Another possibility of integrating KIO directly into Windows would be through cfapi: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cfapi/build-a-cloud-file-sync-engine

Why would we need fuse on Windows?

Hi, I was an avid user of Dolphin on KDE4 times, I'd like to share some thoughts ...

No, there's in fact no devices section at all as it would be empty. The live cd itself is marked as ignored as there's nothing useful on there and it can't be ejected and the other layers are mounted from loop devices which udisks apparently ignores as well.

That seems like a bug in the way the devices list is populated or displayed. There can't be no devices, that's silly.

Well, the only mount of interest is the overlay mount of /, which is not backed by any (block) device but rather by two filesystems. AFAICT udisks doesn't care about this kind of mount, not sure what solid does.

Showing an overlay mount as "Device" is also somewhat wrong IMO.

Also, Windows does not allow filenames with either \ or /
