I have configured my downloads to reside on D: drive and KFA blocks anything suspicious on another drive besides C:. Had it removed and switched to WD.
Yes, I switched from KRT to KRD since KRT failed to install on infected system years ago wherein the system was mine which I infected it myself using some samples and KRT failed.
KRD 2019 detects NVme disk and Optimus GPU.
Removed:
Visual Studio 2015 community edition and it took hell of time and bloat to cleanup in folders and registry. Even NVidia CUDA 9.2 development edition was removed.
Downloaded:
Build 523 using WHDownloader which is in the process of testing if it can be applied or skipped using MS DEFCON from Ask woody.
Added:
Adobe flash update for Edge and FF.
Migrated every drivers from Legacy to UWD.
Bug list:
Build 472 introduced a rare lockscreen where keyboard and mouse does not pull up lockscreen wallaper and inputted password isn't seen and everything happens so late even with NVMe drive.
Workaround: Removing VS 2015, re-creating registry using reg compressor seems to have reduced it but not fixed completely.

A bit of dilemma:
After I reported a bug on BD Traffic Light and which wasn't resolved, BD team decided to give a no-restriction 6 months of BD TS 2019 5 devices pack, should I install it?

I think you should try it at least. See how it behaves on your system. When it works it's pretty lightweight suite.
Personally I wouldn't. BD really either hates me or my system, whenever I install it, it's buggy. Updates takes like 1-2 minutes every hour with 100% disk usage, it would become unresponsive until update is finished. Even reported this to support staff 2-3 times, they always say it's not a bug. Well other AV using BD sigs update pretty fine on the same system in seconda too.
That's what I heard. Let's see how it runs.
@rockstarrocks I installed BD TS 2019 on my sister's laptop and guess what, it consume too much CPU cycles, more RAM, always buggy UI, blocked Windows updates from installing with BSOD. I emailed their tech support and let's see what happens.

You'll only know if you try it and see how it flies on your pc. I loved BD Free until it cut out wi-fi connection, which would require multiple restarts to correct. It happened at least a few times in the month I used it. It used a bit of RAM but updated fine and scanned quick. Oh, and SSL scanning blocked a few safe sites, with no settings options.

Tech support is pretty much useless, last time I reported the update bug and they said upgrade to ssd. I said other AVs using BD signatures like Emsisoft does not have this problem. I thought they would ask for logs and stuff, I was ready even for remote desktop connection, but naah. Pretty much useless.
I won't install it on my PC just because it has SSD. I installed KFA Free 2019 on 8 year old laptop and it just flies.I installed it on mine and I didn't feel there was an AV.
I uninstalled it and switched to WD configured with Configure Defender. BD was buggy 10 years ago and now its same.
That is why I am also sticking to v1803. In India mostly users have 1.5 GB daily limit (jio effect).
Groove doesn't have many options to configure. Though I use AIMP instead of MusicBee due to its skins
.Same thing on airtel too. BTW, because of my FIOS ISP never allowed downloading huge files even after they doubled the data I switched to Jio and airtel!That is why I am also sticking to v1803. In India mostly users have 1.5 GB daily limit (jio effect).

Some entries in 'Defender high settings' are in Audit mode. If you do not plan to use them in the future, then set them to Disabled (no Audit alerts).
Some options in audit mode was set to enabled. I did disable USB protection to protection for signed/unsigned apps because I use USB drives frequently. Other than that everything is optimised for medium to high custom settings.Some entries in 'Defender high settings' are in Audit mode.
