Highlights

  • Command Palette: Added Update and restart and Update and shut down actions when Windows Update is waiting for a reboot.
  • Command Palette: Improved fallback ranking so exact title matches appear above unrelated fuzzy results.
  • Image Resizer: Made CLI input handling stricter and more diagnosable while preventing invalid or duplicate work.
  • Color Picker: Fixed incorrect sampling intervals when displays report a default refresh-rate sentinel.
  • ZoomIt: Prevented recording from hanging when audio initialization fails or remains in progress.

Command Palette

  • Added Update and restart and Update and shut down system commands that appear only when Windows Update is waiting for a reboot in #49437 by @Subhro-ai.
  • Ranked global fallback actions by how well their titles match the query, allowing exact matches such as Reload to outrank unrelated fuzzy results in #49983.

Color Picker

  • Kept cursor sampling responsive when a display reports its hardware-default refresh rate as 0 or 1 in #49973.

Image Resizer

  • Improved CLI validation and diagnostics for options, paths, dimensions, presets, wildcards, pipes, and duplicate inputs while preserving GUI and context-menu compatibility in #49854.

ZoomIt

  • Prevented a recording deadlock by safely completing or disposing in-progress audio initialization after failures in #49912 by @foxmsft.

Development

  • Added an autonomous, draft-only preview release workflow with exact build identity, semantic deltas, asset validation, and post-upload verification in #49797 by @LegendaryBlair.
  • Removed unused shared UI dependencies and unreachable managed settings aliases while retaining command-line compatibility routes in #49895.
