Is there a recommended antivirus or firewall configuration for optimal Rockstar Games Launcher performance?

While it's important to have antivirus and firewall protection, overly aggressive settings can interfere with the launcher. Temporarily disabling your antivirus/firewall (with caution) can help determine if they are causing the problem. Adding exceptions for the Rockstar Games Launcher executable and related files in your antivirus/firewall settings is generally recommended.
