This really goes against the whole purpose of buying a Steam Deck considering on Windows you will have a poorer user experience due to the lack of Gamescope and Windows' very poor non touch friendly UI. Maybe there's somethings that can make it better but it won't ever be as good as just using Steam OS or any Linux distro set up to use Gamescope and proton.

I don't like it but if you're that deathly afraid of penguins I suppose it's fine

I remember when I used to write ridiculously long and detailed guides on Steam Deck things, so many people asked me to do the same for installing and tweaking Windows for the Deck! I don't begrudge anyone who wants to install and use it, but it sure isn't my scene. Or recommendation.

Or if you do, plz look into O&O ShutUp 10+11

And do not write this into an admin PowerShell window to activate it.

I didn't stop to think if I should, I was preoccupied with whether or not I could.

I dual boot SteamOS and Windows 10 IoT LTSC mostly because there are still some game developers that can't figure out how to enable anti-cheat for Linux.

And does Windows rewrite my boot sequence every time?

Sure, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
