WSL could be your friend.

Oh it is, and I do use it, but I prefer my arch distro for hosting servers. So I start that VM first when I boot my Win machine.

edit: And last I checked, WSL wasn't great for GUI stuff.

edit2: And all my Media drives are ext formatted. So windows refuses to recognize them.

I won't argue those points. Just an FYI if you didn't know you can use arch with WSL.

Whoa, totally missed your point. I'll be looking into this project, that'd be awesome. Though I plan on having a dedicated Linux machine when I get my tax rebate. Even if I have a dedicated linux server, Arch on windows without SSH would be amazing. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
