0:58 It shouldn’t be surprising that setting everything to 0 (or close to it) would result in black text on black backgrounds, given that all control panel colors are generally stored in 24-bit RGB values. In fact setting everything to any number that is identical across the board will result in an unreadable mess.

The "more data is available" happens because the system tries to read the new Qword values and it reads it like Dword values but there's still more data that the system doesn't want and/or is enough to destroy the system
I never saw a "removing personalized settings" window before, only the normal one where it sets that stuff up. I guess it sets things in the registry so that's why it removed them cause they got corrupt.
