Nice change, don't see it in your config yet
You could set UAC to always notify. that setting stopped some UAC bypasses.
You could change 7-Zip for Bandizip. Bandizip keeps the mark of the web when extracting archives..

+! with @Gandalf_The_Grey. Nice setup!

 

[imuade]

Thanks guys, I moved to KSCF especially because of the web protection and the better integration with Windows security center.
I tried Bandizip before, but I didn't like it too much, I think 7zip is more user friendly.
About UAC, I'll try

EDIT

First feedback after a couple of days of use.
SAP is very light on my system, even lighter than Avast.
Only yesterday, after installing the latest Windows updates KB4517211 ( OS Build 18362.387 ), the Application Whitelisting Service spiked for a while (maybe it was updating the whitelist with the new Windows files).
APEX does register in Windows Security Center, but the status is unavailable and I got a lot of errors "Event ID 17 - Security Center failed to validate caller with error DC040780" (like, one every minute)
@sap
Is there any way to avoid these errors?

Update 06/10/2019
Back to Blocksi Web Filter since I got some problems with Bitdefender Trafficlight (I have seen several people saying the same).
Added Windows Defender Browser Protection too

How did you setup Bloksi?

got some problems with Bitdefender Trafficlight (I have seen several people saying the same).

I wonder if it has to do with GDPR because no issues I'm aware of in U.S.

How did you setup Bloksi?

I set it to warn about malware, unethical and unrated websites. The reason why I prefer to warn instead of blocking is that the block page advertises blocksi router

It could be

Update 08/10/2019
Replaced SecureAPlus with Windows Defender (I read people saying it's lighter on Windows 10 1903, so I wanted to give it a try).
Replaced Bandizip with Explzh (Bandizip becoming ad-supported is a no-go for me)

Why not just 7zip? stick to the basics.

Because it doesn't keep the mark of the web upon extraction

ah yes, true.
