-# PowerToys – Copilot guide (concise)
-
-This is the top-level guide for AI changes. Keep edits small, follow existing patterns, and cite exact paths in PRs.
-
-Repo map (1‑line per area)
- Core apps: `src/runner/**` (tray/loader), `src/settings-ui/**` (Settings app)
- Shared libs: `src/common/**`
- Modules: `src/modules/*` (one per utility; Command Palette in `src/modules/cmdpal/**`)
- Build tools/docs: `tools/**`, `doc/devdocs/**`
-
-Build and test (defaults)
- Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2022 17.4+, minimal Windows 10 1803+.
- Build discipline:
-  - One terminal per operation (build → test). Don’t switch/open new ones mid-flow.
-  - After making changes, `cd` to the project folder that changed (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`).
-  - Use script(s) to build, synchronously block and wait in foreground for it to finish: `tools/build/build.ps1|.cmd` (current folder), `build-essentials.*` (once per brand new build for missing nuget packages)
-  - Treat build **exit code 0** as success; any non-zero exit code is a failure, have Copilot read the errors log in the build folder (e.g., `build.*.*.errors.log`) and surface problems.
-  - Don’t start tests or launch Runner until the previous step succeeded.
- Tests (fast + targeted):
-  - Find the test project by product code prefix (e.g., FancyZones, AdvancedPaste). Look for a sibling folder or 1–2 levels up named like `<Product>*UnitTests` or `<Product>*UITests`.
-  - Build the test project, wait for **exit**, then run only those tests via VS Test Explorer or `vstest.console.exe` with filters. Avoid `dotnet test` in this repo.
-  - Add/adjust tests when changing behavior; if skipped, state why (e.g., comment-only, string rename).
-
-Pull requests (expectations)
- Atomic: one logical change; no drive‑by refactors.
- Describe: problem / approach / risk / test evidence.
- List: touched paths if not obvious.
-
-When to ask for clarification
- Ambiguous spec after scanning relevant docs (see below).
- Cross-module impact (shared enum/struct) not clear.
- Security / elevation / installer changes.
-
-Logging (use existing stacks)
- C++: `src/common/logger/**` (`Logger::info|warn|error|debug`). Keep hot paths quiet (hooks, tight loops).
- C#: `ManagedCommon.Logger` (`LogInfo|LogWarning|LogError|LogDebug|LogTrace`). Some UIs use injected `ILogger` via `LoggerInstance.Logger`.
-
-Docs to consult
- `tools/build/BUILD-GUIDELINES.md`
- `doc/devdocs/core/architecture.md`, `doc/devdocs/core/runner.md`, `doc/devdocs/core/settings/readme.md`, `doc/devdocs/modules/readme.md`
-
-Done checklist (self review before finishing)
- Build clean? Tests updated/passed? No unintended formatting? Any new dependency? Documented skips?

-### 0.93 - Aug 2025 Update
+### 0.94 - Sep 2025 Update

 In this release, we focused on new features, stability, optimization improvements, and automation.

+For an in-depth look at the latest changes, visit the [release blog](https://aka.ms/powertoys-releaseblog).
+
 **✨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.
+ - PowerToys Settings added a Settings search with fuzzy matching, suggestions, a results page, and UX polish to make finding options faster.
+ - A comprehensive hotkey conflict detection system was introduced in Settings to surface and help resolve conflicting shortcuts. Note that the default hotkey settings (Win+Ctrl+Shift+T, Win+Ctrl+V, Win+Ctrl+T, Win+Shift+T) may overlap with existing Windows system shortcuts. This is expected. You can resolve the conflict by assigning different hotkeys.
+ - Mouse Utilities added a “Gliding cursor” accessibility feature to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs for single‑button cursor movement and clicking. Thanks [@mikehall-ms](https://github.com/mikehall-ms)!
+ - The installer was upgraded to WiX 5 after WiX 3 reached end-of-life; this move improved installer security, reliability, and community support.
+ - Tons of bug fixes and improvements for Command Palette, including visual updates and new support for filters on ListPages (handy for extension developers).
+ - Hosts Editor now has a “No leading spaces” option so active host entries can start at column 0 even if others are disabled. Thanks [@mohammed-saalim](https://github.com/mohammed-saalim)!
+ - Context menu registration was moved from the installer to runtime to avoid loading disabled modules (runtime registrations).
+ - Quick Accent now supports Maltese, and frequently used accents appear first (and are remembered across sessions). Thanks [@rovercoder](https://github.com/rovercoder)! [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!

-# Common – shared libraries guidance (concise)
-
-Scope
- Logging, IPC, settings, DPI, telemetry, utilities consumed by multiple modules.
-
-Guidelines
- Avoid breaking public headers/APIs; if changed, search & update all callers.
- Coordinate ABI-impacting struct/class layout changes; keep binary compatibility.
- Watch perf in hot paths (hooks, timers, serialization); avoid avoidable allocations.
- Ask before adding third‑party deps or changing serialization formats.
-
-Acceptance
- No unintended ABI breaks, no noisy logs, new non-obvious symbols briefly commented.

Jiří Polášek	74b6140911	CmdPal: Make sure fallback items have icons visible in Settings window (#41427 ) ## Summary of the Pull Request This PR ensures that fallback items consistently display an icon in Settings window: - Adds a new `InitialIcon` property to `TopLevelViewModel` to store the first non-empty icon received. - Uses `InitialIcon` in the extension settings page when listing fallback items belonging to an extension. - Sets initial icons in the constructor for fallback items that were not previously initialized: - Date & Time extension - System Commands extension - The Windows Settings extension had its icon initially set, but it was cleared when the item was updated for an empty search query. By persisting the initial icon, subsequent updates no longer affect how the fallback item is represented in Settings. This change is considered a hotfix for the current state. The ideal long-term solution would be to declare the `DisplayIcon` on fallback item explicitly, similar to `DisplayTitle`. Pictures!
