Surely, some of you already had to deal with the fact that game mode does not turn on in Windows 10 even though you could use various methods, which are often told on the Internet. It is for this reason that we decided to address this issue today, as it is increasingly on the "agenda" of a huge number of PC users who want to play computer games on their not very modern PCs and laptops. In addition, the relevance of the game mode again became for most of us with great demand for the reason that with the latest update of the Win 10 system, its developers have updated and functional capabilities using the unique "Game Mode" application.
What is the game mode in Windows 10?
Considering Game Mode in the next generation operating system, it's worth noting that the add-on for the system itself is unique, at least due to the fact that it has the ability to provide virtually any user with some additional FPS during the game. The only thing that needs to be considered here is that the increase in FPS in each individual case can be different, since all computers are themselves different due to the hardware installed in them and the gaming applications launched on them.
We also note that "Game Mode" is not some innovative addition, which is something new, but some "Application Editor", which is brought to an automated state, which allows it to exclude all unnecessary backgrounds in a specific time interval applications to free up additional operational capabilities to maximize the increase in FPS in a particular game.
How to enable game mode in Windows 10?
The initial step on your part should be to go to the Start menu, where you can find a small gear icon located in the lower left corner of the monitor screen. Now, you must go to the section called "Games", and from there, go to the item called "Game Mode".
We draw your attention to the fact that you have installed the version of the operating system version 1703, then in this case you can see the switch "Use the game mode", which must be moved to the "On" position.
If your operating system has version 1709, then in this case, you will notice a message that can notify you that there is an opportunity to use the game mode on your system. It should also be noted that if you have outdated drivers installed, they will need to be updated, but without the use of the Device Manager, since in this case, only the official site of the driver manufacturer should be used.
Now, you should go to the section with the name of the game menu and already there to make sure that the switch "Record game clips, take screenshots and broadcast them using the game menu" is in the "On" position, since if it is in "Off", then we will not be able to do anything.
Now, you need to contact the gaming application and launch it, as soon as the game is launched, you will need to refer to the so-called "Game game menu", which opens with the "Win + G" shortcut.
In the opened menu, you should be interested only in the settings that can be accessed through one click of the left mouse button on the icon that looks like a gear and located on the right side of the menu. Once you get into the "Settings", you will need to check the box "Use the game mode for this game".
In some versions of Windows 10 operating systems that have the update version 1709 or higher, you can not use the "Settings" icon, but immediately click on the game mode icon that is located on the right side of the menu and looks like a small car speedometer. In this case, you just click on this "Game Mode" icon and it becomes active automatically.
In order for the changes to take effect and you did not notice that the game mode is not included in Windows 10, you must close the game application, and then restart it. If all of the above recommendations you have been correctly executed, then when the game application is launched again, the game mode will become active in the automatic mode, but only for a specific game. Thus, you have the opportunity to apply the "Game Mode" for each individual game at a time when you need it.
And finally, I would like to note the following... If you for some reason need to disable the game mode in Windows 10, then in this case, you must perform all the above actions, but only to the contrary, since you will not have to turn on, but turn off the individual system options.
