❔ Windows - system restore on PC shutdown
Not a C# question, I know, but I've no idea where else to turn to lol
Students at my school do all sorts of stuff with the PCs. Weird wallpapers, meatspin in autostart, weird bat files, installing Roblox, all kinds of stuff like that. Not everything can be prevented with just an admin password, AFAIK.

i remember you can close it pretty well even with a vanilla installation
That would be UFW, which I linked above
