I was thinking, mbam, have you got other suggestions for Windows 10? Also, is there a good setup for when I'm running games I bought, and I don't need active scanning of threats? (Especially for legit games that use resources intensively)

In recent years I'm very disappointed at antivirus software. I use a paid one, but I'm careful enough to not get into trouble, and they don't alert for spyware/stalkerware and adware, but report and autodelete every single crack and keygen as their own category on the sole basis that they might be more risky.

At least it's less resource intesive, I guess. Or it just knows better when not to do scans, but that shouldn't be that difficult for defender either.
