Sooner or later, most people are tired when walking all day with a bullet-proof vest. Yes, you can be shot, so do not go to US.

I am already starting to feel naked without my bullet-proof vest. Maybe I will wear the vest but not the helmet...Sooner or later, most people are tired when walking all day with a bullet-proof vest. Yes, you can be shoot, so do not go to US.

You have never-ending problems with that HP printer.

True. This time it reacted differently to the rundll32 issue, and that confused me to no end.

I suggest burning it with fire. I have one also that i stopped using because it's the f*ing devil work.

Indeed it does. But a year ago, Kaspersky was blocking Windows updates. And if you set the firewall to monitor all ports, it will interfere with Dropbox (it took me forever to figure that one out). My point is that there is no end to it. If not one thing, it's another.
I would never give my HP printer fire, because the devil loves fire. I'm just waiting for it to die, so I can buy a Brother.
On Windows systems it will never change. The elegant solution is simply to move to something where you just don't need it all. However, you have to be willing and capable of doing that. If you can't, then you are a hostage victim.

I am unquestionably a hostage because I use niche Hebrew programs that don't work on Linux. But vanilla Windows Defender causes much less issues than advanced security solutions do.
There's a lot of people in similar situations for a variety of reasons.
Then you're stuck and can only do the best you can with what you've got.
If you've tried everything, and nothing works to your satisfaction, then it isn't worth all the frustration. It's a matter of compromising (not trying to use everything at maximum settings and tweakings) or just going with default Windows security - meaning not using anything at all except what ships with Windows in its default "optimum" configuration. I know it is ridiculous, but there it is.

The @shmu26 main problem is MS Office, which is required for document compatibility on his boss computer. MS Office and security are not compatible to each other, so bringing them together will be always painful.
The safest solution to try, would be uninstalling MS Office and use Microsoft Word Online.
But, maybe the simplest solution would be using the previously applied security + MS Office only for editing, and printing documents form Microsoft Word Mobile.
Another solution would be reverting to the previous security that worked well (except printing), and buying the new printer. The best choice would be the printer that could work with Windows 10 default drivers.

I just got a brilliant idea !!!
Your boss needs a Chromebook. That would be a great gift on his birthday.
He probably will buy another one for your birthday, so both of you will be safe.

You are crazy to use Windows over a Chromebook unless you actually need to use Windows. Chromebook attack surface is much lower when you strip out using Android applications.
That being said, there are some nice features on Windows like only allowing UWP, etc.

@shmu26 - you might think about trying DrWeb 12. There is hidden stuff not in the marketing materials. You can ping me about it on our private channel if you wish.
