## Summary of the Pull Request
This Bug started when the Win11 context menu integration was first
introduced by Image Resizer in version v0.60.0.
Move Image Resizer to the WinUI3Apps folder to fix file preview issue
when PowerToys is installed on a non-C:\Program Files.
This aligns with the current structure used by File Locksmith and
PowerRename, which are not WinUI 3 apps either, but are already located
there.
### Root Cause:
When registering an MSIX package, the Windows API adds certain user
permissions to the installation folders. Since Image Resizer was
previously placed under the main PowerToys directory, these permission
changes could prevent Explorer from loading its preview handler properly
in per-user scenarios.
Interestingly, this issue only affects per-user installs, not
machine-wide installs (e.g., to Program Files), even though both
locations receive additional permissions. The exact reason is still
unclear and requires further investigation.

## Summary of the Pull Request
### Root Cause
Calling `"CreateFile"` without an explicit `EntryPoint` fails because
kernel32.dll only exports `CreateFileA` and `CreateFileW`.
### Fix
Add EntryPoint = "CreateFileW"
### How to reproduce
The issue is reproducible when the PC is set to Chinese or another
non-English language.

## Validation Steps Performed
## Summary of the Pull Request
The ExprTk result was previously parsed with CurrentCulture, which means
that calculator was broken on every device which's culture info differed
from what ExprTk returns.
It would probably be better to just obtain the result as a double
directly, but that can wait.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
ExprTk, the math library that CmdPal's Calculator uses, returns the
result as a string formatted in `en-US`, therefore we need to also parse
it as `en-US`.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR addresses an issue where ActionRuntime initialization may
repeatedly incur delays and fail during runtime usage, especially when
the OS supports the API but action creation fails.
### Fix:
Introduced ActionRuntimeManager to:
- Manage a shared static ActionRuntime instance
- Perform initialization once, at extension loading time
- Store the result (success or failure) to avoid repeated creation
attempts
Consumers now:
- ActionRuntimeManager.InstanceAsync.GetAwaiter().GetResult()
Initialization will only be attempted up to 3 times. After that, runtime
is marked as unavailable and no further attempts are made.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR addresses an issue where direct double output from exprtk
evaluation led to precision artifacts (e.g., 12.2 + 10 resulting in
22.199999999999999). This behavior is due to how double represents
decimal fractions in binary.
- To improve user-facing precision, the result is now:
- Converted to decimal for higher decimal accuracy.
- Rounded to fit within 15 total significant digits (integer +
fraction).
- Formatted using "G29" to eliminate unnecessary trailing zeros.
- Cleaned up to remove dangling decimal points.
This ensures more intuitive and readable output like:
- 1.9999999999 → "1.9999999999"
- 100000.9999999999 → "100001"
- 100000.999999999 → "100000.999999999"
This change improves clarity, especially for users entering expressions
expecting decimal-accurate results.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This change addresses a significant performance regression caused by
improper handling of null-terminated strings returned from the
SHLoadIndirectString API.
Previously, the output buffer was converted to string using
Span<char>.ToString() without trimming at the null terminator (\0). As a
result, the entire buffer (1024 characters) was converted, including
trailing garbage data after the valid string.
This caused the fuzzy matching logic to process unnecessarily long
strings, leading to excessive CPU usage and input lag (~2 seconds delay
per keystroke).
The fix properly locates the first null terminator in the buffer and
slices the span before converting to string, eliminating trailing
garbage characters. This reduces the workload in the scoring function
and resolves the input lag in the apps extension search.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Root Cause:
After the CsWin32 upgrade, the code switched from using manually
allocated unmanaged buffers (Marshal.AllocHGlobal) to using Span<char>
via outBuffer.AsSpan(). However, the Span length passed to
SHLoadIndirectString was not correctly calculated.

