What I'm looking for?

Looking for maximum feedback.

It was a nightmare. The latest Windows build caused major issues. First, the Control Vault Firmware driver got stuck and kept asking for a system restart and no matter how many times I restarted the system it never worked.

The fingerprint sensor and facial recognition broke as a result.

I resetted bios settings and cleared tpm and then reinstalled Windows. This time I created a local Windows account. I downloaded my drivers from Dell Supoort on my second laptop and manually installed them one by one.

Now everything seems to be running well. I created a full system backup using Diskimage and I will configure my system.

Currently running MD on default settings.
OSArmor with my own rules
Installed WFC and sat the profile to medium and applied WFC recommended rules. I enabled notifications and enabled secure boot to block internet access at startup.

Now I am using Adguard DNS over HTTPS systemwide and in browser settings.

Using Password Boss web app in an isolated user-defined Vivaldi profile with a desktop shortcut. The isolated profile is store in Appdata and clearing vivaldi data does not clear the isolated profile data (to avoid having to sign in each time I use Password Boss.

Installed Nanazip using winget. I ditched Peazip and it drives OSA crazy. I could have whitelisted it, but chose Nanazip as it is signed.

Installed my copy of Microsoft Office 2024 Standard LTSC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I still have not decided what protection extension to install.

Currently running Vivaldi as my default browser, Waterfox as a secondary browser, and Helium as a playground.
