Dark mode

Light mode

> [!NOTE] > You can revert to the old color scheme used by the status bar and the panels in the Personalization settings: >  - You can now report Store logo asset preview issues from the AppX package information dialog:

- The OneDrive folder exclusion tool now supports excluding user SkyDrive folders - You can now export Windows images to new files - The program can now clean up mount points on closure (as an option) and on-demand:

> [!NOTE] > This operation can take a VERY long time, so the option is not enabled by default - When opening a File Explorer window to select a file, the program will now do that instead of just opening the directory the file is in - Internal errors are no longer shown on a generic dialog. Instead, they are now displayed in a dedicated window:

> [!NOTE] > This window copies the error information to the clipboard and lets you quickly create a new issue on this repository. Also, basic machine information is gathered to help isolate an issue to a specific hardware or software configuration. This information contains the following: > > - **Machine information:** computer manufacturer and model, BIOS name and description, and [System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)](https://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios) version > - **Operating system information:** operating system name, version, platform, and whether it is a 64-bit installation > - **Processor information:** processor name, manufacturer, and family ([WMI type](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cimwin32prov/win32-processor)) > > No user information is gathered - The App Installer downloader now shows the download URL, the download speed, and the estimated time remaining for the transfer:

- **All information dialogs have received Search capabilities**

> [!TIP] > In the driver information dialog, begin your search query with `og:` to search for drivers based on their original file names! - Video playback support has been added for tutorial videos > [!NOTE] > To experience video playback, you must set Internet Explorer browser emulation settings for DISMTools. The program will do it automatically, but you can always merge `DT_IEConfig.reg` into your system.

This helper supports the following additional features: - Serviceability tests that are run immediately after applying the Windows image - Multi-boot scenarios

An intermediary step in the OS installer

> [!NOTE] > The [Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install), plus the Windows PE plugin, are required for this function to work - The pop-up version of the mounted image manager can now be closed by pressing the Esc key - Encrypted AppX packages (`.eappx`, `.eappxbundle`, `.emsix` and `.emsixbundle`) can now be added when managing the active installation:
