Hi,
Windows 11 24H2 RTM is close at hand, thus this pull request:
Link to issue number:
Closes #16348
Summary of the issue:
In Windows 11 Version 24H2 (2024 Update and Server 2025), mouse and touch interaction cannot be used in quick settings (Windows+A).
Description of user facing changes
Mouse and touch interaction can be used to navigate and interact with quick settings, cast, and similar elements.
Description of development approach
Quick settings component (including cast) was separated from ShellExperienceHost.exe (now ShellHost.exe) in Windows 11 Version 24H2. Therefore, an app alias will be used to handle this case - "ControlCenterWindow" is marked as UIA, allowing mouse and touch interaction.
Testing strategy:
Manual testing (requires Windows 11 24H2 builds): open quick settings (Windows+A) and use mouse and/or touch to navigate quick settings elements.
Known issues with pull request:
None
