Well BD was kind of short lived. Had another crash while just on the internet. Also there is a definite slow down on my PC for multiple things. Logging in, opening apps, etc. Back to WD for now with DefenderUI. Config above has been updated.
Too bad , here on my 3 systems no slowdowns or crashes.

If WD is not causing any problems stick with it. Use it at high settings and since you're already using SWH you're good to go. You could try windows firewall hardening (if you're using windows firewall) to further lock down your computer from fileless malware

I am not sure that I will use it in the long term, we shall see.
