    Game Mode cause problems with key pressing / movment in games (slow or broken key reaction...


    I have something crucial to add to my previous topic which is locked.


    TL;DR

    You need to:

    -set explorer.exe priority to above high or high (depends on a game) [don't close explorer.exe during gaming with Game Mode enabled)

    and also (at least in FH3)

    - go to taskmgr and in Service Host: Remote Procedure Call>details>set priority>above normal

    - sometimes you also need to lower your details

    - sometimes you also need to lock your FPS to 30


    ...

    How the problem looks like?


    You try to turn using arrows e.g. while driving, and the key is registered with delay. The same for accelerate key bound to some letter.

    Or you try to move, but you can't, or it is difficult. Key registering is not constant, and instant.


    When the problem occurs?


    When the game mode is run probably on units with slow CPUs.

    It was fixed by setting explorer.exe to high/above normal and one of svhost.exe to above normal.

    The problem can be also triggered by closing explorer.exe during the game, while with game mode turned off, explorer could be closed without causing the problem.

    The other thing triggering the issue was changing game application priority to higher than "normal" (even with explorer set to "high").


    I encountered the problem in various games like: BF V beta, FH3, FH4 demo.


    Actually it's also shame that when we close explorer.exe after UWP app launch (e.g. from relevant command in CMD.exe), which fixes FH3/4 crashes for some people, OS becomes unresponsible. There is only black screen on game exit, and we cannot launch explorer.exe manually then. We need to log off via ALT+CTRL+DEL (good that at least that thing works).

    I also don't quite like the thing in 1809, that game mode was deleted from game bar. Now it needs to be disabled/enable in Windows Settings>Gaming>Game Mode, instead of Win+G in the game, and pressing button.

    :)

  3. Game Mode Win10

    Hi,

    Game Mode is automatically enabled to some games only. There are some games that require you to manually enable Game Mode before you can use this feature on your Windows 10 device.

    To manually turn on Game Mode, you can follow the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key on your keyboard + G.
    • Select Settings.
    • In the General tab, select the check box for Game Mode.

    If you have any other queries, feel free to post your concerns here anytime.

    Disable game mode


    Other than
    which doesn't open a game bar, is there another way to disable? Some kind of workaround?
