I've recently gave up on newer Windows (10, 11) for my gaming rig and went back to Windows 7. With Open-Shell and simplewall, it is decent, gets out of my way, and allows me to play the games I want. simplewall allows me to block every Microsoft phone-home in there, it's great.
For everything else, I run Windows 98 on a Raspberry. SimCity runs pretty well.
