registry key gamebar presencewriter permission issue #135

Describe the Bug

Running a default patcher + enable hibernate resulted in a permission error in the gaming responsiveness tweaks. (I could maybe resolve this by chowning the registry keys but I thought I'd report this here instead.

[-] [Performance] Disabling GameBar Presence Writer... Set-ItemProperty : Requested registry access is not allowed. At D:\Software\Win-Debloat-Tools-develop\src\lib\debloat-helper\Set-ItemPropertyVerified.psm1:28 char:13 + Set-ItemProperty -Path "$Path" -Name "$Name" -Type $Type ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (HKEY_LOCAL_MACH....PresenceWriter:String) [Set-ItemProperty], Securit yException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Security.SecurityException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetItemPropertyCommand

How can this issue be reproduced?

run the apply tweaks script from the GUI (this is the current dev build, not the main branch)

Expected behavior?

Waiting for the sudo command to see if it helps.

The only way to address this Gamebar Presence Writer problem is to get the ownership of GameBarPresenceWriter.exe inside the C:\Windows\System32 folder and rename it.

Getting access through ACL in registry isn't working at all.
