1.8.8

WinAppSDK 1.8.8 is the latest stable servicing release for 1.8, focused on reliability and developer-experience fixes across XAML, package management, Windows AI, and the build-time NuGet tooling.

Bug fixes:

Bug Fix Runtime Compatibility Change
Fixed an issue where windowed popup content opened in a XAML Island did not respect OverrideScale, causing content to appear oversized and clipped (microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#​11000). Popup_WindowedPopupOverrideScale
Fixed an ACCESS_VIOLATION crash in RenderTargetBitmap.RenderAsync that occurred when the target element left the visual tree (for example, a popup closing) before the capture completed. RTB_CancelRenderOnTreeLeave
Fixed a potential crash in package management when a package was uninstalled prior to being processed. PackageManager_FixCrash
Fixed an issue where GetReadyState could return incorrect error codes when required Windows AI packages were not yet deployed. The API now correctly reports NotReady, improving diagnostic clarity and reducing false-positive failure signals in telemetry. ModelInitialization_GetReadyStateAvailabilityGuard
Improved internal performance diagnostics for LanguageModel.GenerateResponseAsync to better identify sources of latency before the first token is returned. LanguageModelInsights_GetPartialResultLatency
Fixed a fail-fast crash caused by re-entrant dispatch during cross-apartment COM release operations in UIAffinityReleaseQueue::DoCleanup. UIAffinityReleaseQueue_PauseDispatchDuringCleanup
Fixed an issue where Microsoft.Windows.Workloads.dll failed to load on Windows builds prior to 22000 due to static imports of Dynamic Dependencies APIs unavailable on those OS versions. The functions are now resolved dynamically; failures on unsupported OS versions surface as a normal HRESULT instead of a loader error dialog. PackageDependency_ResolveDynamically
Fixed an issue where XAML compiler errors were silently lost when using dotnet build, showing only MSB3073: exited with code 1 instead of the actual error messages (microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#​9813). N/A (build-time tooling change)
Fixed a design issue in the WinAppSDK NuGet .targets files where %(PreprocessorDefinitions) references inside MSBuild <Target> blocks triggered task batching, causing the same auto-initializer source file to be added to ClCompile multiple times and producing duplicate .obj outputs (MSB8027 / LNK4042 warnings). Definitions are now set via <ItemDefinitionGroup>. An opt-out property (WindowsAppSDK_Arm64EcCompilerWorkaround) is included for ARM64EC+LTCG builds (microsoft/WindowsAppSDK#​5395). N/A (build .targets change)

1.8.0

Windows App SDK 1.8.0 (1.8.250907003)

WinAppSDK 1.8.0 is the latest stable version of WinAppSDK providing new features and improvements to the platform.

Whats new in WinAppSDK 1.8.0:

  • The new Decimal support offers a high-precision base-10 numeric data type. It is structured as a 96-bit (12-byte) unsigned integer, scaled by a variable power of 10, allowing for precise representation of decimal values.
  • The Windows App SDK NuGet package has been converted to a NuGet metapackage. Each component contributing to the Windows App SDK is now a component NuGet package and is listed as a dependency by the metapackage. This allows developers to choose either the metapackage or select specific component packages for their applications.
  • The MSIX publishing support has been factored into a standalone nuget package, which can be independently maintained and consumed by Windows App SDK and other projects.
  • Prompt Size Limit Reporting allows applications to determine if an input exceeds the allowable size for a Text Summarizer call. If the input is too large, the API returns an index indicating the current limit, enabling developers to adjust the input accordingly.
  • Text Rewriter Tone enables text rewriting with specific tones. Choosing between Casual, Formal, and General options.
  • Phi Silica now has a Summarize Conversation feature that allows you to summarize what people have said over an email, chat, or thread.
  • Enables developers to specify the desired output language for conversation summarization. This allows applications to generate summaries in a targeted language, enhancing localization, and user experience.
  • Object Erase can be used to remove objects from images. The model takes both an image and a greyscale mask indicating the object to be removed, erases the masked area from the image, and replaces the erased area with the image background.
  • The Microsoft.Windows.Storage.Pickers API in the Windows App SDK provides a modernized file and folder picker experience for desktop applications. This API is based on the existing Windows.Storage.Pickers API design, but with key improvements for desktop scenarios.
  • Prior to WinAppSDK 1.8, packaged apps running in the AppContainer did not require the packageManagement capability, due to a DeploymentManager auto-initialization issue. That issue has now been resolved, and in turn, the packageManagement capability is now required for AppContainer-based apps.
  • The experimental WinML APIs have been removed from this release and will be included in a future release.

