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​

Screen Ruler​

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

Shortcut Guide​

Development​
