I'd have a separate bootable partition for each anticheat type. For example a bootable Win11 partition for EA anticheat games and another bootable Win11 partition for Activision anticheat games.
Finally I'd have another bootable Win11 partition for general computing. On this partition I'd install as many apps as I want without fear of them triggering anticheat bans, since these apps are on a bootable Win11 partition that's separate from the anticheat game partitions.
You could also have a single partition for gaming and install all your games on it, but anticheat apps are very similar to antivirus apps. So that'd be like running 2 or 3 antivirus apps on the computer at the same time. Anybody who's ever tried that knows it negatively impacts the PC's performance and slows it down.
Partition software that can resize, merge, split, create, and format partitions is a must. You'll definitely want something better than Windows Disk Management.
