Highlights

  • Shortcut Guide: Made Win+Shift+/ reliably open the full guide independently of Windows-key hold settings and remain visible after Win is released.
  • File Explorer: Preserved transparent backgrounds in SVG thumbnails instead of rendering them black.
  • Screen Ruler: Migrated legacy measurement-unit settings to prevent Settings from crashing when leaving the Screen Ruler page.
  • Window Hopper: Moved the New badges from Shortcut Guide to Window Hopper across Settings and the welcome experience.

Advanced Paste

  • Added regression coverage to keep custom actions compatible with OpenAI models that do not support reasoning-effort settings in #49867 by @Sthitadhi1.

File Explorer

  • Preserved transparent SVG thumbnail backgrounds and fixed an image-resize resource leak in #49301 by @pedrolamas.

PowerToys Run

  • Added PoetSearch to the third-party plugin list for searching classical Chinese poetry in #49946 by @Greyaircraft.

Screen Ruler

  • Migrated legacy measurement-unit values to valid settings, preventing Settings from crashing when navigating away from Screen Ruler in #49898.

Shortcut Guide

  • Separated regular-hotkey activation from Windows-key hold activation, so Win+Shift+/ reliably opens the full guide and stays visible after Win is released in #50000 by @LegendaryBlair.

Window Hopper

  • Moved the New badges from Shortcut Guide to Window Hopper throughout Settings and the welcome experience in #49995.

Development
