I have UAC and LUA both disabled. I don't know from
ransomware protection. Win10 never bugs
me. If anything does, I hunt it down and kill it without
mercy. But I like to work without interruption. I don't like
potholes in the road. You seem to prefer luxuriating in
indignation. Given that, it seems to me that whatever
you paid for Win10 was a bargain. If used properly, Win10
can provide endless indignation fun for the whole family. :)
