Graduation unlocks all the white collar career paths, and your inevitable induction to enterprise IT spyware and power tripping local admins.

Well, I've got some bad news depending on what industry you're going into: the business world runs on Windows.

Wait, are universities still using Respondus?
I feel for you. It was used a lot during the beginning of the pandemic, but I thought it was dropped by now.

Get WinAero Tweaker. It's a tool that applies dozens of registry and group policy settings to kill stuff like this. I ran it once ages ago and never have had to deal with stuff like your screenshot.
They said they can't wait to graduate, so I'm assuming that means they are using a Windows computer from their school, and depending on what the CIT department's policies are like there, WinAero may not accomplish much

Once you graduate, this will be the least of your annoyances.
“Welcome to work. Here is your computer, your free corporate swag, and all the terrible enterprise software that will cripple your productivity.”
“When our overly aggressive security software inevitably locks you out next month, please let us know by filing a ticket at this IT portal. You will not have access to said portal once you’re locked out.”

Linux, bro.
Linux.
Linux mostly works. It's both fun and frustrating learning how to operate it. There's only a couple things I can't get to work on Linux which is annoying, but much less annoying than having to deal with MS.
It's both fun and frustrating learning how to operate it.
This should be emblazoned somewhere in the initial Linux setup. I'm not in tech by trade, just a hobbyist nerd, and playing with Linux is like if a soulslike game were an OS. I had a terrible time figuring out how to get both monitors to work but eventually did and that felt like a huge win when it finally happened. Had an equally bad time trying to figure out how to install some game software but finally got that sorted and it felt like another big victory. But I still dual boot for now because some days I'm just not ready for the heartburn of dealing with my own ignorance in Linux

The logic I always subscribe to is, issues in Linux can be fixed maybe not by you or me but someone at some point in the future. On a long enough timeline we win. Where as it's not an issue with Windows, but a business decision to annoy you and thus can never be fixed.
