How does discord read game activities on windows?

Can we achieve this by using WINUI3? And are there any open source projects out there that could achieve the same functionality?

the game talks to discord, not the other way around this is how there are plugins for visual studio etc that add it

yes https://discord.com/developers/docs/rich-presence/best-practices but discord RPC is deprecated, they recommend the sdk now I have used https://github.com/Lachee/discord-rpc-csharp in the past to do custom rich presence but it seems stale

the official discord sdk is probably the way to go https://discord.com/developers/docs/game-sdk/getting-started its worked fine for my game and is fairly easy to setup.
