GameMode Windows 10

When playing demanding game or running various resource-heavy applications, it is important to ensure your PC is not being slowed down by processes running in the background.

GameMode Windows 10 is a lightweight utility designed to help you disable various Windows services that are often unnecessary. However, while it features a fairly minimalistic UI, the program is not particularly intuitive.

The application works by modifying various registry values in order to disable services that some users find to be unnecessary. These may be using a significant amount of resources, and the difference is likely to be noticeable when running demanding games.

Among the services you can disable, we can mention Telemetry, Cortana, Windows Defender, Runtime Broker, Notifications, Superfetch and Indexing.

Sadly, while the program is certainly not very complex, it is worth noting that no instructions are provided to help first-time users determine which services can or should be disabled.

The process itself is not particularly straightforward, as it is unclear whether or not a reboot is required after modifying certain registry values. Again, a user manual would have been very helpful in this scenario.

No installation procedure is required, as the application can be launched as soon as it has been downloaded. Naturally, this means GameMode Windows 10 is very easy to deploy, and it can even be run from portable storage devices.

The software does not store data in other locations on your computer, so you do not need to worry about it leaving any traces behind once it is deleted.

In conclusion, GameMode Windows 10 is a handy software utility that makes it possible to enable or disable various Windows services, the purpose being to improve system performance. It is not very intuitive, however, and it does not offer any documentation.
