What is Game Mode?

Game Mode is a special mode within Windows 11/10 that gives your game processes priority over all others, with the idea that the game will run faster with fewer performance problems and provide the best and most stable framerate for your PC. It also temporarily prevents Windows Update from installing drivers or asking to restart your PC to install updates in the middle of a game. Microsoft introduced the gaming feature as part of the Windows 10 Creators Update in 2017. In rare cases, it can cause performance issues.
