FORTRAN 66 was my first language. Spaghetti code was our professor's favorite term used earlier versions of FORTRAN.

Redefining C functions with macros is permitted, but must be done properly and well documented as such.
Grrrr. Been burned as well.

Is that not the reason why one does tests?

Yes, but normally most of your code will compile. There are significant swaths of GFX that don't compiled, only parsed.
It means, compile errors can hide in my code.

I use one of these. It's inexpensive, gives you 7 USB 3.0 ports, and will work with or without being powered by the wall wart. That should solve your USB port issue.

Are you intending to run all of the devices at once, or just a few at a time? If it's a few at a time, you could set up multiple VMs running minimal linux distros and install VSCode/PlatformIO on those. You'd probably need to bump up the memory on the host machine to allow the memory for that.

These need to be connected to a powered USB hub, particularly when all of them are turned on. I have one I swear by. I can run them all, testing each in probably in serial with each other, though parallel might be possible. The biggest issue I have is actual physical space. This project really needs its own room.

Disclaimer: This is not intended as a programming question. I'm looking for experience and/or references to resources. I tried asking this question in Q&A and wasn't successful posting it, as any keyword I specified was rejected. Before you condemn me for asking here, I have searched on both Microsoft Docs[^] and general Googling with little or no success.
I have a Windows shell extension for an in-house diagnostic tool. Under Windows 11, the context menu entry it supplies is relegated to the "Show more options" submenu in Explorer. Naturally, I'd like to make my context menu entry a 1st class citizen. There is exactly one example that purports to demonstrate how to do this, and the comments indicate that it doesn't work. Microsoft's documentation isn't coherent on the subject. The gist of it seems to be that your application needs to be packaged like a UWP app, which requires a signing certificate and a whole lot of other bric-a-brac. By their own admission, VS2019 doesn't include the "tooling" to make this easy.
Has anyone done this, or do they have any suggestions?

YES. THIS
That's been the gist of my reply to this question for about 30 years now.
It never ceases to amuse me how bent out of shape some people get if you refuse to answer until they do.
Seems to shut them up though when you talk about being precisely at the mid-point between work and home.
At that stage, the question I've asked stops seeming so trivial