The following bugs have been fixed:

  • #​10572 Using App Window.Titlebar in child window causes main window hover UI to flicker badly
  • #​10464 Splitbutton Incorrect height
  • #​10524 TabViewItem Header Text has uneven padding when TabWidthMode="SizeToContent"
  • Users cannot use the Album and other details pages when sidebar (navigation view is collapsed
  • TabView: improper usage of GetFocusedElement
  • TabView: RequestClosedTab method

WinAppSDK 1.7.2 is the latest stable version of WinAppSDK providing new features and improvements to the platform. WinAppSDK 1.7.2 introduces exciting new features designed to bring artificial intelligence (AI) to your products with the power of Phi Silica and Windows AI APIs.

Whats new in WinAppSDK 1.7.2:

  • Phi Silica, Microsoft's most powerful NPU-tuned local language model, you can specify it to perform common tasks like summarizing a piece of text, rewriting a piece of text for clarity, and converting text to a table format.
  • Image Description APIs enable the generation of textual descriptions of images.
  • Text recognition, also known as optical character recognition (OCR), detects and extracts text within images, converting it into machine-readable character streams.
  • The 'ImageScaler' APIs can increase the sharpness and clarity of an image and upscale the image by up to 8x its original resolution.
  • The Image Segmentation APIs allow for the identification of specific objects within an image. By inputting an image and a "hints" object, the model returns a mask of the identified object.
  • ApplicationData.MachineFolder is now easier to use on Windows >=10.0.26100.0 (Ge). Windows will create the Machine folder when a package manifesting opt-in support is added to a system if WinAppSDK 1.7.2 is present on the system.

This release also includes the following Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed PackageDeploymentManager telemetry to properly capture completion status. For more info, see GitHub issue #​5296. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: N/A)
  • Fixed a crash when using pen input on an x86 app. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: InputStateManager_PenInputCrashX86)
  • Fixed a potential crash if the window is already destroyed when WinUI is attempting to initialize for scrolling. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: ActivateDirectManipulationManager_CheckCanInit)
  • Fixed the WINDOWSAPPSDK_RELEASE_PATCH define and Microsoft::WindowsAppSDK::Release::Patch values in WindowsAppSDK-VersionInfo.h to not always be 0. The define is now the yymmdd date of the build, and the Patch value is the mmdd date. This change provides better runtime information on the version being used without changing any variable sizes or the version scheme. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: N/A, header change)
  • Fixed a potential issue in the Bootstrapper if it is used to load a 1.6 or earlier version of WinAppSDK. For more info, see GitHub issue #​5349. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: N/A)
  • Fixed an issue where using MSBuild to build a single-project app could incorrectly fail with a build error if it didn't have a correct launchSettings.json. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: N/A, build .targets change)
  • Improved the performance of rendering the first frame on application launch. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: DwmCoreI_OptimizeFirstFrameLatency)

1.7.1

Windows App SDK 1.7.1 (1.7.250401001)

WinAppSDK 1.7.1 is the latest stable version of WinAppSDK providing new features and improvements to the platform.

Whats new in WinAppSDK 1.7.1:

