How to turn on or off Game Mode in Windows 10
Game Mode option in Windows 10 aims to improve computer performance when playing video games. This is accomplished by the fact that when you run a game, Windows detects it and allocates computer resources to the game instead of background programs. Also, all updates will be stopped as long as you are in the game.
Performance improvements are generally very small, and there are plenty of reports saying that games perform worse when Game Mode is on. One argument for keeping Game Mode off is that if you like listening to podcasts or music on YouTube while playing, this can lead to video stuttering.
