Mike Griese	c9656754bd	CmdPal: fix a perf regression loading pages (#39415 ) 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.	2025-05-16 10:47:44 -05:00

What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request 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.	2025-05-15 16:47:40 -05:00
Dustin L. Howett	898e7c6352	build: strong name sign the Extension Toolkit (#39469 ) 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?	2025-05-15 16:47:03 -05:00
