As for the software downloads on reinstall, services such as Ninite and Windows Remix can do this for you and require minimal effort to generate and download the standalone installer. Additional tools such as package managers could have quick scripts or one-liners set up to automate the use of them so they can install tons of up-to-date software similar to the likes of Ninite and Windows Remix. Some package managers for Windows include Windows’ own package manager, Windows Package Manager (“winget”), and community-based alternatives Chocolatey (will put applications in User folder, may require Administrator privileges) or Scoop (isolated installed apps outside of User folder, shouldn’t require Administrator privileges).

In Windows, you need choco. Run as administrator:

All you have to do is go to youtube, or any other streaming website, let it detect the stream, copy the ffmpg/yt-dlp which is displayed by the addon, and paste it into your command prompt where ffmpg/yt-dlp is installed. I used chocolatey to install both of those and recommend you do the same. it installs them and creates a path so you can execute it from any directory,

Chocolatey

It's also available in Chocolatey and Scoop.
