… REG_SZ instead of REG_DWORD The three values rewritten in `HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Toggle` should be of type REG_SZ: https://github.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas/blob/0b41102f1ee9696274a177db6aa913b8481377de/src/playbook/Executables/AtlasModules/Scripts/Modules/Qol/Qol.psm1#L47-L50 Expectation: <img width="1052" height="646" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7894fb5b-460f-46dd-b634-a5c23b4c432a" /> I also checked the `HKCU\Control Panel\Accessibility\...` `Flag` values rewritten in the same function in the registry in a stock install of Windows, and those were also of type REG_SZ, so have patched those too. I have not checked other values in other functions. We received reports of this causing crashes in Keyman; see keymanapp/keyman#14342. (We have now patched Keyman to work around the unexpected data type.)
