asking ChatGPT listed these:

I would like to know more, to understand if it is enough that in Process exclusion list there is only <critical_system_processes> or if it is better that I also have to add these manually or others

Here's the full list that Windhawk uses: https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk/blob/7a483b458d63ce256201ccfc50dc6d5cbffbc03e/src/windhawk/engine/critical_processes.h

All of the processes that you listed are there except explorer.exe, which is a common target for customizations.
