"Customize Preference" toggles broken(?)

[Squtzy]

Describe the bug

Each time I start WinUtil most of the toggles are back to being set into "ON" mode (The green toggle color). See screenshots, even if I disable toggles and then re-open WinUtil the toggles are turned back on. Even when restarting the system in-between I get the same result

Steps to reproduce

Open WinUtil.
Go to "Tweaks" Page
Look at "Customize Preference" toggles
Keep enabling themselves after re-opening WinUtil / restarting system.

Expected behavior

Disabling or enabling things with the toggles should keep the things in set state.

Screenshots

(Toggles after restarting or re-opening)

(The way I have set / want to have my toggles set)

(Console output when setting toggles to desired state.)

I can second this bug. Toggled OFF 'recommendations in start menu', 'widgets button in taskbar', and 'mouse acceleration'. Upon restart, settings were toggled ON again. Attempted to test twice with same outcome. Although, upon checking registry and start menu, the functions seem to work correctly, but the toggle button is resetting for some reason.

Bump.
Have you seen this? @MyDrift-user
Figured I'd tag you since I saw you contributed to the toggle logic last release.

hmmm, I don't seem to be having the same issue. Does it work if using version "Release 24.11.25 - Fix OneDrive Removal"?

How do I use that specific version? I have a shortcut for the latest main release on my desktop. I know the toggles behaved like intended before this release but that's just my word 😅

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. I just tested this and running WinUtil from this release the toggles are set in the "correct" positions each time I start WinUtil. When attempting to use latest release they are in the incorrect state each time again. The keys are correct but toggle state is not.

Any clue on what could be causing this? @MyDrift-user

Been able to look into this issue? I noticed it is still showing incorrect toggle state on new release 'Release 25.03.05' @MyDrift-user

I know the difference in the logic it uses and I think I see the issue, I did not find time to adress this yet tho.
Sorry for that but I hope to look at it some more in the near future.

No worries. Just wanted to let you know both this and the other issue that I referenced this in both worked on the older release you linked here

Second this again. I can confirm issue is ongoing on the latest release. Thank you for looking into it.
