Windows 10: Sick of windows defender's gluttony

Hi all For like 3 fucking weeks now, I have been unable to multi-task at all due to antimalware service executable chomping up my disk Constantly at like 20% and then spikes to 80%...WHEN I'M TRYING TO PLAY GAMES THAT NEED MY DISK I used to use avast before sometime last year I had basically the same problem of it eating all the fucking resources If anyone could help with this that would be great, since everything else only talks about scheduling scans differently (I did that, didn't do shit)
