Make sure that those things are no longer scanning Steam and its folders, they're not going to contain viruses. The scanning process can interfere with a lot of games though, and often enough throw false positives when you have a new game.
Also though, make sure that your computer is cool and clean, and is not overheating. Better safe than sorry if it's not just the scanner doing its thing.

I notice, the Steam's downloads bar sometimes flicker but I'm currently not download anything.
I think Microsoft or Valve broke something ...
In my case it happened the most on Tekken 7.
that's ... what I said already. It's not a mystery. It's your system trying to scan the folders and interrupting things. Turn the scanners off while you're playing at the very least.
Google those things, with "whitelist" and be sure of what you're doing before you do it. I'm sure there are videos on exactly how to achieve it for any given system and program. Usually (?) during setup you have an opportunity to add 'do not scan' areas or files to the program. But again it'll depend on exactly what your system is like first, because it may vary from OS to OS and certainly from different types of scanners.
Weird - I thought it was just me or just the one or two games I've played lately, but they did just start doing this around the same time. On my end it's "Star Traders: Frontiers." There's suddenly a huge lag whenever switching screens, like calling up the main menu during play (it actually appears overlaid on the game window rather than actually changing the screen) or even just transitioning after a hyperwarp jump - a full on freeze and then all is normal again.
Whenever I launch a game there's the Steam Overlay notification in the lower right and the Discord Overlay notification in the upper left, and the Discord one tends to flicker an awful lot while it's visible. Again, I've been assuming it was just the specific games (one of which is a port from Android, the other intended for older versions of Windows).
One of those allows dragging in-game windows around inside the game, like repositioning inventory or crafting windows. When dragging toward the right edge of the screen (either dual-screen or single-screen display per Windows config) the white Windows mouse cursor actually appears on top of the red in-game mouse cursor, and the window won't drag anymore. It then has to be drug back toward the left before the window can be interacted with. Again, I assumed it was because the game is meant for a way older version of Windows.
I know my drivers are up to date and I'm fairly confident that Windows Defender isn't responsible. The whole drive Steam resides on is marked as ignore.
Just because somebody else is having the same issue doesn't convince me that either of my game issues are related, or that either one is related to theirs, but it sure makes me wonder. I think Steam did push a platform update just a day or so ago, didn't it?
It has something to do with Windows or Steam.
How do you mean, games that haven't yet gone live? It'd be rather odd to see that have any effect on this.
Can you play with a resource monitor or your task manager open to see whether there's something specific going on at that time?
Recently, I have Gears 5 pre-load downloaded.
From that point onward, the download bar said: "Update schedule in: [3 or 5] minutes". And it keep updating something for Gears 5 in every 3-5 minutes (Before release).
The update completed in a split second. And then it schedule for the next one ... yes, every 3-5 minutes but it doesn't download anything, it just show up and then completed in split second, like a flash.
And this freeze while playing problem start kicking in just after I pre-load Gears 5 in my PC.
Maybe some pre-load glitches.
It actually makes scene.
Good news: Gears 5 came out today and the pre-load glitch I describe above is gone, so far Gears 5 run smoothly without any freeze.
Let me check Tekken 7 again and report back to you guys.
