Disabled IPv6, Telemetry, WSH, some services. Removed Powershell, Windows features except NET Framework.
I limited apps to connect only to their retrospective IPs to avoid malicious redirects, like in the CCleaner's case.
Browser is allowed to connect via HTTPS, Steam is forced to use HTTPS, emails are opened via webmail.
I use PatchMyPC/DriverEasy to keep software/drivers updated + Softpedia's Notifier for the rest.
Anti-ransomware - backup folder - denied access to SYSTEM, Users permissions are set to read only.
I turn off PC with Wise Cleaners + tweaks, to remove startup entries/policies and to restore my settings.
Browser's cache, Desktop, Downloads and Temp folders are stored in the RAMDisk, where malware likes to hide.
In case of an emergency (ransomware) I can hit Reset and Windows will boot with all those reset to the previous state.
Adguard
Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control
Windows Calm Edition
Note to myself, why I can not ever use AdGuard DNS
