Description

After running the scripts, I've got no system notifications and can't change between speakers and headphones, as the realtek dialog was shown as a notification.

Research direction
The issue reports that after executing the debloat scripts, the user loses system notifications and cannot switch audio devices because the Realtek dialog is missing. To investigate, first review the repository's scripts (e.g., the main debloat script and any registry tweaks) for changes that disable notification related services like 'NotificationService' or modify HKEY CURRENT USER\Control Panel\Notifications. Check the 6 comments on the issue for any hints or proposed solutions. Test in a virtual machine by running each script incrementally to isolate the problematic one. The fix likely involves reverting a specific registry change or service disablement.
