Highlights

  • Command Palette: Prevented clicks on empty or non-focusable content from moving focus outside the shell and breaking keyboard shortcuts.
  • Installer: Added missing CLI and helper processes to setup cleanup so active binaries do not block updates.
  • Environment Variables: Added end-to-end coverage for user variables, profiles, overrides, PATH editing, and persistence.
  • Crop And Lock: Added end-to-end coverage for thumbnail and reparent modes with unpackaged and packaged applications.

Command Palette

  • Prevented ShellPage from losing focus when empty space or non-focusable content is clicked, preserving the search caret and keyboard shortcuts in #50448 by @jiripolasek.

Installer

  • Added missing CLI and helper executables to the process termination list and made executable matching case-insensitive in #50452.

General

  • Added recognition for the Shortcut Guide v2 contribution to the PowerToys community page in #50419 by @noraa-junker.

Development

  • Added six Environment Variables end-to-end scenarios covering user-variable management, profiles, overrides, PATH editing, persistence, and state recovery in #50429.
  • Added the first Crop And Lock end-to-end suite, covering thumbnail and reparent modes, packaged applications, module lifecycle, and selection cancellation in #50431.