  • Improved the telemetry for failure scenarios in WindowsAppRuntimeInstall-<arch>.exe. For more info, see GitHub issue #​5289. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: N/A for this installer change)
  • Fixed an issue where pointer input would stop working when using arrow keys at the same time. For more info, see GitHub issue #​10126. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixStuckPointerInputQueue)
  • Fixed an issue where apps in remote desktop stop responding to pointer input. For more info, see GitHub issue #​10009. (This is the same fix as the pointer input plus arrow keys fix, due to remote desktop automatically sending some key input during the switch away and back.) (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixStuckPointerInputQueue)
  • Fixed a potential crash trying to restore focus if a window activation event is delivered for a window which is closing. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixWindowCloseFocusCrash)
  • Fixed a performance regression introduced in WinAppSDK 1.6 due to WinUI binaries missing some linker optimizations. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: N/A, changed linker options)
  • Fixed a potential crash if ProgressBar::SetProgressBarIndicatorWidth is called on a ProgressBar which is not in the tree. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixSetProgressBarIndicatorWidthCrash)
  • Fixed a potential crash caused by CPopup::EnsureBridgeClosed sometimes triggering reentrancy. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixPopupClosingReentrancyCrash)
  • Fixed a potential crash when closing a popup due to CUIElement::FlushPendingKeepVisibleOperations using a null children collection. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixPopupUnloadingCrash)
  • Fixed PackageDeploymentManager.EnsurePackage*Ready to ensure version supersedence. For more info, see GitHub issue #​5191. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: EnsurePackageReadyVersionSupercedence)
  • Fixed a potential crash caused by WebView2::UpdateCoreWebViewVisibility sometimes triggering reentrancy. For more info, see GitHub issue #​10305. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixWebViewVisibilityReentrancyCrash)
  • Fixed an issue where app UI sometimes permanently freezes and can stop rendering due to the DispatcherQueue getting stuck. (RuntimeCompatibilityChange: FixRandomUIFreezeInDispatcher)

Note: Windows Copilot Runtime APIs are not included this release. To experiment with these APIs, please continue to use the 1.7-experimental3 release and share your feedback!

Windows App SDK 1.7.0 (1.7.25031001)

WinAppSDK 1.7.0 is the latest stable version of WinAppSDK providing new features and improvements to the platform.

Whats new in WinAppSDK 1.7.0:

  • New Microsoft.UI.Windowing.AppWindow APIs make it easier to control your app windows to create a great experience. New capabilities include using:
    • SetTaskBarIcon and SetTitleBarIcon to independently set the taskbar and titlebar icons
    • AppWindowTitleBar.PreferredTheme to set the light/dark theme of the titlebar
    • using new properties like OverlappedPresenter.PreferredMinimumWidth
    • OverlappedPresenter.PreferredMaximumHeight to set a minimum or maximum width or height for the window.
  • New Microsoft.Windows.Media.Capture.CameraCaptureUI API to WinAppSDK to provide a streamlined solution with feature parity, now supporting WindowID in the constructor for enhanced desktop compatibility.
  • New OAuth2Manager API provides a streamlined solution for web authentication, offering OAuth 2.0 capabilities with full feature parity across all Windows platforms supported by Windows App SDK.
  • New BackgroundTaskBuilder API provides WinAppSDK dependent apps the ability to directly register the full trust COM components with background tasks, removing the need to implement a workaround.
  • TitleBar control makes it much easier to create a great, customizable titlebar for your app.
  • RichEditBox now supports MathML, via RichEditTextDocument.SetMathMode and RichEditTextDocument.SetMathML.
  • Windows App SDK's Dynamic Dependencies APIs delegate all calls to Windows 11's implementation when running on >= Windows 11 24H2 (10.0.26100.0) providing improved performance and robustness.
  • Updates in the Microsoft.UI.Content namespace introduce several significant enhancements and new features aimed at improving the functionality and interoperability of the ContentIsland APIs.
    • DesktopPopupSiteBridge: Enables hosting a ContentIsland in the environment of a Win32 window with WS_POPUP style.
    • ChildSiteLink: Allows a parent ContentIsland to host a nested child ContentIsland, providing a seamless partitioning of the rendering surface without user experience seams.
    • DesktopAttachedSiteBridge: Attaches to an existing Win32 window instead of creating a new one, designed to host a ContentIsland with Windows.UI.Composition.Visuals at the root of the Win32 window hierarchy, ensuring full control over Win32-based input processing and accessibility.
    • Enhanced rendering and input synchronization
    • ContentIslands with Windows.UI.Composition.Visuals
  • New RuntimeCompatibilityOptions support will allow more control over how servicing changes affect apps. For more info, see GitHub #​4966.
  • A new ReleaseInfo API provides easy access to the version of the Windows App SDK Runtime in use. For more info, see GitHub #​2893.
  • Note: Windows Copilot Runtime APIs are not included this release. To experiment with these APIs, please continue to use the 1.7-experimental3 release and share your feedback!
