Perhaps a strange question but is there a way to completely lock a disk from any read/write access in Win10 without unmounting it? Or perhaps some type of application level firewall that asks me for permission before a program can access data on a certain disk?

background: I have a Win 10 VM and a secondary disk image mounted inside it as a physical disk. The secondary disk image is on a NAS.
Anytime Windows 10 does a tiny access to it, my NAS spins up all 5 disks.
To my surprise this keeps happening even though there shouldn't be anything accessing it.

Just echoing what the others already said, people who used GoLive/Dreamweaver back in 2000s now use something like squarespace.com, wordpress or some other CMS.

Your static HTML files are a dead end unless you're willing to write your own code in the future, which isn't really isn't that hard with todays libraries.

Is there a way to convince windows that a monitor of a given resolution is plugged in to it, even if no monitor exists at all?

that's the only reliable solution I know if you want to keep hardware acceleration, which you generally do for anything GUI related.

I have Windows 10 Professional as a Hyper-V VM host and one Windows 10 Pro VM running on two 1TB HDDs (mirrored with Windows software RAID1).

Whenever I start the VM it sounds like the disks start "seeking" fairly periodically, in fact it almost sounds like something is thrashing the disk although both systems (host+vm) are idle. Is this normal or something that can be easily fixed? I've only used SSDs for VMs so far but that's not an option.

How usable is Firefox on a modern Surface device on battery power? I’d like to use FF on my Mac but it absolutely wrecks battery life compared to Safari with all its low level/private API optimisations. Is the situation similar in Windows and Edge vs FF?
