• Check Color Picker logs for errors

Image Resizer

• Disable the Image Resizer and check that Resize images is absent in the context menu

• Enable the Image Resizer and check that Resize images is present in the context menu

• Remove one image size and add a custom image size. Open the Image Resize window from the context menu and verify that changes are populated

• Resize one image

• Resize multiple images

• Open the image resizer to resize a .gif file and verify the "Gif files with animations may not be correctly resized." warning appears.

• Resize images with Fill option

• Resize images with Fit option

• Resize images with Stretch option

• Resize images using dimension: Centimeters

• Resize images using dimension: Inches

• Uncheck Ignore the orientation of pictures and verify that swapped width and height will actually resize a picture if the width is not equal to the height

Keyboard Manager

UI Validation:

• In Remap keys, add and remove rows to validate those buttons. While the blank rows are present, pressing the OK button should result in a warning dialog that some mappings are invalid.
• Using only the Type buttons, for both the remap windows, try adding keys/shortcuts in all the columns. The right-side column in both windows should accept both keys and shortcuts, while the left-side column will accept only keys or only shortcuts for Remap keys and Remap shortcuts respectively. Validate that the Hold Enter and Esc accessibility features work as expected.
• Using the drop downs try to add key to key, key to shortcut, shortcut to key and shortcut to shortcut remapping and ensure that you are able to select remapping both by using mouse and by keyboard navigation.
• Validate that remapping can be saved by pressing the OK button and re-opening the windows loads existing remapping.

Remapping Validation:

For all the remapping below, try pressing and releasing the remapped key/shortcut and pressing and holding it. Try different behaviors like releasing the modifier key before the action key and vice versa.

• Test key to key remapping
  • A->B
  • Ctrl->A
  • A->Ctrl
  • Win->B (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
  • B->Win (make sure Start menu doesn't appear accidentally)
  • A->Disable
  • Win->Disable
• Test key to shortcut remapping
  • A->Ctrl+V
  • B->Win+A
• Test shortcut to shortcut remapping
  • Ctrl+A->Ctrl+V
  • Win+A->Ctrl+V
  • Ctrl+V->Win+A
  • Win+A->Win+F
• Test shortcut to key remapping
  • Ctrl+A->B
  • Ctrl+A->Win
  • Win+A->B

• Test app-specific remaps
  • Similar remaps to above with Edge (entered as msedge), VSCode (entered as code) and cmd. For cmd try admin and non-admin (requires PT to run as admin)
  • Try some cases where focus is lost due to the shortcut. Example remapping to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4

• Test switching between remapping while holding down modifiers - Eg. Ctrl+D->Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E->Ctrl+V, hold Ctrl and press D followed by E. Should select all and paste over it in a text editor. Similar steps for Windows key shortcuts.

Shortcut Guide

• Run PowerToys as user:
  • Verify Win + Shift + / opens the guide
  • Change the hotkey to a different shortcut (e.g. Win + /) and verify it works
  • Set Shortcut Guide to start with a Windows key press and verify it works.
• Restore the Win + Shift + / hotkey.
  • Open the guide and close it pressing Esc
  • Open the guide and close it pressing and releasing the Win key
• With PowerToys running as a user, open an elevated app and keep it on foreground:
  • Verify Win + Shift + / opens the guide
  • Verify some of the shortcuts shown in the guide work and the guide is closed when pressed

Always on Top

• Pin/unpin a window, verify it's topmost/not topmost.
• Pin/unpin a window, verify the border appeared/disappeared.
• Switch virtual desktop, verify border doesn't show up on another desktop.
• Minimize and maximize pinned window, verify the border looks as usual.
• Change border color and thickness.
• Verify if sound is played according to the sound setting.
• Exclude app, try to pin it.
• Exclude already pinned app, verify it was unpinned.
• Try to pin the app in the Game Mode.

Screen Ruler

• Enable Screen Ruler. Then:

  • Press the activation shortcut and verify the toolbar appears.
  • Press the activation shortcut again and verify the toolbar disappears.
  • Disable Screen Ruler and verify that the activation shortuct no longer activates the utility.
  • Enable Screen Ruler and press the activation shortcut and verify the toolbar appears.
  • Select the close button in the toolbar and verify it closes the utility.

• With Screen Ruler enabled and activated:

  • Use the Bounds utility to measure a zone by dragging with left-click. Verify right click dismisses the utility and that the measurement was copied into the clipboard.
  • Use the Spacing utility to measure something and verify that left-click copies the measurement to the clipboard. Verify that right-click dismisses the utility.
  • Use the Horizontal Spacing utility to measure something and verify that left-click copies the measurement to the clipboard. Verify that right-click dismisses the utility.
  • Use the Vertical Spacing utility to measure something and verify that left-click copies the measurement to the clipboard. Verify that right-click dismisses the utility.
  • While using a Spacing utility, verify that using the mouse scroll wheel will adjust pixel color tolerance while measuring.
  • Open mspaint and draw 1px-thick straight line, also click with a pencil to draw a single pixel. In any Spacing mode, verify that one of line's dimension is 1, and pixel's dimensions are 1x1.

• In a multi-monitor setup with different dpis on each monitor:

  • Verify that the utilities work well on each monitor, with continuous mode on and off.
  • Without any window opened and a solid color as your background, verify the horizontal spacing matches the monitor's pixel width.
  • Move your mouse back and forth around the edge of two monitors really quickly in each mode - verify nothing is broken.

• Test the different settings and verify they are applied:

  • Exclude some apps. Verify that Quick Accent is not activated for them.

Hosts File Editor

• Launch Host File Editor:
  • Verify the application exits if "Quit" is clicked on the initial warning.
  • Launch Host File Editor again and click "Accept". The module should not close. Open the hosts file (%WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc) in a text editor that auto-refreshes so you can see the changes applied by the editor in real time. (VSCode is an editor like this, for example)
  • Enable and disable lines and verify they are applied to the file.
  • Add a new entry and verify it's applied.
  • Try to filter for lines and verify you can find them.
  • Click the "Open hosts file" button and verify it opens in your default editor. (likely Notepad)
