Why is the USB option being retired?

The reason Dolphin is withdrawing the USB option for SuperNova is that Microsoft will be putting Windows 10 to the End of Life in October 2025. Guest Mode - which allows SuperNova to run from the USB without installation onto the device itself - will not be available in Windows 11, due to advanced security settings.
