This is something I'd love to have for the past decade or so, but as I'm now transitioning to Linux I hope to not have much of this problem anymore.
Nice of you to create this though, and I share your tiredness of settings being changed behind our backs...
I’m on Linux and I was going to shit all over Windows but realized I could use this on a few servers that I fuck with and constantly break.
I enjoy using NixOS with Impermanence for servers.
settings can't be changed if you nuke them from orbit and create them fresh on every boot. To get the same behavior on windows, you'd probably need an image-based system and neutered updating
