Looks good I recommend changing anything IoBit related with something else live Revro Uninstaller Pro. :) Also setting updates to automatic is a good thing to do as well.

Many Thanks for suggestion, I was edit the post to add Hitman.Pro Alert for Exploit Protection, For OS Update i was set manual because i have one more laptops and limited bandwidth and internet speed For this, i use Windows Update Minitool for download update and DISM for install an update on every laptops :)

Looks good for me,just add Malwarebyte Anti-Exploit Pro/Free.
ESET has an Exploit Blocker.
While ESET’s scanning engine covers exploits that appear in malformed document files and Network Attack Protection targets the communication level, the Exploit Blocker technology blocks the exploitation process itself.
Exploit Blocker monitors typically exploitable applications (browsers, document readers, email clients, Flash, Java, and more) and instead of just aiming at particular CVE identifiers it focuses on exploitation techniques. When triggered, the behavior of the process is analyzed and, if it is considered suspicious, the threat may be blocked immediately on the machine.
This technology is under constant development, new methods of detection are added regularly to cover new exploitation techniques.

For the complete description see the white paper.
ESET Technology | Continually developing leading-edge protection

Looks good to me, but one remark: HitmanPro.Alert is a realtime anti-exploit protection and not on demand scanner ;)

Great Point, HitManPro.Alert (active anti-exploit program) contains a 1-click button for HitmanPro to download and scan the PC in the GUI (and when exploits are blocked it immediately offers to scan).

HitmanPro.Alert: Active
HitManPro: On-demand scanner

Otherwise, with ESET and Zemana it looks good.


Windows Update:
*You may want to set a calendar or Outlook reminder for the 2nd Tuesday (Patch Tuesday) of every month to remember to run Windows update (best done in the evening). The day after is a good choice too. Flash Player, Browsers and some things such as Java and Adobe Reader tend to update on or near these times to help streamline the deployment process.

Welcome to the forums.

I like your config! I would recommend 2 things for Keepass.
Browser extension:
I'm not sure if you use it because I couldn't find in the extension list but Keefox is superior compared to chromeIpass.
In-built search and list.
Database backup:
I strongly recommend to use 1 more cloud backup like Dropbox or GoogleDrive. Two backups are better than a single one!
I would also turn off auto sync option if you wanna use desktop app because ransomwares can encrypt the database and the app will sync them. I prefer no desktop apps and only manual sync of keepass database.

That's all :)

For now I not use any above extension, but i use "Perform Auto-Type" feature in keepas, so i can't manually retype if want to login, And for DB i cannot autosync with OneDrive desktop client, i use "KeeAnywhere" the Keepass plugin for load DB directly from my OneDrive:)

I see you utilize the ability to defer windows upgrades in the Pro version, which still allows security patches, not a bad thing, sometimes they rush a little to fast dropping those. From what i have just read here, this is a very solid configuration, only thing i would change is where you store Keepass, as i would use the portable version and have it stored externally instead of the cloud.
