First you need to enable UAC to at least default.
You need to consider some type of system and data backup solution such as those free options already suggested.
CCleaner is more than enough I would consider replacing AVG PC Tuneup with CCleaner at some point in time.
Thanks for sharing your config :)

Are you aware of the Risks and Limitations to Windows 10, once you have disabled User Access Control?
By HTG: Why You Shouldn’t Disable User Account Control (UAC) in Windows

TechNet - What's New for UAC in Window 10: User Account Control (Windows 10)
"User Account Control (UAC) is a fundamental component of Microsoft's overall security vision. UAC helps mitigate the impact of malware."

Protection


Emsisoft offer complete protection with Emsisoft Internet Security. If you are interested you can Upgrade - this will disable and replace Windows Firewall with their own.

Backup/Restore

When you backup your data, do you store it online, offline or both? In case of emergency, have you attempted to restore your data and how easy and successful was the process?

Hi! All great additions are already discussed above.
I would suggest adding 'Bitdefender TrafficLight' to Firefox for some more browsing protection over uBlock.

Lastly, you can set OS Updates to automatic (for automatic bug, vulnerabilities fixing etc.) or keep checking for updates regularly.

Why did you chose to disable UAC prior to suggestions? How is your current experience with UAC enabled?
I tought it should be boring because i install many software
And now i have changed it to default and understand that it is cool:)
