I’ve just been using Windows Defender, but the number of false positives and the lack of autonomy in dealing with them is making me wanna look elsewhere.

Defender can be bypassed with a simple Powershell script iirc, so it can be trivial for malware to stay undetected from Windows Defender. While it’s good enough for most people, if you’re concerned with security I would suggest either Malware Bytes or Bit defender instead. At least, I heard both of those are decent. If not them, just avoid Norton and McAfee like the plague since you would rather just deal with malware than them
You need to explicitly grant the script admin access or have totally disabled UAC, which already punches a large hole through Windows’ security model. Malware that’s in that situation doesn’t need to block Defender to do harm.
