"accidentally"
Your platform is not exciting Microsoft. It's also a royal pain to manage or fix.
A "leak" of tools that should just be out there to begin with is lame.
Wow this site is ass, they're putting ads on the top and bottom of the screen, in the middle of the article, and pop-ups on images???
Use an ad blocker. I don't see any ads or popups.
More specifically I would recommend adnauseam since it's extra punishing to aggressive advertisers by clicking the ads automatically.
I thought Adnauseam was only to screw over the tracking by clicking every ad, as clicking ads generates revenue for the site?
I've heard that it's considered click fraud and that the advertisers sometimes Force the site to pay them back possibly a little bit extra as a fine.
Not too sure though. Personally I don't really use it because the adblocking structure I have set up isn't really compatible because it has multiple layers. I block the ads over the network through a network-wide firewall, I also block them through portmaster on my computer, and finally I have uBlock Origin in my browser. I also have adnauseam alongside of it and I turn off ublock origin for the sites that I want to autoclick ads on but almost none make it through the multilevel network filtering.
I was thinking it would be better if you could use the tool to disable windows features.
O god o no I’m leaking again aaaaaaaa

Where can I find the tool?
Probably omitted as "an exercise for the reader" since it's legally grey. And a difficult exercise. I cannot find it at all
There is a link to it from this article:
https://mspoweruser.com/how-to-use-staging-tool/
Not the exact StagingTool, but the GitHub project mach2 that's linked to in the article supposedly supports many of the same features as StagingTool, I guess kind of an open source clone.
Edit: to add more detail. If you look in the project for some files that have been updated recently, such as this one, the feature list includes some numeric codes at the top, which are the same ones StagingTool uses. The ones without any symbolic name at all, I believe, are ones that have not been determined yet what they do.
BetaWiki is gonna go wild with this.
