- Start-WinUtilJob owns busy state, progress, taskbar, logging and errors - Write-WinUtilJobProgress reports from a job without UI checks in the body - Post UI updates instead of waiting on the dispatcher for each one - Move Invoke-WPFInstall onto it as the first workflow
- Uninstall, AppX install, Features, OOSU and installed detection - Drop the per workflow busy flag, progress, taskbar and error handling - Rework their tests to check the job and its body instead of runspace internals
main.ps1 now only manages the run: it creates a dedicated STA runspace for the window, waits for it, and reports whatever the interface thread failed with. The interface itself moved into Start-WinUtilUserInterface, so the thread that owns the window does nothing but paint and dispatch. - New-WinUtilSessionState builds one starting point for both the interface runspace and the worker pool, carrying $sync, the compiled script globals and every WinUtil function. The pool previously copied only functions matching winutil|WPF, which is not enough for a runspace that has to build a tab. - Invoke-WPFUIThread hands work to the interface runspace as body text plus parameters instead of marshalling a scriptblock. A scriptblock keeps the session state it was written in; running one across runspaces loses the caller's variables on an async post and costs roughly twenty times as much per command, which turned a checkbox refresh into a multi-minute freeze. - Both helpers stop at a shut-down dispatcher, so a job that outlives the window finishes quietly.
Tweaks, undo, AppX removal and the five Win11 Creator workflows now go through Start-WinUtilJob like the install workflows already did. That removes the five hand-built STA runspaces and the function-definition injection the ISO code needed to reach its own helpers. - One busy flag: $sync.ActiveJob replaces ProcessRunning and Win11ISOProcessRunning, and only the job layer writes it. - Write-WinUtilJobProgress -Hide absorbs the last use of Set-WinUtilTweaksProgressIndicator, so the progress bar and taskbar item have a single owner. The helper is gone. - Show-WinUtilMessage marshals onto the interface thread and logs the prompt, so a job body can ask a question without knowing which thread it is on. The raw MessageBox calls in the ISO workflows are gone. - Win11 Creator status-log lines also go to the session log, and the per-workflow Log/SetProgress helpers are gone. - Get-WinUtilOscdimgPath and Get-WinUtilFreeDriveLetter are now real functions rather than nested ones, so the pool can resolve them.
Start-Transcript only records the runspace it was started on, so every line a worker or the interface logged was being dropped. Write-WinUtilLog now appends to the session log directly, serialized with a named mutex, and the console transcript gets its own file in the same logs directory.
The helper returned whatever the body produced, including a bare $null. Callers written against the old void signature then returned an array instead of their own value: Get-WinUtilSelectedPackages handed back @($null, $split), both package lists read as empty, and Install and Uninstall reported success without installing or removing anything. Output is now suppressed unless -PassThru is asked for, which only Show-WinUtilMessage needs. Covered by tests on both the helper and the package split.
Invoke-WPFButton now classifies the press instead of running it. Anything that changes the system gets a job; tab switches, selection helpers, window chrome and the WPFPanel* applet launchers stay on the interface thread. Updates, the Ultimate Performance plan, the Fixes buttons, OpenSSH Server, the system repair scan and the AppX query previously ran inline, which froze the window, produced no progress and interleaved their output with a running job. The job layer also owns the console banner now. Write-WinUtilJobBanner draws it once, so the eleven hand-drawn === boxes are gone and every operation announces its start, not only its end. - The job is named after what the button says, read from the config or the control itself, so there is no second list of labels to keep in step. - Show-WinUtilMessage replaces the last raw MessageBox calls, which could not have worked from a worker thread. - Write-WinUtilJobProgress replaces the last direct Set-WinUtilTaskbaritem calls.
…ovider Building the session state is on the path to first paint, and going through function:\ for every function cost about as much as the whole interface runspace saved. Time to first window is back level with upstream.
The logo overlay render costs about 55ms and nothing can see it until the window is up, so it no longer sits between the interface being built and being shown. Both the logo and the status overlays are now rendered from the same deferred call once the window has painted.
Both package helpers ran the manager and moved on regardless of its exit code, so a run in which nothing installed still reported success with a green checkmark. They now emit a result per package, classified from the exit code: succeeded, skipped for WinGet telling us there was nothing to do, or failed. The workflow collects them and Complete-WinUtilPackageRun prints the summary and throws when anything failed, which is what puts the job into its failed state.
