As for the security baseline, just Download it and open MS Security Baseline Windows 11 v23H2.xlsx. the suggestions are on the _Windows 11_ column. Some of the important settings are [VBS](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/hardware-security/system-guard-secure-launch-and-smm-protection#group-policy), [ASR](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/attack-surface-reduction-rules-reference?view=o365-worldwide#attack-surface-reduction-rules-by-type), and Windows defender related settings. Basicly it is a more complete and official security guide than berisgood one.  
also refer to some additional recommendations [here](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/windows-guide/250/157)  
pls note all of my recommendations are from official Microsoft websites. I think they knows their OS best.
