Some fool put out a youtube video where he claimed that on a CPU, not all the processors are enabled. Thereby you could activate the unused ones by changing the number.

Yes, some fool.
There aren't any magical hidden processors in there. It is what it is.

this setting is for disabling cores. Not only at boot time, but disabled period.

To tell Windowsto NOT use of all the cores that are available is mostly for debugging purposes or some kind of developer tests when you want to simulate a system with only n cores.

It will break nothing, but it is not a thing anyone would normally need.
