Research direction

Search the repo for wermgr and PeriodInNanoSeconds to locate the Telemetry - Disable entries in the tweaks configuration JSON. Verify on Windows 25H2 whether the service and registry path are actually gone (Get-Service wermgr, reg query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Suif) versus merely failing on this build. Done when the tweak applies without either error while the remaining Telemetry changes still apply on older Windows versions.