Thanks @AArnott 🙂

## Summary of the Pull Request
This actually fixes an issue with #39794. What I failed to mention in
the original issue was the additional path under the registry that the
new key is located under. Instead of the key being stored directly in
`UserChoiceLatest` in a key named `ProgId`, the path also includes a
second `ProgId` as well.
Copilot tried to fix this issue in #40035, but because I had failed to
mention the additional `ProgId` in the path, it was not included in
Copilot's fix.
Therefore, the true new path is
`.../UserChoiceLatest/ProgId`

## Summary
This PR fixes an issue where PowerToys Web Search and PowerToys Run
would always open Microsoft Edge instead of the user's default browser
on Windows 11 24H2, even when a different browser like Firefox was set
as the default.
## Root Cause
Windows 11 24H2 introduced a change where default browser associations
are now stored in a new registry location:
- **New location**:
`HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoiceLatest`
- **Old location**:
`HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice`
PowerToys was only checking the old registry location, causing it to
fail to find the default browser and fall back to Microsoft Edge.
## Changes Made
Updated both `DefaultBrowserInfo.cs` files to check the new registry
location first, then fall back to the old location for backward
compatibility:
1. **Command Palette Web Search**:
`src/modules/cmdpal/ext/Microsoft.CmdPal.Ext.WebSearch/Helpers/DefaultBrowserInfo.cs`
2. **PowerToys Run**:
`src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Common/DefaultBrowserInfo.cs`
**Before**:
```csharp
var progId = GetRegistryValue(
@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice",
"ProgId");
```
**After**:
```csharp
var progId = GetRegistryValue(
@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoiceLatest",
"ProgId")
?? GetRegistryValue(
@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice",
"ProgId");
```
## Testing
- Verified the fallback logic works correctly with a test application
- Confirmed both affected files are updated with the same pattern
- Ensured backward compatibility with older Windows versions
## Impact
This fix ensures that:
- Users on Windows 11 24H2 will have their default browser respected
- Older Windows versions continue to work as before
- No breaking changes are introduced
Fixes#39794.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR updates all application manifest files across the PowerToys
codebase to use **PerMonitorV2** DPI awareness, ensuring optimal
high-DPI display support on modern Windows systems.
## Changes Made
Updated **12 manifest files** to include proper PerMonitorV2 DPI
awareness:
### Files with New DPI Support Added:
- `src/runner/PowerToys.exe.manifest` - Added complete DPI awareness
section
- `src/modules/awake/Awake/app.manifest` - Upgraded from basic
`dpiAware` to PerMonitorV2
### Files Upgraded from PerMonitor to PerMonitorV2:
- `src/modules/colorPicker/ColorPickerUI/App.manifest`
- `src/modules/MouseWithoutBorders/App/MouseWithoutBorders.exe.manifest`
### Files Enhanced for Consistency:
- `src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.exe.manifest`
- `src/modules/ZoomIt/ZoomIt/Zoomit.exe.manifest`
- All 5 cmdpal extension manifests
## Technical Implementation
All manifests now use the standardized format that provides:
1. **PerMonitorV2** as the primary DPI awareness mode for Windows 10
Anniversary Update and later
3. **`true/PM`** for backward compatibility with pre-Windows 10 systems
```xml
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">true/PM</dpiAware>
<dpiAwareness xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
```

Removes extra call to Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject. This method is meant
to take a .NET object that implements a COM interface and return a
pointer to a COM instance that can be passed to native COM code, but the

