Software on Microsoft Windows uses an application programming interface (API) called "CreateFile" to access files. Somewhat confusingly, CreateFile not only creates files but is also the primary way to open them. Microsoft should rate-limit the CreateFile() API.
So make it a digital abacus? Going with scorched earth policy on everything & everyone, because it could slow down a chance ransomware event for a few, doesn't sounds particularly a bright idea.
