Preventing Windows from seeing/tampering with linux drive

Is there a way to prevent a Windows 10/11 system to access/modify/delete data from a secondary linux drive?

I understand I can encrypt the linux drive, but wouldn't the windows system be still able to see the drive, and a potential malware or ransomware can still destroy the data on it, right?

I would like to use 2 nvme drives for this on a modern platform, something like x570 or z690.

I think this would be an easily solvable problem if I used a sata ssd for the linux system, because then I could easily disconnect it when I'm using windows, but I really like the snappiness of an nvme under linux.

Anyone thinking about virtualising windows under linux, I tried it, and hated it - even with real hardware passed through I wasn't getting the full performance.
