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.

Installation and upgrade

This release continues to provide separate self-contained packages for x86, x64, and ARM64 Windows. The .NET Desktop Runtime does not need to be installed separately.

For a new WinGet-managed installation:

winget install --id hwtnb.SylphyHornPlus --exact

To update:

winget upgrade --id hwtnb.SylphyHornPlus --exact

When updating a manually extracted copy, exit SylphyHornPlus and replace the entire extracted application folder.

Notes

Startup diagnostics are stored locally in %LocalAppData%\hwtnb.net\SylphyHornPlus\StartupTrace. The newest 20 logs are retained and are not uploaded automatically.
