Nice setup. Consider RunBySmartscreen for added file check protection. 
Edit: I see you're using Edge Beta. Why not use Edge Dev instead to get more frequent updates? I find it very stable.

At some point I ran into a stability/compatibility issue. I honestly don’t even remember what it was. But I’m not a browser super user these days. So beta works. I actually only browse on my pc a couple days a week since I don’t work from home as much anymore. My phone is where the bulk of browsing happens, which is Firefox for now.Nice setup. Consider RunBySmartscreen for added file check protection.

There does seem to be a theme... lots of setups with Windows Defender and Andy's H_C or CD.
And for good reason... it's a super effective enhanced capability with the best 'support' in the business.
I totally forgot about HWiNFO. I need to try that again..
And especially on my older computers.. I like OSArmor too. It's not as in vogue around here as it was at one time.
Well.......... I have nothing to add.
Looks pretty good to me

Decided to add a note on the Gryphon router. I have found it to be well worth the cost, secure and a beast of a router.

For Firefox I dropped uBlock since I don't do any custom rules. Trying out Just Malwarebytes Browser Guard, their adblocking works well enough and Firefox picks up the rest of the trackers. I've noticed little change in browser speed, but I don't jump site to site constantly so it probably doesn't matter anyway.

I brought uBlock Origin back on board for Firefox. Malwarebytes works fine, but it still misses blocking ads that uBO doesn't.

Well I went to rollback to an image from a couple weeks ago because Emsisoft found a pup and I wasn't sure what it was or how it got there. Brilliant me went to reimagine with Macrium, not realizing I deleted the wrong folder last week on my backup drive and lost my base image. So when it went to install the differential it couldn’t find the base, but it had already formatted the drive. So...fresh install for me!

To be clear I am not blaming Macrium. Just sleep deprivation and distraction from having no daycare while we work from home with the looming current events. Thankfully my mom is helping us out now, but boy I screwed up on this one haha.

Could it be Lack-O-Hops?
Years ago I went to Turtle Mountain (pretty sure that's what it was called).
Maybe some 'Vitamin H' would help you.
