Game Mode can be activated from the Game bar. To use Game Mode, make sure it’s turned on for each game you play.

To turn on Game Mode:
- Press Windows + G to pull up the Game bar
- Click Settings
- The new Game Mode option will appear, to enable the feature on a per-title basis
- Check the box to enable Game Mode for the specific title; once checked, Windows 10 will save this enablement setting for future use. Important note: if at any time you wish to disable Game Mode, you will need to reverse this step (un-check the per-title enablement within the Game bar) in order to deactivate it.
- If the game is already running Game Mode, the check box will already be selected.*

With the Creators Update, Game Mode is enabled system-wide by default. To view or change this setting at any time:
- Go to Start, and click on “Settings”
- Select “Gaming” from the settings menu (the Xbox logo)
- Select “Game Mode” from the left-hand menu.
Have a great week!
