@Sundaram999: please kindly consider:
  • Why not W10 RS5 (1809) ?
  • As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free and Norton Power Eraser, HitMan.Pro Free and MalWareBytes 4 Windows Free.
  • As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
  • Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices, or in cloud.
  • As for "Web Privacy", You may add a VPN service.
  • A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.
  • Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here.
Thanks for sharing Your config :giggle:

Please use a backup solution as this is a fundamental part of security for the OS, ransomware and your personal files.

For second opinion scanner(s) you can use:
  • Malwarebytes Anti Malware - deals with adware & PUP
  • Zemana Anti Malware (Portable or non-portable) - worms & everything else
  • Norton Power Eraser - when you know there's an infection on the machine
  • Emsisoft Emergency Kit - great for everything
Thanks for sharing, the rest of your config looks great!
