What the hell are you doing to get malware? I have never had a virus ever. And I only keep Windows Defender running in the background. Though I doubt I'd even need that. Bloatware – yes. Uninstall it once and it's gone. Once or twice a year a new thing might pop up. Uninstall that and be done with it. Do you really have to manage drivers or is that just on old wives' tale? I sure as hell don't manage drivers. Windows Update will install any driver I need automatically. Only driver I upgrade manually is GPU a couple times a year when there is a new game that can take advantage of it. Really, that whole driver story is just a bunch of lies since at least Windows 10.