## Summary of the Pull Request
This is an additional fix that extends the work done in
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/40023fix#39851
## Problem
[PdfThumbnailProvider](cci:1://file:///d:/Github/PowerToys/src/modules/previewpane/PdfThumbnailProvider/PdfThumbnailProvider.cs:15:8-18:9)
could fail at compile-time **and/or** produce empty or invalid
thumbnails at runtime:
1.
[Image](cci:1://file:///d:/Github/PowerToys/src/modules/previewpane/PdfThumbnailProvider/PdfThumbnailProvider.cs:81:8-103:9)
/ `Bitmap` types come from **System.Drawing**, but the namespace was
missing, causing build errors in environments that don’t rely on
implicit global usings.
2. After rendering the first PDF page to an in-memory stream, the
stream’s cursor remained at the end.
`Image.FromStream(stream.AsStream())` therefore read **zero bytes**,
throwing an exception or creating an empty bitmap.
## Fix
* Added explicit `using System.Drawing;`.
* Added `stream.Seek(0);` right before `Image.FromStream(...)` to rewind
the stream to the beginning.
```csharp
using System.Drawing; // new
...
page.RenderToStreamAsync(...).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
stream.Seek(0); // rewind so Image.FromStream reads data
imageOfPage = Image.FromStream(stream.AsStream());
```
## Testing
- Rebuilt the solution – compilation succeeds without missing-namespace
errors.
- Ran thumbnail handler against multiple PDFs; thumbnails now render
correctly and no runtime exceptions are thrown.
## Impact
Users regain reliable PDF thumbnail previews in Explorer, improving
usability and preventing crashes or blank icons.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added a Theme aware implementation that was already found on other
components, the only difference is that we are dealing with multiple
windows.
It will follow the Power Toys application theme, (windows too in case
PowerToys follows the System).
I decided to change the scope of a variable to not create a second
control of croppedWindows, this may need to be taken into consideration.
## Validation Steps Performed
Using Crop (Win + Ctrl + Shift +R)
Crop one or multiple windows.
All of them have the same theme as the application.
Went to windows theme settings, change to light theme, the app changes
accordingly.
Same behavior was tested with Thumbnail (Win + Ctrl + Shift + T)
Closing windows and changing the theme again.

## Summary of the Pull Request
### This PR implements various fixes and improvements into
RegistryPreview for saving files:
1. Adds an unsaved file indicator in the title bar like in Notepad. (As
indicator we show the * character before the file title.)
2. The save button behaves like a "save as" button, if the file does not
exist on disk like in Notepad. (Without fix when running as non-admin
you get an access denied error message.)
3. If the app gets closed without saving and the file does not exist on
disk, then the user is now asked for the path. (Fixes crash on clicking
save button while closing the app.)
4. Failed save actions are handled now correctly on dirty closing,
opening files and all other actions that require saving the current
state. They will stop the process.
5. A fix for an incorrect enabled state of the save button after
opening, reloading and saving a file.
6. Reuse file name on save as button, if known. Otherwise use "new file"
template name like in Notepad.
7. Fix an app crash if you click the window's close button a second time
while the "Should save?" dialog is opened.
8. Added an reload dialog in case of unsaved changes.

## Summary of the Pull Request
- Adds a new **"Restart Windows Explorer"** command to the **"Windows
System Commands"** provider
- Implemented using **Restart Manager** to allow restoring previously
opened Explorer windows after restart
- This depends on the *"Restore previous folder windows at logon"*
option in File Explorer Options
- An explicit timeout was added for terminating processes, since Restart
Manager uses very long timeouts 😴
- The shell process name (`explorer`) is hardcoded
- The command attempts to terminate all `explorer` processes
indiscriminately
- Execution requires confirmation (if enabled in settings)

