Of the new PRs? I love all the hard work everyone is doing but Ahead of time compile which will let us trim / optimize the binary should really be amazing. I believe is the last needed set of the work to fully enable it. github.com/microsoft/Po...

Dev friends who use PowerToys! We need your help!

We have a potential fix for the PT Run COMException (0xD0000701) error at github.com/microsoft/Po... but we can't repro it ourselves.

Can folks test out the PR and see if the failure still occurs? πŸ™
