This is my current config. I have just purchased a Kaspersky plus license so I may be switching to that today I'm not sure. With my current config my system runs extremely smoothly.

Great config, thanks for sharing 
You could drop some periodic malware scanners and keep only the "best": KVRT, NPE and the Sysinternals Suite.
Less extensions means less attack surface and less resources.
I would add when using Microsoft Defender as AV the Microsoft Defender Browser Protection extension.
That way you have Google Safe Browsing, Microsoft SmartScreen and Next DNS.
And drop Malwarebytes browser security, Avira browser safety and Bitdefender traffic light.
uBlock Origin should be enough, especially when also using Next DNS, consider dropping Privacy badger.
If you want even further minimize your config, you could choose between Hard_Configurator and VoodooShield (now CyberLock).

I've removed privacy badger, Avira's web extension and added Microsoft Defender Browser Protection.

I've disabled MS Defender and installed Kaspersky Plus.

When using Kaspersky there is no need for KVRT anymore.
If you use Kaspersky's extension you do not need Microsoft Defender Browser Protection and Bitdefender TrafficLight anymore.

You may also eliminate Hard_Configurator. K is more than enough.

Reinstalled Windows 11. So I decided to make use of most of Windows built in security. I'm no longer using Kaspersky although I may go back to it at some point.
Current config:
Windows defender tweaked through GPedit for maximum protection.
Hard Configurator set for maximum protection.
Smart app control switched on
Malwarebytes Windows firewall control.
Cyberlock.

I know but I like it. And my system is running extremely smoothly.
I think you may have missed a spot
J/k looks pretty well covered and then some.
Hope you have your exceptions set well for maximum compatibility and usability.
I bet he's got an AK-47 disguised as a USB-4.0 drive, a fiery dragon tattoo for intimidation, and a bazooka strapped to his ankle for maximum security!I think you may have missed a spot

Do you mind if I give your ip address to my hacker friends? You need some penetration testing to see your security layers in action !

Infact @Ultimate Vision You can pentest my macbook too if you want to. It's more experience for you and a free audit for me.
