* Upgraded to Windows 11 Home
* Went back to Kaspersky Security Cloud Free.
* Replaced EaseUS ToDo Free with AOMEI Backupper PRO from the giveaway from this Forum.
* Removed Neuman Data Sentinel. ( Finally got annoyed that I could not remove restore points when I wanted. :) )

And a question... What the heck do they mean with "Integrity of recovery plan", Is that a new thing in Windows 11 Home and other versions?

It's asking whether your backup method has been tried and tested, how many times, etc.

Ah, so if I tested AOMEI already? If so then yes, I made a backup already and I made that WinPE environment when booting my Desktop. I also have used AOMEI Backupper Standard in the past.

I decided to give Microsoft Defender a chance, so I removed KSC Free and activated Microsoft Defender. I started using Andy Ful's ConfigureDefender with the high preset, and I also activated Controlled Folder Access. Otherwise I just made some small changes to my profile here.
