2.) and also missing AppData\Local\GoTweaks and sheduledtask (i think because of the installation not completed
but after manually killing XboxGamingBarHelper.exe and manually starting as admin from:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PlayandBuildCustom.10365195AA1EC_0.3.2556.0_x64__8edemd50ez3gg\XboxGamingBarHelper
(needed to take ownership of the WindowsApps because you have not permission to do something i this folder
The setup is running but need to update the XboxGamingBarHelper.exe after some attempt to kill XboxGamingBarHelper.exe an starting it again as admin manually I got the setup finished and helper is connected
but is still was not ok because in the C:\Users\Jordi\AppData\Local\GoTweaks\Helper.version file the version number is not correct
.version file shows 1.0.0.0
but needs: 0.3.2556.0 (the version of te build I installed)
thank to #97 mrRobotjs for pointing this out
