Hey Dramuch, interesting question! By default, Windows To Go or similar Windows Live USB setups are typically persistent, since Windows isn’t designed to run in a stateless/live mode like Linux distros do. However, making it non-persistent would usually require some workarounds.
One way to get close might be using a write-protected USB drive or creating a virtual disk (VHD) that resets on reboot, similar to how some IT labs use software like Deep Freeze. That said, it's not an out-of-the-box feature in Windows like it is with many Linux distros.
Have you tried experimenting with any virtualization or snapshot tools to simulate that effect? Curious if anyone else here has managed a clean solution.
