What are the maximum security settings after installing Windows 10?

Question

Windows

I have it set up like this:
1) Bios is the latest. Installed programs and Windows 10 are constantly updated. Backup files regularly.
2) Installed kaspersky internet security (including firewall, HIPS), the databases are updated regularly, the settings are maximum.
3) Security settings enabled: SmartScreen, Windows Exploit Protection, UAC.

What else can be configured or installed for security? The computer is mainly used for the Internet (through a configured router).
This question was more than three years ago, maybe something has changed. What security settings do you use after installing Windows?

Answer 1

the most important security setting is the erudition of the user himself . what not to do - for example, install pirated games / software from fallopomyok

Answer 2

Firstly, it is necessary to operate not with a vague concept - "security", but clearly know what you want to protect against.
In general, the most important security setting is the software restriction policy.
No antivirus even came close in terms of efficiency and is simply not needed.

Answer 3

1. Launching any programs (especially browsers!) - only in the "sandbox" Sandboxie .
2. The current user must have minimum rights for daily work.
3. Correctly configured firewall and system policies ( here ) for all users.
Additionally, you can install secure hunter with certification:

Secure Hunter Anti-Malware PRO has just received OPSWAT Certification.

Answer 4

Disable and enable telemetry on bitlocker disk

Answer 5

Nothing changed. Methods - they are for that and methods that rarely change. As always, we start with the question - what is the model of the intruder? So who are you going to protect yourself from?