Measure-WinUtilStep wraps a step, passes its output through untouched, logs how long it took and keeps the record. Every job and the interface build end with a summary ranking the slowest steps and their share of the total, so "which tweak is taking forever" and "what is holding up startup" are answerable from the log instead of by guessing. Wired into the interface build, each tweak, each undo, each feature, and each package. Jobs also log their own wall-clock duration, and the interface logs the moment it can first service input.
The overlays need an STA thread, which the worker pool is not, so they get one of their own. Starting it from the interface thread cost more than it saved: opening the runspace took 154-221ms there against 88ms of rendering. Starting it from the main thread instead is free, because that thread does nothing but wait for the window, and the render then overlaps the interface build. Measured over three runs each, time from start to the interface accepting input: 2071/2105ms before, 2105/2131/2193ms started from the interface thread, 2026/2044/2050ms started from the main thread. Also caches the session state, which two runspaces now share, and moves the runspace cleanup registration into its own function for the second caller.
- wire button clicks by type name against a HashSet, not a pipeline per $sync key: 335ms to 81ms - build no tab content before first paint; Invoke-WPFTab already builds the tab it activates - group apps by category into Lists, not by appending to arrays - interface built ~1460ms to ~465ms, ready for input ~2090ms to ~858ms
- queue each remaining tab at ApplicationIdle priority after first paint - one tab per queued operation so input is serviced in between - first click on a tab no longer pays for its build
- Write-WinUtilErrorRecord logs message, exception type, command, line and script stack - used by the job layer, the button funnel, the interface dispatcher and the main thread - route buttons to the job layer by whitelist, so chrome and popup toggles stop starting empty jobs
- ChocoRadioButton, WingetRadioButton and the install action buttons come from appnavigation.json, so they do not exist until the Install tab is built - the interface build wired them anyway, which is the three null-reference errors reported on close since tab content moved behind first paint - Initialize-WinUtilInstallTabControls now does it from the tab build, guarded - offline mode disables the install buttons from there too, for the same reason - new test fails if the interface build touches any config-generated control
- a worker buffers its warning and error streams on an object nobody reads: Write-Warning never reached the log, Write-Error reached nothing at all - the job layer merges both into the log, so all 30+ Write-Warning and 4 Write-Error sites in the helpers are visible without touching each one - the interface runspace warning stream is drained on exit too - $sync.LoggedErrors counts error events, detail lines excluded - a job that logged errors without throwing now finishes as "N error(s)" with a warning overlay instead of a green checkmark
The winget CLI hides its progress bar as soon as its output is redirected, so a package could only ever be reported as started and finished. The module reports progress and returns a structured result. - Install-WinUtilWinGetClient installs and imports the module, cached per session - Invoke-WinUtilWinGetCommand runs a cmdlet on a nested PowerShell and polls its progress stream, which cannot be redirected like output or errors - percentages map into the package's slice of the job bar: "7zip.7zip - 1.9 MB / 1.9 MB" - outcome comes from Status and InstallerErrorCode, not an exit code - a package already present is upgraded, not reinstalled: Install-WinGetPackage re-downloads and re-runs the installer even without -Force - detection uses Get-WinGetPackage and matches on name as well as id, so apps installed outside winget are recognised (Brave, and every other ARP entry) - falls back to the command line unchanged when the module cannot be installed Verified against real winget in the eval VM, 12 checks; 545 unit tests pass.
Measured what the module actually emits: 7 progress records whether the package is 1.9 MB or 57.8 MB, only two of them download samples, and the install phase reports 0 then 100 with nothing between. On VLC the install is 4.3s of the 9.7s. - the download gets the first half of the package's slice, so reaching 100% download no longer fills the bar - the install phase pulses the bar and counts elapsed seconds in the label, because neither winget nor the module exposes installer progress - scan the whole progress collection, not just its last record: a byte sample can be superseded within milliseconds - RoundedProgressBarStyle gained an indeterminate trigger; it had none Fixes uninstall reporting a package that is not installed as a failure, which is what UninstallError after 354ms was, and adds ExtendedErrorCode to the detail.
