System Security Hub turns broad “security” into small, repeatable actions. Each card takes 3–5 minutes, and you can stop when stability returns. The modules cover update discipline, permission fit, storage hygiene, browser sanity, network A/B checks, and backups that actually restore—no scare tactics and no pushy add-ons.
Enable automatic updates for apps and the system. Larger patches deserve a calm window with power connected. Restart after installation and run a quick check on your two most-used apps. If behavior feels odd, try one more reboot before changing settings.
Match access to intent: camera, mic, precise location, contacts, and files should default to “allow only while using the app.” Hide sensitive notification previews on the lock screen and keep “special access” (overlays, admin rights) limited to a tiny, trusted set.
Keep 10–20% free so installs and caching don’t stall. Delete old installers and exports. Move large media to dated folders (year/month) for faster cleanup later.
Many page issues are profile issues. Test in a private window or a fresh profile to bypass cached data and extensions. Maintain a lean add-on set and clear site storage quarterly for heavy services.
Repeat the same action on Wi-Fi and cellular (or another Wi-Fi). If a failure is path-specific, focus on local rules, DNS, or congestion instead of reinstalling apps.
Backups count when they restore. Maintain two copies—cloud + local drive—and perform a tiny restore now (one photo or document). Label drives and store them safely. If encryption is used, verify you can actually unlock the backup.
Trim auto-start apps to reduce prompts and speed reboots. Re-enable items one by one while testing.
Silence nonessential channels rather than muting whole apps. Keep alerts relevant so you actually notice the important ones.
After major browser updates, sign out/in for affected services to refresh tokens and permissions that may have gone stale.
Usually not. Built-in settings and these modules handle most routine issues.
No. It only changes how the system starts.
No. Repair re-applies components; a reset wipes personal data and settings.
