Updated Browser extensions (removed obsolete ones): Don't Track Me Google, Ublock Origin and The Great Suspender (Chrome)/Auto Tab Discard (Firefox)
Removed KIS from gaming system and reverted to ESET Internet Security with tweaks (including importing my HIPS Rules and set as Policy Based mode)
Also using Firefox as the main Browser over Chrome due to memory usage.

7th September 2020 - Reinstalled ESET Internet Security:
ESET: Default Settings + HTTPS checking disabled + HIPS on Smart Mode
Important to note, all but one system are gaming systems mainly, therefore default deny approach is not something I want due to higher maintenance.
Also ESET default settings work fine, but I did disable HTTPS checking. HIPS on Smart Mode will fire an alert on some occasions, easier to maintain over policy based since i have missed a few rules previously and wasted 2 hours trying to figure out what happened.

Been testing for a week extensively on my gaming system Norton Security. Good enough for my needs.
@ZeroDay can confirm they have improved in the latest version in comparison to when I tested performance impact etc.
As for removal, because I do not really get infected, its not a concern. Detection rate wise, the same since I barely download anything and what I do download is from reputable sources.
Out went Kaspersky (license given to a family member instead) and in goes Norton.

One thing I noticed in Norton which is not a show stopper.
Loading recent History for the logs can take some time to populate in comparison to for example other logs.
For those using Norton Security, please let it load.

Update:
After extensive testing in a low end system, I am now happy with WiseVector StopX + Comodo Firewall (cruelsister settings). One thing I disabled in Comodo Firewall was this:
One gaming system is now running Kaspersky Internet Security 21 with my custom settings (published in MT) while the other gaming system is running WiseVector StopX with Comodo Firewall (cruelsister settings).

Windows 10 2004 version is rather a buggy mess in my systems across the board. Also noticed random restarts and slower boot time.
Needless to say, since I have 2004 on 2 systems in less than 10 days (this is the timeframe Microsoft allows you to roll back, granted you havent deleted the windows old folder), I was able to revert back to 1909.
Afterwards, I disabled Windows Automatic Update system (WAU) and using WAU Manager as a replacement.

Systems are now back to normality.

So Windows download and try to install it automatically ?
Cause on 2 PCs in my network Windows show a button for 2004 but doesn't do anything without permission.
Anyway 20H2 is upcoming which include all fixes.

moment i shutdown/reboot i couldn't avoid, yeah.
happened on 2 systems, 3rd one and 4th one however didnt due to the delay I applied previously when I was doing maintenance.
I did give a try but having issues on 2 of my main systems was a no no.
