Investigate removing pywin32 dependencies #2190

@nriley

Description

@nriley

Beta/experimental Talon makes use of a free-threading/no-GIL Python interpreter (3.14t).

Currently importing pywin32 disables free-threading; future versions of Talon may not include pywin32 at all. Currently, pywin32 is not compatible with free-threading, though there is work in progress to remedy this.

We should decide if we can replace community's uses of pywin32 with ctypes or other APIs for interfacing with Windows APIs, or potentially (optionally) disable the corresponding features.
