Your system is nowhere close to “secure by design, and secure by default”.
I check all my disabled settings after every patch Tuesday because several mysteriously revert to enabled on a random basis. gpedit.msc on my home edition setup being a prime example of the opposite; it’s regularly disabled again after patch tuesdays and then I can’t disable other settings without it.
