I've been using ESET for several years after I dumped McAffee, Norton and the like. I don't have any problems with ESET with any of my apps, including BBW 2016 and several prior. ESET shouldn't be a problem as long as it hasn't been specifically misconfigured...even if it were, the messages the OP is listing wouldn't be ESET messages. And if ESET were blocking execution of bbw.exe or plug-ins, it will show up in the event logs and/or Quarantine of ESET.

Was BB installed installed with the default settings and locations (it wasn't clear if the OP installed with all defaults?

Suggest checking the Windows application Error Logs (Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer) and look for errors on the BBW.exe app or related plugins (e.g, Sample Tank). But, if you can print out the Windows Event Viewer logs relative to any of the BBW components, that may provide additional info to those here in the forum (and especially to Peter).

A word of caution...introducing Windows 10 to the situation may just present new challenges, given that it (Windows 10) won't be a clean install, but rather an upgrade.
