    Gaming mode keeps turning on even though it is disabled - This happened after upgrade to...


    I keep going into the settings - to confirm that gaming mode is set to off. However it is constantly turning on - and I am not runnning any games at all - ever.It turns on randomly - but quite often when a web page has a video on it.I would really appreciate any suggestions

    :)

    Game Mode keeps turning off on Windows 11, Game Mode is disabled.

    I have gone in my settings and turned game mode off (settings>gaming>game mode then turned the switch to off) and also followed the steps I found in this answer Redirecting which are:

    1) Press Windows logo key + R and type ‘regedit’ and press Enter.
    2) Then locate and select the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\GameBar
    3) Double-click on AllowAutoGameMode and AutoGameModeEnabled DWORD file
    4) Find Value Data and change the value to 0
    5) Restart the PC

    When I followed those steps, the value in step 4 was already set to 0. However, when I am playing a game, game mode will still turn on and off, causing my game to stutter. This is getting very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

    I also did this:

    1) Press Windows logo key + R and type ‘regedit’ and press Enter.

    2) Then locate and select the following registry subkey:Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\ApplicationManagement\AllowGameDVR

    3) Doube-click on value and set it to 1

    But that didn't help either

  3. Disabling Game Mode

    Whenever I play youtube, or a browser game in full screen, Game Mode automatically turns on, and I get a black screen for about a second as it is switching modes. Then a lot of actions can cause it to turn game mode off, so I get the black screen again
    - say, changing the sound volume, or bringing the mouse pointer close to the edge of the screen. Then in another second it's turning game mode on again. And off again. This started happening about a couple months ago, and is extremely distracting, inconvenient,
    and frustrating. All info on disabling game mode, is about going into settings, and turning it off there, but it IS off there. It turns on automatically when I am in full screen. Can anyone suggest a solution? If it matters, I am running Athlon 200 GE processor,
    coupled with Radeon RX 570 graphics card. This is my "media center" PC connected to the TV, and it's been doing everything else fine.

    Disable game mode

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