This is a repeat of part 2 of this 3 part video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWHiP9K8fQ0&t=371s
He mentions his tool at the end
So its mostly a copy of something he did before and the Title is actually misleading…._ so…_
_.. so …This is a very curious offering from Chris. But it has had a very unusually high number of Clicks. Either he was very lucky or he has / is playing around with / or has sussed out the YouTube algorithm or serch bot algorithms , or by some other devious means he has posted some crap to trick the system and get lots of View clicks




9.08 How to use GitHub 04 12 2021
This is a bit of a knee jerk reaction to that LTT guy making a reasonable quick reaction to how complicated and confusing GitHub is.
Chris then gave the 3 ( 4 ) ways to copy stuff. – He wasn’t that sure himself.
We have
_ (i) Double click on a file and then you get a Raw Button, ( then maybe a Ctrl+S )
_ (ii) Download GitHub Desktop, then do a Clone Repository?
_ (iii) PowerShell (or windows 11 Terminal) wget with the Raw URL ( from (i) )
( _ (iv) ) downloaded the zip File shown somewhere if you know your way around GitHub )
Good grief, looks like he proved the point the LTT guy was saying.He says people don’t understand the idea behind it. I think they do. But its just Poo, at doing that

Chris’s says he is mainly interested in this Live stream in adding a button to totally disable and then re enable updates. He stresses he is doing this only because of a lot of requests and that he really does not think it’s a good idea.
As it came out he spent a large amount of the time doing a very nice clear run through explanation of Essential Tweaks. The rest of the time was split into shorter bits doing those two buttons and going some way to fixing a few mistakes he noticed as he went along.

Chris said he was tired at the start, but he seemed well in form in this one. He started with something to do with Games in his windows. I don’t know what that was about but then he went bang at about from 6-7 minutes into a
very nice clear run through explanation of Essential Tweaks

Num Lock chaos issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRg5...P1d2B994AaABAg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRg5nItpghA&t=2210s
At minute 36:50 noticed by chance when doing something else, that some time previously he had missed a Disable NumLock after startup button and coding, so he made one , $laptopnumlock

629 $laptopnumlock = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Button
630 $laptopnumlock.text = "Laptop Numlock Fix"
631 $laptopnumlock.width = 211
632 $laptopnumlock.height = 30
633 $laptopnumlock.location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(4,267)
643 $laptopnumlock.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font('Microsoft Sans Serif',12)


1164 $laptopnumlock.Add_Click({
1165 Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKU:\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard" -Name "InitialKeyboardIndicators" -Type DWord -Value 0
1166 Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
1167 If (([System.Windows.Forms.Control]::IsKeyLocked('NumLock'))) {
1168 $wsh = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
1169 $wsh.SendKeys('{NUMLOCK}')
1170 }
1171 })

In fact he had only forgotten the GUI button, the Add Click coding was there

1751 $DisableNumLock.Add_Click({
1752 Write-Host "Disable NumLock after startup..."
1753 Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKU:\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard" -Name "InitialKeyboardIndicators" -Type DWord -Value 0
1754 Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
1755 If (([System.Windows.Forms.Control]::IsKeyLocked('NumLock'))) {
1756 $wsh = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
1757 $wsh.SendKeys('{NUMLOCK}')
1758 }
1759 $ResultText.text = "`r`n" +"`r`n" + "NUMLOCK Disabled"
1760 })

At min 51 he justifies putting services to manual – he says don’t need disable or auto start.
After doing most of the mods necessary to the GUI, and a few of the mistakes he noticed, he copied most of the GUI made code, then pasted into a “clone” copy of his main current code, but he bypassed copying the first bit, so bypassed and keeps the fucked up mess at the start


At 1:52 he has another rage on Edge and once again stresses that whilst he does not intentionally try to break it, it is likely that his script will damage a lot of stuff needed for Edge.
