5.5.4

🆕 Maintenance Update

• Fixed an issue where certain motherboard chipsets were not parsed correctly due to overly strict alphanumeric filtering.
• Fixed a minor alignment issue on the System Information page where the storage type header would leave a visual gap in certain localizations due to text length differences.
• Fixed explorer restart causing black screen in some cases by adding shell death check before relaunch, taskbar recovery detection and fallback launch if Shell_TrayWnd fails to appear.
• Fixed defender warning notification incorrectly shown on re-enable during import, now only triggered when disabling.
• Fixed utility crash when re-enabling Windows Defender caused by incorrect command-line and NSudo arguments.
• Fixed handle leaks and potential infinite wait loops when acquiring TrustedInstaller privileges.
• Fixed critical bugs in the TakingOwnership class regarding invalid SIDs, incomplete privilege revocation, and unhandled API responses.
• Fixed registry parameters and privilege configurations that prevented dmwappushservice and diagsvc from starting properly.
• Fixed an issue that could cause crashes during the hosts file restoration from backups.
• Added navigation view cache to avoid recreating page instances on every navigation.
• Added explicit icon size support to IconExtractProvider to accurately extract context-specific folder graphics (such as the distinct blue OneDrive folder or specific colored user folders), as Windows provides completely different icon designs within the same resource depending on the requested size.
• Added new tools available for download on the Toolset page: ZenTimings, RawAccel, HIDUSBF, BatteryInfoView, CapFrameX, Cinebench, ThrottleStop, FurMark 2.
• Added tag-based filtering and text search to the Toolset page, allowing for quicker discovery of specific utilities.
• Improved the visual layout and responsive behavior of the Toolset and Addons pages, along with minor styling refinements to standard input controls.
• Improved the smoothness and responsiveness of UI animations across the settings panel, toggle controls, and notification windows by pre-rendering the settings panel layout on launch to eliminate initial slide-in stutter, dispatching frame transitions at render priority, and switching toggle components to hardware-accelerated transforms.
• Improved stability with better process validation, session-aware winlogon impersonation and privilege escalation before token duplication.
• Improved package scanning and uninstallation by processing both user data and system-wide AppxAllUserStore keys.
• Updated registry calls to run asynchronously in Apply methods, removing blocking Task.Run(...).GetAwaiter().GetResult() pattern that caused UI thread deadlocks.
• Updated Hungarian localization (#135), contributed by @JohnFowler58.
• Updated the description of tablet services (#134). These run manually by default. Completely disabling them causes the modern Power settings to crash because of an OS flaw. The page queries SensrSvc and SensorService for adaptive brightness and screen rotation and crashes when they fail to respond. Actual power management remains unaffected and works perfectly via the classic Control Panel.
• Updated description block to centralize hover and state logic via a single ContentSource property, eliminating duplicated event handling across view pages.
• Updated the tweaks for hiding "This PC" folders and "3D Objects" by combining them into a single dropdown menu with native icons, allowing you to individually hide them rather than removing all at once.
