##### Highlights

- **Settings**: Restored the General page after a WinUI style mismatch prevented it from loading.
- **Quick Accent**: Prevented stale or blank first frames by revealing the accent bar only after its composition update completes.
- **Settings and Workspaces**: Made module launches resolve the active PowerToys installation more reliably without depending first on protocol registration.
- **Quality**: Expanded modern UI automation across Image Resizer, Peek, File Explorer add-ons, and File Locksmith.
