Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the installer flow on Windows 10 with PowerToys 0.98.0 RC, including the Com Surrogate upgrade dialog and the subsequent stuck state. Done means the installer can be cancelled or completed normally after the dialog, with the behavior verified in a repeatable test or reproduction procedure.
