Release Notes

microsoft/windowsappsdk (Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK)

v2.5.1: Windows App SDK 2.5.1

Windows App SDK 2.5.1 adds Windows Error Reporting support for self-contained .NET MSIX apps, introduces limited-access app content search APIs, and includes reliability fixes across WinUI 3, input, composition, deployment, and Windows AI.

What's new in WinAppSDK 2.5.1:
  • Windows Error Reporting support. Self-contained .NET MSIX apps can now use the windows.diagnosticServiceModule package-manifest extension to declare diagnostic modules, allowing Windows Error Reporting to load them and collect actionable crash dumps.
  • Limited-access AppContentSearch APIs. Apps with a limited-access feature token can use the new AppContentIndex APIs to index text and images, perform lexical queries, and use semantic matching on supported NPU-enabled devices. The APIs support semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation scenarios.
