Can I force my Windows laptop Thunderbolt 4 port to device/gadget mode?

I am building something where I need to connect my macbook and windows laptop via a USB C. macOS will be the host device and Windows will be the receiving one. I checked the device manager and it says I only have host controllers. Attaching a screenshot as well. It's an Asus VivoBook S 14 OLED. Is there any software, driver, or other method to force a Thunderbolt port into device mode, or is this a physical limitation set by the manufacturer that cannot be changed? I want Windows to act as device mode. Both devices have Thunderbolt 4 ports.
