'Github Desktop - Not showing changes
Basically I changed a few files in Notepad++ but it wont show up in Github for Windows.
I have tried reinstalling, Restarting pc and constantly re-cloning into different parts on my pc.
Nothing seems to do anything

Check in command line if you have a .gitignore rule that ignores those changes
cd /path/to/my/repo
git check-ignore -v -- afile
It can be a local .gitignore, or a global one.
The other possibility is if you are in a detached HEAD.
Check the output of git branch.
Finally, check again how to work with a local repo with GitHub Desktop: the comments below show that:
git status
git add .
git commit -m "add changes"
All this work as expected from command line.
The OP Shiny adds in the comments:
Seems like a bug I need to report to Github, But basically I set my username of my PC to "
{Shiny}" and it seems if "{}" is in the path it glitches it out.
That is why I always recommend starting with simpler path: C:\git\myrepo, just to validate that it works there.
