Highlights
- Improved responsiveness during virtual desktop switching by moving notification window rendering off the main UI thread.
- Hardened startup after user sign-in by deferring virtual desktop initialization until the Windows shell is ready, then enabling global hooks and the tray UI only after initialization succeeds.
- Prevented clearing a per-desktop wallpaper path from changing the Windows background mode.
- Migrated the MVVM implementation from Livet to CommunityToolkit.Mvvm and removed the Livet runtime dependencies.
- Removed obsolete AppX/Desktop Bridge support and the unused Application Insights package.
- Added local startup-phase diagnostics to help investigate startup failures.
