So what are my options on windows? I just know about patched clients on Android

Probably wait until the adblockers update their filters to block YouTube's attempt to block the adblockers. Twitch tried to do the same thing, and now there's add-ons specifically designed to block that purple banner.

Use Firefox, and all the same adblockers as always.

uBlock Origin to be more specific.

anything owned by eyeo (which now includes non-Origin uBlock alongside AdBlock and AdBlock Plus) will probably consider these "acceptable ads" after not at all getting bribed by google, and the rest are quite literally malware (except a small handful)

Paste link to VLC, mpv, other media player. Also Freetube and the sort work.
