Use Game Mode while gaming on your PC
When you use Game Mode, Windows prioritizes your gaming experience. 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, then select Settings.
- Choose Gaming > Game Mode.
- Turn Game Mode On or Off.

Note: Game Mode is on by default.
