- Log settings can be found in settings.json, but not all APIs honor these settings
-
-## Telemetry
-
-### Implementation
-- Uses Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) for telemetry
-- Different from the text file logging system
-- Keys required to send telemetry to the right server
-  - Keys are not stored in the repository
-  - Obfuscated in public code
-  - Replaced during the release process
-  - Stored in private NuGet packages for release builds
-
-### C++ Telemetry
-- Managed through trace_base.h which:
-  - Registers the provider
-  - Checks if user has disabled diagnostics
-  - Defines events
-- Example from Always On Top:
-  ```cpp
-  Trace::AlwaysOnTop::Enable(true);
-  ```
-
-### C# Telemetry
-- Uses PowerToysTelemetry class
-- WriteEvent method sends telemetry
-- Projects add a reference to the PowerToys.Telemetry project
-- Example:
-  ```csharp
-  PowerToysTelemetry.Log.WriteEvent(new LauncherShowEvent(hotKey));
-  ```
-
-### User Controls
-- Settings page allows users to:
-  - Turn off/on sending telemetry
-  - Enable viewing of telemetry data
-
-### Viewing Telemetry Data
-- When "Enable viewing" is turned on, PowerToys starts ETW tracing
-- Saves ETL files for 28 days
-- Located at: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\ETL` (for most utilities)
-- Low-privilege components save to a different location
-- Button in settings converts ETL to XML for user readability
-- XML format chosen to follow approved compliance pattern from Windows Subsystem for Android
-- Files older than 28 days are automatically deleted
-
-## Bug Report Tool
-
-The [BugReportTool](/tools/BugReportTool) can be triggered via:
-- Right-click on PowerToys tray icon → Report Bug
-- Left-click on tray icon → Open Settings → Bug Report Tool
-
-It creates a zip file on desktop named "PowerToys_Report_[date]_[time].zip" containing logs and system information.
-
-See [Bug Report Tool](../tools/bug-report-tool.md) for more detailed information about the tool.

-## If for any reason, you'd like to test winget install scenario, you can follow this doc:
-
-### Powertoys winget manifest definition:
-[winget repository](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys)
-
-### How to test a winget installation locally:
-1. Get artifacts from release CI pipeline  Pipelines - Runs for PowerToys Signed YAML Release Build, or you can build one yourself by execute the 
- 'tools\build\build-installer.ps1' script
-
-2. Get the artifact hash, this is required to define winget manifest
-```powershell
-cd /path/to/your/directory/contains/installer
-Get-FileHash -Path ".\<Installer-name>.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
-```
- 3.  Host your installer.exe - Attention: staged github release artifacts or artifacts in release pipeline is not OK in this step
-You can self-host it or you can upload to a publicly available endpoint  
-**How to selfhost it** (A extremely simple way):
-```powershell
-python -m http.server 8000
-```
-
-4. Download a version folder from wingetpkgs like: [version 0.92.1](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys/0.92.1)
-and you get **a folder contains 3 yml files**
->note: Do not put any files other than these three in this folder
-
-5. Modify the yml files based on your version and the self hosted artifact link, and modify the sha256 hash for the installer you'd like to use
-
-6. Start winget install:
-```powershell
-#execute as admin
-winget settings --enable LocalManifestFiles
-winget install --manifest "<folder_path_of_manifest_files>" --architecture x64 --scope user
-```
