Game Mode can also stop Windows Update from installing driver updates or showing notifications during gameplay.
When enabled, Windows prioritizes processor and graphics card resources to your game. That is where Game Mode steps in and tries to squeeze every bit of performance from your Windows computer. Then comes a fight with the boss at the end of the level you are on, and the framerate drops, the game becomes less responsive, and you lose the fight because your Windows computer could not handle things well. If you are a gamer, you certainly know what this is all about: you play a game, and it runs smoothly for some time. What does “consistent gaming experience” mean? Microsoft says that it is about avoiding extreme slowdowns and frustratingly low framerates. You can view more information in this presentation video that Microsoft released back in 2017: According to Microsoft, it was designed to do two things: increase the frames per second you get in games and offer a more consistent gaming experience. Game Mode was created to help boost performance in games, regardless of your computer’s age or hardware configuration.
