Use Game Mode while gaming on your Windows device
When you use Game Mode, Windows prioritizes your gaming experience by turning things off in the background. When you’re running a game, Game Mode:
- Prevents Windows Update from performing driver installations and sending restart notifications
- Helps achieve a more stable frame rate depending on the specific game and system
To turn Game Mode on or off:
- Press the Start button , type Settings in the search box, and then select Settings.
- Choose Gaming > Game Mode.
- Turn Game Mode On or Off.
