I'm genially intrigued, how to achieve this, assuming you are on standard Windows Defender setup, not some 3 AV/DLP tools working at the same time on system.

My setup/config has NOTHING special usually - got laptop(s), start bundled Windows (10/11) Pro, run "reset this PC" to ensure fresh like install, use for several years. No magical steps involved or whatever "bloatware cleanup" people do.



Having had this conversation with Linux users 100x, I've come to the conclusion that some people are just cursed. Me, I use Windows and have never run into the kind of boondoggles that they swear were common occurrences for them: Drivers breaking on update, BSODs, two-hour-long-forced-updates, etc. etc. It just... never happens. Maybe I'm the one that's blessed.
