If you like to play games and use Windows Defender, make sure you enable Windows Game mode (in the game, press the Windows key + G). This will make sure that Defender does not use too much CPU when the game is running. Doing this fixed the stuttering I was having in-game, because Defender was using a lot of CPU (scanning I guess).
I suspect that other AV programs are not as well behaved and ignore Windows game mode.
