This is a problem with a lot of the anti-cheat software which doesn't support running under emulation. AFAIK it's on the Civ team to fix this, not Windows.
Emulation on ARM can be tricky, especially for newer or more demanding games like Civ7. Patience and keeping everything up-to-date is key. Reporting bugs like you did is super helpful—they might improve the compatibility layer or release updates to fix these issues.
While more common on Linux, some users experiment with compatibility layers like Wine or Proton, but this might be complex on Windows ARM.
