* Make UI helpers no-op when no window exists
The -Preset and -Config paths run Invoke-WinUtilAutoRun before the XAML
form is created and before PresentationCore is loaded, so every call into
Invoke-WPFUIThread failed with InvokeMethodOnNull and every call into
Set-WinUtilTweaksProgressIndicator failed to resolve [Windows.Visibility].
The errors were non-terminating, so tweaks still applied, but each run
filled the log with noise.
Loading presentationframework earlier does not help: Visibility lives in
PresentationCore, which only loads once a WPF object is instantiated, and
the XAML-named progress controls do not exist in these paths either.
Guarding the two helpers covers Invoke-WPFtweaksbutton, Invoke-WPFundoall
and Invoke-WPFFeatureInstall, which the existing per-call-site $hasUI
convention never reached.
* Suppress stray console output from automation runs
Invoke-WPFRunspace returns an IAsyncResult that no caller uses, and
Set-WinUtilRegistry was the only New-PSDrive call site that did not
suppress its output. A GUI click handler discards both, but the -Preset
and -Config paths call the workflows directly, so an async handle dump
and a PSDrive table landed in the user's log.
The handle itself is kept because pester/runspace.Tests.ps1 asserts that
Invoke-WPFRunspace returns a single IAsyncResult, so the suppression goes
at the four call sites reachable from Invoke-WinUtilAutoRun.
* Add project learning for window-free UI helpers
* fix: resolve silent failures in AppX removal and PS7 DISM bugs
- Fixed a bug where Remove-AppxPackage failed silently in PowerShell 7 due to pipeline binding issues. We now explicitly loop through Get-AppxPackage results and pass PackageFullName directly.
- Added wildcard matching to Get-AppxPackage and Get-AppxProvisionedPackage to reliably locate packages regardless of short name vs family name variations.
- Offloaded Get-AppxProvisionedPackage and Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage execution to Windows PowerShell 5.1 (powershell.exe) to bypass PowerShell 7 DISM COM exceptions ("Class not registered") and performance hangs.
- Deduplicated AppX removal logic by calling Remove-WinUtilAPPX directly from Invoke-WPFAppxRemoval instead of copying the implementation.
* refactor(Remove-WinUtilAPPX): use script block to improve readability
* feat: enhance AppX removal process and add provisioned package removal function
* fix(tests): update AppX removal tests
This also adds tests for the new Remove-WinUtilProvisionedAPPX functionality
* Move AppX removal under Tweaks
* Address AppX removal review feedback
* Complete AppX removal error handling
* Prevent AppX cleanup confirmation prompts
