The only one you can do is change win defender, the options I forget where, but just disable the windows defender service. The autodefrags and such can only be disabled by shutting off the task scheduler service, but that's not recommended, it'll hurt other things. I don't think system restore has much of a configuration to it, other than turning it on and off lol. They should include a manual option or something...
