The most used operating system in the world is Microsoft's Windows 10. Such a system has a large number of built-in functions that consume resources and are of little use. One of the possibilities offered by the Windows 10 operating system is the so-called Game Mode or Game Mode. We are going to explain what Game Mode is and how you can deactivate it.
Note that Game Mode is natively integrated into Windows 10 and that it is activated by default. A mode, on the other hand, that offers nothing different from NVIDIA GeForce Experience and AMD Adrenaline software.

What is Game Mode in Windows 10
Basically it is a function embedded in Windows 10 that detects when we are running a game. When it detects that we are launching a game, it takes priority over third applications that consume resources. Come on, which gives priority to the game over the processor and the graphics in depressing of the post manager or browser, For example.
The resources of a computer, such as the processor, RAM, graphics, etc., are shared between all applications and games simultaneously. The Game Mode establishes that the game has priority over the rest of the applications. Even this mode has the ability to paralyze other non-essential services.
Additionally, the Game Mode within Windows 10 has a lot to do with the 'game bar'. This additional function offers special tools for recording and broadcasting the games. It allows to capture the audio of the microphone and even the image of a webcam.
What is the 'Game' mode for in Windows 10
This mode has been developed to allocate more resources to the games and therefore, that they work better. If we have browsers, mail management, Skype or other applications in the background, it limits the amount of resources to use. Even applications. Applications such as Microsoft's Cloud system are now deactivated so that they do not consume resources
The problem with Game Mode is that it does not always meet this problem and that is that in the three years that it has been implemented, it has caused several problems. Even working properly, no results have been seen to really justify this tool.

Another thing we can do is disable the 'Game Bar' to appear. If we have other tools, such as those from NVIDIA and AMD, those are better. In case we want it active, we leave it as is. It also allows us to configure the different shortcuts to taste.
We will also find a 'Captures' area where we can change the folder where the captures or recorded videos are saved. Additionally, it allows us to activate recording in the background and set the length in time of the recording.
Finally we have a retransmission section that allows us to adjust a large number of parameters. It allows you to record audio, define the broadcast language or add the camera to our broadcasts.
