Default Windows audio out to go thru a vst in reaper...how to?

Every other post/thread/video i found is for just recording audio.

I need the main windows out to go thru a track with vst processing inside reaper in real time. JUST FOR LISTENING/MONITORING in real time not for recording. I repeat...LISTENING/MONITORING only.

This video explains something kinda similar but it is for RECORDING the windows out which is what i DONT want and if you monitor using this method it creates a weird echo sound.

Im using an audient id44 (ASIO drivers) on windows 10

That is called loopback recording, check if your audio interface can do that internally, otherwise you would need to make in using cables from the output of the mains to line Inputs of your audio interface.
Refer to your audio interface manufacturer and check if that is possible. Not a reaper issue.

There's virtual audio cable software for that too, such as VoiceMeeter. But since you need monitoring on in Reaper to hear the fx, you need to make sure the audio is not coming out the same outputs that you route into the track or you'll get feedback.

My Audio interface (Focusrite Saffire Pro 40) has loopback and I use it often for some things, but when I'm using Windows Audio I connect with an optical cable to one of the digital inputs (most modern...e.g. i7 computers) have built in optical outputs on the soundcard or motherboard. Even my Dell laptop has optical output. You might check it out, because it's much simpler with lower latency than loopback (although the Focusrite software dumps the loopback before going to the mixer so it is pretty snappy...I'll bet your Audient, being newer has a solution)
