Microsoft could easily secure windows by blocking all rootkits/"kernel anti cheat". At this point that's probably the best option.

Games should never have kernel level access.

Games are a multi billion dollar industry that Microsoft has a stake in. A better option would be a ‘games mode’ and a ‘secure mode’.
