globally fix HKU error & minimize console feedback

- fix HKU issue globally - remove some console logs, change some others to write-debug

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
MyDrift	667d96c397	globally fix HKU error & minimize console feedback - fix HKU issue globally - remove some console logs, change some others to write-debug	2024-11-07 08:25:30 +01:00
Marterich	feff1078d8	Bugfix: New-PSDrive seems to return the "hku" itself so weirdly gets prepended to the return value so the result becomes ("hku", $false). In powershell pretty much every variable that exists is interpreted as $true so the toggle for numlock got incorrectly checked	2024-11-06 22:58:41 +01:00
MyDrift	a4fccd3c85	add a lot of error handling	2024-11-06 22:16:01 +01:00
MyDrift	5c2d5fae1e	fix HKU - load HKU if needed (for tweaks & GetToggleStatus) - remove unneeded Invoke-WinUtilNumLock - has loaded HKU does not load/not stay loaded	2024-11-06 19:13:32 +01:00
MyDrift	a93d44a6dc	add reg params for toggles into tweaks.json - add all reg keys to tweaks.json into existing toggle entry - remove unneeded scripts	2024-11-06 01:09:09 +01:00
MyDrift	f0afb6735a	move logic to json template - remove Invoke-WPFToggle.ps1 - generalize Get-WinUtilToggleStatus - add bingsearch reg key for testing - use Invoke-WinUtilTweaks for actions - replace Add-Click with checked & unchecked to make undo work	2024-11-05 22:40:31 +01:00
