I sense that you're among the few who prefer a simpler approach. I don't constantly run antivirus software; in fact, I haven't installed one for years and haven't encountered a virus in a long time. I still occasionally check files. I rely on a solid basic firewall (not Windows' built-in one) and avoid risky websites. A bit of common sense can help build a secure Windows setup without needing resource-heavy tools. As you mentioned, I miss Windows XP and appreciate your perspective. I don't like forced updates that consume large space for little benefit, nor the extra bloat, ads, and intrusive features from Microsoft. I won't use a standard modern Windows version for many reasons, which are just part of my concerns about post-XP systems.
