Asus win11 all locked up but it's on.

15. I really don't think AVG has anything you need.

Windows will keep your drivers current. It's one of the things that happens during the updates.

I have a sophisticated Windows workstation with multiple disk drives and monitors. I have several video and audio editors, office software, printing programs, web development, and so much more. Yet, I generally keep my Windows Defender turned off so it doesn't eat any system resources. I'm walking a tightrope without a net, but I never have problems. Why?

The secrets to being secure ... don't click strange links, don't download unknown software, and don't visit porn or gaming websites.

Also, use only a local account (not an administrator account).

And have backups. Lots of backups. (1) Clone the system drive. (2) Backup the data files. (1&2 are separate operations.)

Security software cannot stop users from doing stupid things.

My backups let me live dangerously. But, for the people I support, I keep the systems as simple as possible with Defender always on.