The command line prints a sentence for a failure; the client module returns only an HRESULT, so the same failure read as "COMException (0x8A15007D)". Both report the same number, so one table serves both paths. - Get-WinUtilWinGetErrorMessage explains the codes WinUtil hits, and gives the hex plus the return-code reference for anything else - 0x8A15007D now reads: installed for a single user, cannot be removed while running as administrator, remove it from Settings > Apps - unsigned HRESULTs are wrapped rather than cast, which overflowed Int32 - a shared failure reason is repeated in the thrown message - the banner wraps at 76 columns instead of drawing a box wider than the console
- the bar itself was already whole-workflow: 0-12, 25-37, 50-62, 75-87, 100 - but the status read "A.A - 50% downloaded", dropping the (n/total) the old per-package messages carried - callers pass a label, so it now reads "A.A (1/4) - 50% downloaded"
- IsIndeterminate makes WPF discard Value and stretch the indicator across the whole track: measured 398px of a 400px track at value 40, against 159px correct - the pulse is driven by Tag instead, so the bar keeps the progress it reached - RemoveStoryboard on exit, because Stop left the indicator at whatever opacity the pulse happened to be on
…armup - look apps up by hashtable index, not dynamic member: Install tab app area 361ms -> 91ms - cap a render pass at 25 apps so a large category cannot stall the interface - yield between batches when building speculative tab content - claim a tab as initialized before building it, so a click during a yield cannot double build - time each step of a tab switch
- remove 8 single child wrappers from control templates, one per instance of every button, toggle and tweak switch - delete unreferenced labelfortweaks and ScrollVisibilityRectangle styles - verified pixel identical across all five tabs
- upgrade all runs package by package on the worker instead of spawning a console - PS profile setup runs pwsh with output captured, not a Windows Terminal tab - resolve the PS7 profile path from pwsh, so remove targets the file install wrote - treat winget exit 3010 and 1641 as success; a reboot requirement is not a failure - drop the power plan success popups, the job layer already reports the result - load PresentationFramework before a message box on a worker, and log if it cannot show - probe optional commands with -ErrorAction so a missing choco does not throw - refresh PATH after installing chocolatey
- suppress the IAsyncResult Start-WinUtilJob got back, which printed a table on every button press - test fails if any caller leaves Invoke-WPFRunspace unassigned
… consent - choco runs one package per call, so progress moves and a failure names the package - add an Upgrade action; upgrade all was building "choco install all", which is not a package - explain a choco failure from its own output instead of reporting a bare exit code - pass a progress slice to choco from install and uninstall, as winget already gets - never show a message box without a window: a modal there never returns - an unanswerable prompt answers No, so it can never stand in for consent - uninstall requires an explicit Yes rather than the absence of a No
- progress goes to the console when there is no window, throttled so downloads do not bury it - one entry point for preset and config; a preset can now be a baseline a config adds to - apply selected toggles, which only ever applied themselves from the window - exit code carries the outcome: 0 clean, 1 problems, 2 nothing selected - elevation waits for the elevated run and hands its code back - per step timeout, so an installer that never returns cannot hang the run for good - a step that throws no longer abandons the remaining steps - name an unrecognised config entry instead of failing on a null list, and ignore duplicates - import with no window logs instead of throwing on a message box type it cannot load - temp file cleanup skips files in use rather than reporting each as an error

Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-Command in Install-WinUtilChoco so the complete
download-and-execution operation has a bounded timeout, not just the web
request. Ensure the timeout also terminates or reports when the downloaded
install script exceeds the limit, while preserving the existing script execution
behavior.
In `@functions/public/Invoke-WPFSystemRepair.ps1`:
- Around line 17-19: Update the repair-command loop’s exit-code handling to
apply chkdsk’s policy: treat codes 0, 1, and 2 as successful outcomes, while
preserving code 3 as a failure; do not rely solely on the chkdsk entry’s
SuccessCodes because the existing branch is hard-coded for DISM code 3010. Add
focused tests covering chkdsk exit codes 0, 1, 2, and 3.

- send WPFPanel buttons that carry a function through the job layer: the system corruption scan waited on chkdsk, sfc and dism on the interface thread, with nothing to pause, stop or report it - stop a timed out headless step before starting the next one, and abandon the run if it will not stop, rather than changing the machine from two runs at once - keep the stop watchdog's slot claimed until the worker has actually gone - skip the install summary reset when the Install tab has not been built, which offline startup does by opening Tweaks first - keep Win11ISO out of the tab warmup: building it runs the existing work check, which reports or prompts while the user is on another tab - pass --include-unknown when upgrading, since the scan that found the packages used it
- take upstream's stricter Update-WinUtilSelections, and pass SkipUnknown on the headless path so a retired preset entry names itself instead of ending a run nobody is watching - restore the duplicate guard it dropped: a preset and a config that both name an entry selected it twice - keep -Merge working by deciding -Replace from it in the import - keep this branch's tab builder, which already yields and rebuilds on failure, over the switch upstream added beside it - keep Get-WinUtilOscdimgPath over the copy upstream inlined - adopt upstream's tooltip that carries the preset key - retarget two upstream tests at the interface thread, where this branch moved startup and the button wiring

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 9 remain after this review.
