Excellent new config. You did great work on the changes!
Some comments/remarks and some optional tips:
► I recommend you configure COMODO Firewall to suit your personal needs for security (by making custom changes to its settings as needed), and, most importantly, make sure you set COMODO Firewall to the "Proactive Security" configuration before you make any changes to its settings. The "Proactive Security" configuration offers stricter security policies, while it does not reduce the overall usability of the software.
If you have already made changes to the configuration of CFW without using the Proactive Security configuration, then you can export the current configuration as a backup, and then safely activate Proactive Security.
► ToolWiz TimeFreeze is great global file system virtualization software (are you using the free version?). A great alternative, in case you ever need to try something else, is Shadow Defender.
► I was very impressed with your idea to run Tor Browser in a sandbox! Integrated anonymity online, and excellent protection locally - Awesome!
► I also can't wait for a stable (or a new BETA version) of NVTERP... Keep an eye on this thread on Wilders Security Forums for updates from developer, if you are not doing so already.
► As always, make sure you have a system image of a known good state of your system (created with AOMEI Backupper Standard), so that you can use the system image to restore that exact state, in case of a disaster (I'm sure you've already done this, I'm just leaving this here as a reminder like I always do )
It's honestly find it very hard to recommend you anything right now. You've got the vast majority (if not all) of possible security layers covered with solid software.
Great config overall, and great update @XavierGaming. One of the best I've seen on MalwareTips.

Thank you, @DracusNarcrym, I've been working and testing free softwares for weeks in my virtualbox. I'm already using Proactive Security and modified it to fit my needs and turn HIPS off when installing software; HIPS is quite annoying when you install software.
I use ToolWiz TimeFreeze for system wide sandboxing because it's free although I only use it when rarely browsing.
I have a clean backup of Windows 10 64x on my USB and I have backup schedules all done using AOMEI.
Backup Schedule:
Duplicate hard drive once a month
Image system weekly
