for anyone who likes to go heavy on the debloating:
Disabling internet explorer mode in Feature on Demand section of NTLite breaks the ability of Windows Volume Mixer to retain the levels of individual apps. if you disable it, every time you adjust a level for an app it's going to revert back to 100 (or whatever stuck level) after closing the app.
this seems uncorrelated at first, but after some digging, it appears windows stores the values of these levels under the following registry key:
............................................................................-------------------..........................................................................................
so it makes more sense now.

I'm not sure if the issue is exclusive to W11 25H2, but there are several threads online about a very similar issue that plagued some earlier versions of windows 11 and 10, caused by windows failing to automatically create the said registry key, and the fix was to manually creating it...however, if you disable internet explorer mode, the issue becomes permeant, and the fix won't work......so beware !
