I was planning on using either the one by kannagi0303 from github or stacher.

update: I have setup the one from github, seems to do the job. Still can't figure out downloading subtitles using gui and using the yt-dlp terminal version for that. Link for what I am using: https://github.com/kannagi0303/yt-dlp-gui

Idk I just wrote two or three Powershell scripts that I added to path so I can choose to download video (merged), audio, or both (unmerged) with a selection dialog to choose formats.

I similarly made two functions depending on the use case (see comments in code) and saved them in Powershell's default profile (Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1) so I can invoke them with just one word directly in commandline, works great 👌

function Vid {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$link
    )
    yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link -S "res:1080,br" --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp limited to 1080p; usage Vid YT_URL
function VidFull {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$link
    )
    yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp in maximum quality; usage VidFull YT_URL
