Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

I couldn't sleep at night thinking that after years of accusing Windows being bloated and literally making it even more bloated with my hands. So here you go. The mediocre yet working solution. This reduces the binary size to 1051k (1067k before) while keeping the code maintainable for human beings.

Validation Steps Performed

Tests added.
