With the current drivers in Windows 10, disabling the preamp is
automatic. One configures the level control in the Sound Control
Panel (Recording) to display in dB ... any setting above 0 dB
enables the preamp, any setting below 0 dB disables the preamp.
I assume the change had propagated to Windows 8.1 before it ended
mainstream support in January but I would not expect it in Windows
XP, NT, 2000 or any other version of Windows that has been out of
"mainstream" support for several years (obsolete).

That issue is not with Windows ... it is with the device maker who
has selected a device that identifies as microphone level. Using
the proper device/device ID will cause Windows to see it as a line
level input and set the drivers correctly.
That can be debated, no other OS (MacOS/Linux/*BSD) identifies it as a
microphone. And why is there no clear option to enable/disable the "software
pre-amp" in Windows?
On the filter discussion; I have (apart from FM filter) 2.8 KHz filters and
400 Hz filters. Very pleased with that. I am not a contester so I want the
full SSB bandwidth, mainly for waterfall view in digital modes. 2.8 KHz
because I couldn't be bothered with filter matching in main and sub
receiver...
400 Hz is kind of the smallest BW usable for digital modes anyway. If you want
to go tighter than that (for CW or possibly PSK31), use the DSP filter is my
advice.