- Reset-WPFCheckBoxes enumerated $sync live while setting IsChecked, whose handlers add to $sync, and while the warmup was building controls into it; either one invalidated the enumerator and the warmup reported "Collection was modified" - snapshot both loops - cover it with a checkbox that grows $sync from its own handler, which reproduces the failure without the fix
- they were sized like the title bar icons, next to a 6px progress bar - give them a size of their own and the smaller icon font, which font scaling still applies to - collapsed unless a job is running: they were only ever disabled, so a finished or failed run left two dead buttons on screen - the progress bar still stays to report how the run ended
- only the taskbar item carried the state, so a run that finished with errors left a full bar in the normal colour, reading as a clean finish - the fill now follows the bar's Foreground, which the job layer points at an error or warning colour and back again - by resource reference, so switching theme repaints it - add error and warning colours to both themes
- upstream moved the app navigation render into Initialize-WPFUI, and this branch still rendered it beforehand, so it was built twice - the second pass clears the target grid, and the "already wired" guard goes by name, so the replacement buttons counted as wired and never got a click handler: Install and Uninstall did nothing, with no error anywhere - leave that render to Initialize-WPFUI
- WinGet answers APPINSTALLER_CLI_ERROR_ADMIN_CONTEXT_ACTION_PROHIBITED for anything installed in user scope while it is running elevated, and WinUtil is always elevated, so those uninstalls did nothing - a process cannot drop its own elevation, so hand that one command to a scheduled task running as the interactive user at limited run level - retry only on that code, so everything else is untouched
- new scriptblock parameters were named in PascalCase, which put 20 lines into the diff that are otherwise identical to main - nothing about the behaviour changes
It is its own feature, not something consolidating background work needs. Entries go back to assigning the favicon address to the image, as main does. The work is kept on feat/install-icon-cache and follows once this lands.
They are a new feature of their own, not part of consolidating background work, and main has nothing like them today. - drop the two buttons, their routing and the checkpoints that served them - keep Stop-WinUtilActiveWork: closing the pool and the headless step timeout both need to end work, and neither is the user pressing a button The work is kept on feat/job-pause-stop and follows once this lands.
- the icon glyph strings are a rendering fix of their own: main renders a char, and whether that is right has nothing to do with background work. Reverted here, kept on fix/ui-glyph-strings - trim the temp cleanup tweak to the part this change forces: errors have to be suppressed because the job layer counts a logged error as a failed step, but counting what was removed is unrelated polish

Type of Change
Description
Something I have planned for literally years at this point. a big one which needs to be finalized and rested properly. Also I need to check compatibility with other PRs that may come up so probs gonna keep this on draft until some other PRs are merged/rejected.
This is one PR for a lot of stuff, but it is bc the point of it is to unify many existing features into proper pipelining. I still have to evaluate on what makes sense to be in this pr, I already split some stuff off of it. I believe it makes sense to make the groundwork but by changing the fundemental way winutil runs it kinda has to change a lot? idk..
Invoke-WPFRunspaceis already used by 10 of 15 system-changing workflows, each repeating its own busy flag, progress calls, error handling and cleanup. The other five run on the UI thread. Nothing that has started can be cancelled, and closing the window over running work closes the pool underneath it.This replaces that per-workflow bookkeeping with one job layer and moves the window onto its own thread.
$sync.ProcessRunning, 46 uses across 15 files, 6 workflows unguardedStart-WinUtilJob, taken under a lock, released by tokenStep-WinUtilJobBusyWaiton$sync.ProcessRunningpowershell.exe -NoExitwindow, nothing logged, stoppable or reported backStep-WinUtilJob, 79 sites, 1 banner leftmain.ps1goes from 557 to 154 lines, the interface build moving toStart-WinUtilUserInterface.ps1.Step-WinUtilJobis namedStep-rather thanWrite-because it blocks while paused and throwsOperationCanceledExceptionon stop.Diff
108 files, +7101 / -3200. 23 new function files, 1 deleted. Pester 555 to 693 tests. No new runtime dependency. Compiled script 740,194 to 823,233 bytes, which is comments rather than code: a comment-stripped build of this branch is smaller than the current release built the same way.
Testing
693 Pester tests pass. On a Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation VM: headless package install (exit 0, package installed), headless registry tweak (exit 0, value written), GUI built in 539 ms and ready for input at 987 ms with 0 ERROR or WARN in the log.