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixed build warnings WMC1510 in `HostsMainPage.xaml` that were
preventing proper AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilation compatibility for XAML
data bindings.
### Problem
The Hosts module was generating multiple WMC1510 warnings during build:
```
src\modules\Hosts\HostsUILib\HostsMainPage.xaml(614,13): Warning WMC1510: Ensure the property path is trimming and AOT compatible by making use of 'Compiled Bindings (x:bind)' if possible or by specifying the 'x:DataType' directive...
```
These warnings occurred on 6 different binding expressions in the
EntryDialog ContentDialog that bound to properties of the `Entry` model
class.
### Solution
Applied the recommended fix by adding proper type information for the
XAML compiler:
1. **Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"`** to the ContentDialog element to
specify the binding context type
2. **Added `[Bindable]` attribute** to the Entry model class to ensure
WinRT compatibility
### Changes Made
- **HostsMainPage.xaml**: Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"` attribute to
the EntryDialog ContentDialog
- **Entry.cs**: Added `[Bindable]` attribute and `using
Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Data;` directive
<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- ✅ Resolves all 6 WMC1510 warnings in the specified lines
- ✅ Ensures AOT compilation compatibility
- ✅ No functional changes to UI behavior
- ✅ Minimal code changes (3 lines total)
- ✅ Follows Microsoft's recommended approach for WinRT data binding
The fix enables proper trimming and AOT compilation while maintaining
all existing functionality.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an issue where the warning message in Peek was always
displayed, even when not applicable.
**Root cause**
When non-video files were triggered, the logic did not call
`IsWarningMessageVisible(string? missingCodecName)`
as expected. As a result, the default UI state caused the warning
message to always appear.
**Fix**
Updated the method signature and call sites to:
`public Visibility IsWarningMessageVisible(IPreviewer? previewer,
PreviewState? state)`
This ensures that the logic is consistently triggered across different
preview handlers and has access to the necessary context to determine
whether the warning message should be shown.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Adds option to choose from 3 click behaviors for each standard mouse
button:
* **Pick color and open editor**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to
the color history and opens the editor
* **Pick color and close**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to the
color history and exits
* **Close**: Closes color picker without copying the color
Pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Space</kbd> does what clicking the
primary button would.
Left and middle click actions execute on mouse down, right click on
mouse up for reasons discussed previously (I can't find the conversation
now)
Default settings are chosen in such a way that very little or nothing
changes by updating.
## Validation Steps Performed
Tested:
* Migrating settings from v2.0 to v2.1 (v1 to v2.1 not tested)
* Settings page displays and saves settings correctly
* Default settings load correctly
* All three click actions do what they are supposed to
* Activation behavior works as expected, doesn't affect click actions

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR replaces the original Mages-based expression evaluation engine
with a WinRT-wrapped version of Exprtk in the CmdPalCalculator module.
### Key Changes
**Expression Engine:**
- All expression parsing and evaluation now use Exprtk (via a WinRT
wrapper) instead of Mages.
**Base Conversion Handling:**
- Since Exprtk does not support non-decimal (binary, octal, hexadecimal)
input natively, added logic to convert all such inputs to decimal before
evaluation.
**Code Structure:**
- The overall logic and API surface remain unchanged except for the
engine and base conversion handling.
- All previous Mages references and dependencies have been removed.

## Validation Steps Performed
This pull request introduces a new unit testing framework for the
`WorkspacesLib` module, adds test coverage for various utilities, and
integrates the new test project into the build system. Key changes
include adding the `WorkspacesLibUnitTests` project, implementing tests
for `AppUtils`, `JsonUtils`, and `PwaHelper`, and updating the build
configuration to include the new test project.
### Unit Tests Added:
* **`AppUtilsTests`**:
- Added comprehensive tests for methods such as `GetCurrentFolder`,
`IsEdge`, `IsChrome`, and `IsSteamGame` to validate their behavior under
various conditions.
* **`JsonUtilsTests`**:
- Implemented tests for reading and writing workspace data, including
scenarios for invalid JSON, non-existent files, and valid workspace
lists.
* **`PwaHelperTests`**:
- Added tests to ensure the stability of `PwaHelper` methods, such as
`GetEdgeAppId`, `GetChromeAppId`, and `SearchPwaName`, even with invalid
or empty inputs.
### Build System Updates:
* **New Test Project Integration**:
- Added the `WorkspacesLibUnitTests` project to the solution file
`PowerToys.sln` with appropriate dependencies.
- Updated build configurations to include the new test project for both
Debug and Release builds across architectures.

### Pipeline Adjustments:
* **Test Discovery**:
- Updated the pipeline configuration in
`.pipelines/v2/templates/job-build-project.yml` to discover the new
`WorkspacesLibUnitTests.dll` during test runs.

