That is a nice config!: EAM + ZAM :D

Just some suggestions ...

You need a means to monitor outbound connections. This is your current config's most serious weakness. I recommend BiniSoft's Windows Firewall Control. $10 Lifetime/un-limited installs.

Add some form of backup, preferably incremental. I suggest AOMEI Free as it will do everything you will need.

Consider encryption software if you will actually use it. VeraCrypt is open-source freeware and worth a look.

Maybe use CCleaner once in a while to tidy-up all the temp files.

I like your configuration style...

Only what is needed.

Thanks for all the comments; i will consider all suggestions. :)

Shortly:

1) Enable UAC
2) CCleaner or similar software
3) BackUp / Cloud (100 GB OneDrive) or External Drive (i have one, but it is full)

@yigido sağ olun, hoş bulduk. :) VHS kasetlerinden kalan İngilizce işe yaramadığı için yıllardır Google çeviriyle idare ediyorum ve çok zorlanıyorum. Bir Türk görmek sevindirici.
