I think this is an interesting idea. Lots of things we do are done the way they are because they've always been done like that. "Turn off Antivirus" has been common advice for PC players for as long as I can remember, this is a neat way to handle all of that stuff by default (nobody needs windows search indexing a scratch folder for a video game).

One of the reasons people migrate to PC is _because_ of the customization that you're locking down.

How does your system defend against a HDMI capture device and a USB device that pretends to be a keyboard?

where we are going, we don’t need graphics config. cyberpunk and cortana will always be there, only a reboot away.

handcam anti-cheat and the replay system is how we deal with non-human inputs. ranked only.

in pubs, you may encounter a cheater. hopefully owning the whole os makes that easier to detect, but i’m not sure it will.
