Suggestions on the main improvements
Log-in Security disabled??
User Access Control -> Always Notify
User Access Control -> Always Notify
I've changed UAC to Always Notify.
As for Log-in Security, I use 2FA on sites/services that are important to me but I don't use any password/log-in to access my PC.
Then edit Your config and enable Biometric, etc. in Log-in Security...
