DidMySettingsChange - A python script that checks if windows changed your settings behind your back (github.com)

I created this application after getting tired of seeing settings change for no apparent reason. Due to privacy concerns of how Microsoft is with their aggressive telemetry I decided to use this to make sure my settings stay in tact.

Can this keep num lock engaged? I swear my biggest frustration with windows lately is it's habit of randomly and arbitrarily turning off numlock after I've turned it on. I never turn off numlock while working. I never use the number pad arrows. I prefer the number pad numbers and use them practically all day. And yet, several times a day I find my cursor moving around the screen instead of typing a number because windows decided that it got to control the numlock function instead of me and the dedicated light up key designed for that function that has worked fine for me for decades before.