Few updates to the WinGet publish workflow action
- Use GitHub release event instead of manually making an API call to
GitHub API and then fetching the target release. The target release is
directly accessible via the event. The refactor is similar to the GitHub
action of
[microsoft/edit](https://github.com/microsoft/edit/blob/main/.github/workflows/winget.yml)
repo's workflow
- With the latest winget-create release, the preferred method for
providing the GitHub token in CI/CD environment is via the environment
variable `WINGET_CREATE_GITHUB_TOKEN`. Removed use of `--token` and
switched to environment variable. See https://aka.ms/winget-create-token
for details.
They made secure strings the default. Doing it this way maintains
compatibility with the version before and after the default changed.
This fixes symbol publication.

## Summary of the Pull Request
The `verifyNoticeMdAgainstNugetPackages.ps1` script previously only
reported "Notice.md does not match NuGet list." without providing any
details about which packages were different, making it difficult to
debug discrepancies.
## Changes Made
This enhancement adds detailed difference reporting when NuGet packages
don't match:
- **Extracts current package list from NOTICE.md** using regex pattern
matching
- **Shows packages missing from NOTICE.md** (highlighted in red)
- **Shows packages in NOTICE.md but not in generated list** (highlighted
in yellow)
- **Provides summary statistics** with package counts
- **Maintains backward compatibility** - all existing functionality
preserved
<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist
If there is no difference, the same behaviour.
If there is difference, here is the example:
## Edge Cases Handled
- **Missing NuGet section**: Shows warning and treats as empty package
list
- **Empty package lists**: Handles gracefully with appropriate counts
- **Matching lists**: No additional output (preserves existing behavior)
This enhancement significantly improves the debugging experience when
NuGet package verification fails by providing specific, actionable
information about which packages need attention.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Problem
-------------
We've observed multiple bug reports related to crashes with the
following exceptions:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xD0000701)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80263001)
The root cause of these crashes has been traced to the WPF framework,
specifically this line in WindowChromeWorker.cs:
3439f20fb8/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf/src/PresentationFramework/System/Windows/Shell/WindowChromeWorker.cs (L1005)
These crashes are not necessarily caused by PowerToys Run itself being
used, or even visible. However, users perceive them as Run-related
because the "Report problem UI" is triggered by our global exception
handler, surfacing the underlying WPF crash.
Fix
------------
This PR:
- Suppresses the launch of the "Report problem UI" for exceptions known
to be triggered by unstable platform conditions (such as COMExceptions
from WPF internals).
- Continues to log the exception to preserve diagnostic data.
This change ensures we:
- Avoid showing an UI when WPF framework itself is already having
problem to handling DWM composition changes.
This lets us auto-focus the first input on a `IFormContent`, if there's
only one `IContent` on the page.
This dramatically improves the usability for forms, since we'll
immediately put focus into them
Closes#38436
<!-- Let's say you wanted to add a hotkey to the Run command. And let's
say you wanted it to be Win+R. This lets you do that -->
We should apply the LLKH setting to all command hotkeys, not just the
global one.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds support for detecting missing video codecs during video
file preview, and displays a warning message to inform the user when the
required codec is not installed.
### Changes
- Added `GetMissingCodecAsync` to detect unsupported video formats using
`MediaEncodingProfile` and `CodecQuery`.
- If a required codec is missing, display a warning in the preview UI.
- Added localized string `MissingVideoCodec_WarningMessage`:
> "This video uses the {0} format, which isn't supported. Please install
the required codec to play it."
- Add Store Search

## Validation Steps Performed
To simulate a missing codec (e.g., AV1):
1. Check if the AV1 extension is installed:
```powershell
Get-AppxPackage -Name *AV1*
2. If installed, remove it:
```powershell
Get-AppxPackage -Name *AV1* | Remove-AppxPackage
3. Use Peek to preview a video encoded in AV1 format.
4. Confirm that a warning message is shown indicating the missing codec.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This change replaces the manual .lib reference with a proper project
reference to PowerRenameLib in the PowerRename.FuzzingTest project.
Previously, the project used a hardcoded path to link against
PowerRenameLib.lib, which caused build errors in Debug mode when the
.lib file had not yet been generated or the output path was incorrect.

