  3. Questions about 'Game mode' in Windows 10 Creators Update.

    I don't see an answer there. The question was should the Game Bar and then theoretically Game Mode be left on or off? if it gets turned on automatically by a game and stays on, is it devoting memory and processing to a game that's no longer being played?
    In other words do I need to constantly check and see if it's been turned on by a game automatically or will Game Bar turn Game Mode on and off automatically. I found my windows 10 in Game Mode and I don't play games on this machine. So what's the answer?

    Turn On or Off Game Bar in Windows 10

    We have 14 computers on a domain with over 500 users in an over 55 community. We would like to turn off game box at the admin level so none of the users see the game box pop up. This tutorial only turns it off by individual user.
    Can anyone help?

  6. What Gaming icon? - Gone in build 1607 at least.

    Now Settings is at the very bottom, you must locate the nearly invisible scrollbar to expose it.

    Am I the only one annoyed at having full Programs now called "apps" as if they were coded by teenagers for $0.99 download?

    Hello tsunami, *Smile

    For me, the Game Bar (Win+G) process uses the GamePanel.exe file instead.

    Do you have some 3rd party app installed that could be the source of the writer.exe file?
