Windows 10 will no longer bother us with notifications in game mode

There are many reasons to consider with the Windows 10 October Update, with new tools such as “Your Phone” for Android and iOS phones, software support for DirectX Ray Tracing (DXR) and the addition of 'Dark mode'. Among many of the novelties is the 'Game Mode' and how the system behaves while you are playing.

Windows 10 October Update introduces changes to Game Mode

Users of the latest Windows 10 update will receive “Fewer game interruptions” when 'Game Mode' is enabled, as the operating system will now block the Windows Update driver automatically when entering this mode, for so there will be certain notifications that we will no longer receive, such as system reboot notifications.

Windows 10 users who don't like Game Mode will be able to disable it in the Settings menu.

Fewer gaming interruptions according to Microsoft

'' Based on player feedback, we have simplified the operation of 'Game Mode'. Now automatically enabled for all games with a master on / off button in Windows Settings, Game Mode suppresses the Windows Update driver installation and blocks Windows Update interruptions such as restart notifications while you are playing. You may also see an improvement in game performance with less FPS variability depending on the game and the specific system. ''

The promises of higher performance must always be taken with tweezers, Microsoft promised something similar when I include this mode and the reality is that the FPS does not vary practically anything, although it can help to free up background system processes and save some memory RAM, but not much more. About receiving fewer notifications while we play is a very welcome news.
