After installing, open PowerToys Command Palette and run "Reload Command Palette Extension".
What's new in 0.2.4.0
### Changed - Much smaller Command Palette package: Release MSIX is roughly ~30 MB after trim (down from ~126 MB) by dropping WinForms and stripping unused framework code, so installs and updates download less. - Snappier search and list refresh by cutting allocations on hot paths (task search tokens, PATH lookups, display text, health-check parsing). - Faster workspace suggestions and home-row enrichment with less redundant work while you browse and launch. - Quicker terminal profile icon loading via Windows Terminal fragment discovery, icon resizing, and skip-reparse when fragment files have not changed. - Smoother status and branch-picker refresh when drives come back online or a load fails (retryable errors, no stuck duplicate loads). ### Fixed - Profile icons from Windows Terminal fragments (including relative paths and fragment `updates`) resolve more reliably. - Blank `.ico` sources are handled without breaking valid PNG icons. - Offline or repaired workspace folders re-probe after a short TTL instead of staying stuck until restart.
