learningexp's config

[learningexp]

I'm using Windows Firewall Control.
2FA for most of my sites.
Most of Windows 10 hardening tips from Harden Windows 10 - A Security Guide. How to secure Windows 10
Don't use BitLocker.
Have never used an Antivirus and still dont feel the need for it. No infections since more than a decade.

Enable UAC to at least default and preferably Max.
Apart from that you have a secure config. Congrats on an infection free system for 10 years! If it ain't broke don't fix it
Thanks for sharing your config

User Account Control is a Windows protection system. Thanks to it, the changes that may affect the stability or the security of Windows, require one more step before being applied.
As mentioned above, it is important to activate it as an additional security layer.

@learningexp: I tagged temporally Your config as Caution, until You change/enable at least Your UAC settings.

Thanks for sharing

Why UAC disabled? It can be fundamental to avoid infections!

Add HTTPS Everywhere.

Thanks for sharing.

No UAC = insecure config. Otherwise a nice setup
I would keep the Malwarebytes as only on-demand though and also add EEK as on-demand scanner.

OK guys, thanks for your input, I adjusted the UAC to default.
@rockstarrocks - is there a reason for why should I disable realtime protection of MB? Is win defender enough or is there another reason?

@learningexp: please kindly reflect Your change editing the 1st post, and I'll change Your tag, thanks

In my experience MB uses too much resources, especially cpu. I tried it few months ago, don't know what's the current status is.
In place of MB I would have used a default deny solution like VS, SAP or CFW (with CS config).

MB version 3 is quite light on cpu, indeed earlier versions were quite demanding during scans.
Thanks for the thread tool tips, edited.
