Zbrush 2025.2 Brush increase or decrease hotkeys don't work. Fix!

Here is the reply from Maxon (Zbrush)

Thank you for using ZBrush!
 
There has been an oversight with the newest release where a couple of plugin files were overlooked and didn't make it into the software.  
 
I have attached the HotKeyDrawSize.zsc file and InteractiveLight.zsc file to this response.  You will want to copy them into the ZData/ZPlugs64 folder of your ZBrush installation.
 
By default that folder is located at C: > Program Files > Maxon ZBrush 2025 > ZData > ZPlugs64.

Right-click on the Windows logo and select "Run"

Type "shutdown -s -t <number in seconds>" and press enter key. For example, if you want to shut down your PC/laptop after 100 minutes then, type: shutdown -s -t 6000. In this case, 6000 denotes the number of seconds, therefore your machine will shut down automatically after 100 minutes.
