DeskBox 1.5.9

DeskBox 1.5.9 is a feature update: Windows 11-native right-click menus, a calmer and more capable updater, a recovery offer after configuration wipes, Korean language support, a clear notice on fully elevated desktops, and a wide reliability pass over widgets, drag-drop, and memory.

Released on October 23, 2026.

Highlights

• Windows 11-native right-click menus. A single column of inline-icon rows in Explorer's classic order, rendered directly on acrylic; "Open with" lists real associated apps including UWP with icons; "New"/"View"/"Sort by" submenus on the blank area; native ZIP compress (tar variants, multi-select) and extract. Namespace shortcuts (This PC, Recycle Bin, Control Panel) inherit their target's verbs.
• A calmer, more capable updater. Daily wall-clock-anchored checks with failure back-off, actionable update-toast buttons, automatic release notes after an update, background downloads that skip metered connections with a ready toast, a stage-following status badge, version navigation across the full published history in the update log (identical on every machine, offline-readable once viewed), and an in-flight activity card in settings; background download and update notifications get separate switches.
• A recovery offer after a configuration wipe. When a launch detects missing settings plus a surviving snapshot that passes the hard gates, a one-time window offers restore-or-fresh; scheduled snapshots pause until the decision lands.
• Korean language support. The interface, installer, and first-run experience ship in Korean alongside the existing 12 languages, plus a full translation-quality pass over the 1.3.8-era machine translations.
• A clear notice on fully elevated desktops. A one-time startup notice explains why dragging out of widgets is unavailable when the whole desktop runs as administrator (UAC off, built-in Administrator, or company-managed), with the exact way back for Pro, Home, and alternate accounts; the drag-drop diagnostics attribute the same, and an acknowledged notice never returns.
• The tray icon can be hidden. A "Hidden" tray icon style: no icon at startup, immediate runtime switching, no revival on taskbar recreation.
• Steadier widgets. Placement survives display-topology changes, edge-docked bars stop jumping to a corner on reveal, group-tab capsules expand promptly on re-entry, revealing after hiding is prompt again, and the todo color submenu no longer crash-closes the app on Windows 11 25H2 (a font file 25H2 removed behind a leftover registration).

Downloads and verification

GitHub Releases installers

The direct installers are Full Native AOT builds with the bundled private Windows App Runtime — fully offline installation. Installers are currently unsigned. Verify the SHA-256 checksums after downloading.

Microsoft Store upload

This combined .msixupload is the only file from this section intended for Partner Center. It contains DeskBox_1.5.9.0_x64_arm64.msixbundle plus the matching x64 and ARM64 .appxsym files. The internal bundle is version 1.5.9.0 and has SHA-256 9ACD22C7CDCB7CA8440CFFA0205D8F308B2B8425916BC93EF95D83211DDE06FD.

The two single-architecture .msixupload files produced during per-architecture auditing are intermediate evidence only and must not be submitted as the final DeskBox Store release.

Both direct installers and the combined Store upload were produced from the source tree of commit 7610fa52c6108b4c63827608aa3243c8b40c6f33 (plus the release batch committed at ship time).

Validation

• x64 full test suite: 5803/5803 passed (2026-10-23, final tree = release/1.5.9 merge plus the tray/elevation refinements, the version-rail consistency fix, and the todo color-submenu crash fix).
• x64 and ARM64 Native AOT retail publish and Full installer packaging verified locally for both architectures on 2026-10-22.
• The combined Store bundle was unpacked again; both payload hashes matched the audited inputs, bundle identity is D1FC332A.DeskBoxWidgets version 1.5.9.0, and both payload package audits passed.

中文说明

DeskBox 1.5.9 是一次功能更新：Windows 11 原生右键菜单、更从容的更新体验、配置清空后的恢复提议、新增韩语、全提权桌面清晰告知，以及一轮覆盖格子/拖放/内存的可靠性打磨。

2026 年 10 月 23 日发布。

主要更新

• Windows 11 原生右键菜单。 单竖列行内图标、资源管理器经典序、直出毛玻璃；「打开方式」列真实关联应用（含 UWP 带图标）；空白处「新建」「查看」「排序」子菜单；原生 ZIP 压缩（tar 变体、多选）与解压。命名空间快捷方式（此电脑/回收站/控制面板）继承目标动词。
• 更从容的更新体验。 每日墙钟锚点检查+失败退避、可点的更新 Toast 按钮、更新后自动弹更新内容、后台下载（跳过计费网络+就绪 Toast）、全程状态徽章、更新日志可按版本浏览完整发布历史（所有机器一致、看过的离线可读）与设置窗活动浮层；后台下载与更新通知独立开关。
• 配置清空后的恢复提议。 启动检测到设置缺失且幸存快照通过硬门校验时，一次性弹窗列出备份时间与格子数量，「从备份恢复」两段式事务落地，「全新开始」或关窗即干净开始；决议前定时快照暂停。
• 新增韩语界面。 界面、安装器与开屏引导新增韩语，与既有 12 种语言并列；同时对 1.3.8 时期机翻事故做全量译文修正。
• 全提权桌面的清晰告知。 整个桌面以管理员权限运行时（UAC 关闭/内置 Administrator/公司管理）一次性弹窗说明拖出限制与确切恢复路径（专业版 secpol、家庭版注册表、标准账户），附可复制命令与 toast 兜底；拖放诊断同步归因，确认后不再打扰。
• 托盘图标可以隐藏。 「隐藏」样式：启动即不创建、运行时切换即时生效、任务栏重建不复活。
• 更稳的格子。 位置扛得住显示器拓扑变化，贴边长条不再跳角，分组胶囊切标签后即时展开，隐藏后马上唤出不再卡顿，待办颜色子菜单不再在 Windows 11 25H2 上闪退（该版本删除了字体文件却残留注册表项）。

验证状态

• x64 全量测试：5803/5803 通过（2026-10-23，最终源码树 = release/1.5.9 合并 + 托盘/提权收尾修复 + 版本栏一致性修复 + 待办颜色子菜单闪退修复）。
