What use is KVRT as 2nd opinion scanner with Kaspersky IS installed?
"I do not participate in malware testing"
"Risk factors: Downloading malware samples"
Which one is it?
Do you download malware samples directly to Host OS without any VM?

Big downgrade: switch to Windows 10 LTSC from Windows 11 23H2
I don't like Windows 11 24H2 at all Full of bugs. For stability I choose Windows 10 LTSC.

Are you still using cloudflare warp? And If so do you Have Any problems with it?

Very rarely I used Warp now. No problem as such.
Windscribe Vpn is my go to solution.

I have a current issue with WARP.
I pretty sure it's either Kaspersky or WFC doing shenanigans.
Edit:
What do you miss out on when using LTSC?

LTSB/LTSC has none of the Windows Store garbage, none of the Cortana garbage and none of the silly 'consumer experience' crap. Its built for stability. LTSC does not keep pace with hardware, feature and security enhancements
Example: Windows Defender ATP [Advanced Threat Protection]
Independent Hardware and Software Vendor support and limitations on LTSC
Non-security operating system fixes and enhancements may not get back-ported
LTSC does not support ConfigMgr Express Updates.The LTSC is designed for devices and use cases where features and functionality will not change.
