Maybe I might be alone with that opinion, but you should give M$ Defender a try, w/ Configure Defender by @AndyFul set to "high", if your internet connection is good, as M$ Defender takes most detections from the cloud, though I have seen it's BB in action, too.
Using it @ Windows 11, combined with Evorim Free Firewall. I found very few malwares which slipped trough, but were prevented calling out by the Firewall.
Very very seldom, I managed to get an AutoRun.
That said, I have been loading many signed malware and scriptors, most of the time, not a single one went trough (today and yesterday: 0).
You might add AppCheck AntiRansomware.

Runs very smooth w/ no delays, my startup time is 5.5s w/ the mentioned firewall. One note on Defender: It's buggy w/ the Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml detection - cosmetic bug though. It blocks the download of the respective script file (it can even check inside a password-protected archive while downloading!), still asks for an action (delete or quarantine), although the file never arrived on the machine. However, the warning did solve itself after some time / reboot. Known bug according to my web research, not yet resolved.
EDIT:
Machine details as follows:
ASUS R558U
Intel i5-7200 U @ 2,5 GHz (7th gen.)
Nvidia Geforce 940 Mx GPU
8 GB RAM (no details available at the moment, stock config)
1 TB HDD + 128 GB SSD
Steam files are located @ D://
Opinions on that are very welcome, though maybe in another thread, as this one is on BD engine equipped AVs. Mods might want to move that thread part maybe.
