* fix(tweaks): move SvcHost split threshold out of the Services tweak The Services tweak wrote SvcHostSplitThresholdInKB equal to total physical memory, which disables svchost service splitting. On some machines that leaves XboxGipSvc stuck on Starting (#5115), and the tweak had no undo for the value. WPFTweaksSvcHostSplitting now owns the write under Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION and restores the Windows client default (0x380000) on undo. A config test keeps the threshold write out of the Services tweak. * Document service splitting risks and default restore * Restore test header formatting after merge resolution * Document legacy service-host recovery and link the maintained guide * Link service-host splitting to its maintained guide section * docs: recommend svchost grouping for low-memory systems * fix(tweaks): persist svchost threshold as a DWORD --------- Co-authored-by: Chris Titus <contact@christitus.com>
