Wrong section and also: why would you want to do this?

Make some sort of batch script that checks the date, and if it's the date you want, force to delete system32. Then place it in your startup folder.

Might as well download a ransomware and let it execute on a certain date.

Yes, this will do it. Some improvements, use JScript or VBScript and use something different to screw with the system. System32 and basically all Windows system files are NTFS and WPF protected, so they're untouchable with conventional methods.

Plenty "crack/leak" sites are bad enough to allow such activity on their forums.
Pretty sure some ransomware can just disable the entire PC, but the easiest route would probably just be a RAT now I think about it.

Find a way to corrupt .exe extensions with registry keys, that way no exe will run.

I would look into using the Registry to block particular programs from being allowed to run....
