Unfortunately, Game Mode only improves gaming performance by a few percentage points.Įven so, some of you will experience a greater performance boost than others. It's particularly useful if you have a lot of background apps that are dragging down a resource-intensive program. It's only supposed to be used for games, but you can activate it whenever you need to get a little burst of speed. To enable Game Mode (it's only available in Windows 10 Creators Update) open Settings > Gaming and choose Game Mode. However, you must first enable Game Mode. There's no way to perpetually run in Game Mode, unfortunately, but you can activate it by pressing Windows Key + G. The latest version of Windows 10, the Creators Update, adds a new feature known as Game Mode.