This was especially noticable with the icons extension.
Turns out in #39051, when I was experimenting with getting AoT clean,
i accidentally called this twice. Then we actually commited that
straight up.
This PR reverts that. It also moves a similar case where we were
initializing all the tags on the UI thread. That's wrong too - we need
to fetch properties off the UI thread, then update the list on the UI
thread.
Closes nothing, I didn't file this yet.

Since we change the launch method by this PR #39269 , we will start cmdpal as admin too if powertoys run as admin.
The fix is leveraging explorer (which will not run as admin) to start the cmdpal
Moreover, without this fix, some of extension cannot be "loaded" when cmdpal run as admin, e.g. winget will be missing, and my own new extension developed by myself will not be loaded successful as well.
Strong-name signing embeds publisher identity into the signature of a
.NET assembly.
This is required if *any other* strong name signed project wants to take
a dependency on it.
To make this work, we need to delay-sign it with a public key (.snk
file)--e.g. say we are going to sign it, but not actually sign it--to
give it an identity and then later submit it to ESRP for final signing.
The snk file does not contain any private material.
Some minor changes were required to build properly:
- `InternalsVisibleTo` requires a PublicKeyToken, but we aren't using
it in the SDK build so it's fine to just leave it out.
- I had to mark a class `sealed` and I can only guess it's because
strong named assemblies have more guarantees?

## Summary of the Pull Request
The Command Palette allows users to create extensions with dashes in their names, which is invalid for C# namespaces. This causes projects to fail during build because the name cannot be used as a valid namespace.
## Changes
- Updated the validation regex in `NewExtensionForm.cs` to only allow valid C# identifiers
- Now only allows names starting with a letter or underscore, followed by letters, numbers, or underscores
- Explicitly prevents dashes, spaces, and other special characters
- Improved the error message to clearly explain the requirements for valid C# identifiers
## Before
Previously, the input only validated that no spaces were used:
```csharp
"regex": "^[^\\s]+$"
```
## After
Now the input properly validates for C# namespace compatibility:
```csharp
"regex": "^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"
```
This ensures that users cannot create extension projects with names that would fail to build.
## PR Checklist
- [ ] **Closes:** https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/38522
This will ensure that the command palette package is copied to the artifact directory.
If code signing was enabled, the final copied package will be the signed version.
Minor build rule rearranging was required to collect the command palette package
path for the staging step when signing was _disabled_. I did this solely so that we
could verify the results in CI.
This pull request adopts the unified versioning scheme used by Windows Terminal, Notepad, and hundreds of other internal and public projects that relied on "XES" or "PackageES".
It only does so for the command palette.
All command palette assets will be versioned according to the Major and Minor number in `src/modules/cmdpal/custom.props`. This includes DLLs, EXEs, NuGet packages and MSIX bundles.
This will ensure that all artifacts that we produce are versioned
properly:
| thing | version (ex.) |
|---------|-----------------|
| dll/exe | 0.2.2505.08001 |
| nupkg | 0.2.250508001 |
| appx | 0.2.3269.0 |
For reference, here's the version format:
### EXE, DLL, .NET Assembly
0.2.2505.08001
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### NuGet Package
0.2.250508001
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### AppX Package
0.2.01281.0 (the leading 0 will be removed)
^ ^ ^ ^^ ^
| | | || `-Contractually always zero (a waste)
| | | |`-Build # on that date
| | | `-Number of days in [base year]
| | `-Number of years since [base year]
| `-Minor
`-Major
[base year] = $(XesBaseYearForStoreVersion)
It is expected that the base year is changed every time the version
number is changed.
