Can't wait to graduate so I don't have to run Respondus and keep dealing with this crap

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

If the computer is owned by a company or institution they shouldn’t see this anyway. They should either be using Microsoft work or school accounts or they should be using local accounts and the admin should set the required registry settings for them.

I think that they could be using their own computer but they have to use Windows to be able to use whatever Respondus is.

That would be nice. Our admins don't bother with anything like this, but they also block me from fixing things.
