Since we’re discussing Windows privacy here…

What I’d really like is something that creates a situation like VeraCrypt plausible deniability, but where the base image gets updated regularly so that the timestamps and temporary file usage also look plausible for a computer used today.

Then instead of running an app like this, you just log out, and when you log in with the wrong password, it presents a plausible if mostly empty userland that overwrites the real encrypted data as new files are written to disk.
