Windows 10: Turn On or Off TruePlay for Gaming in Windows 10

How to: Turn On or Off TruePlay for Gaming in Windows 10


Information Gaming is more fun when everyone plays fairly. Windows will share system info with games using TruPlay to make sure everything runs the way is was meant to.

TruePlay, formerly called Game Monitor, provides developers with a new set of tools to combat cheating within their PC games.

A game enrolled in TruePlay will run in a protected process, which mitigates a class of common attacks. Additionally, a Windows service will monitor gaming sessions for behaviors and manipulations that are common in cheating scenarios. These data will be collected, and alerts will be generated only when cheating behavior appears to be occurring. To ensure and protect customer privacy while preventing false positives, these data are only shared with developers after processing has determined cheating is likely to have occurred.

The TruePlay APIs for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) allow limited interaction between games and the game monitoring system on Windows 10 PCs.

Windows 10 Settings --> Gaming --> "TruePlay"

Hi All,

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!

I have a question about one of the settings of Windows 10.

In the "Gaming" section of "Windows 10 Settings" there is a sub section called "TruePlay". What, exactly, is "TruePlay" and what, exactly, does it, "TruePlay", do? The "Get help" link only takes you to a window with a few selections on it, including
"Microsoft’s virtual support agent", that have nothing to do with the "TruePlay" setting in "Windows Gaming Settings".

Please see the image below if you have a question about the setting I am talking about.





Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

Windows 10 Settings --> Gaming --> "TruePlay"

Hi Richard,

TruePlay is one of the features of Windows 10 which is basically meant to function as an anti-cheat process for most of the games you can play on your system. There are a lot of anti-fraudulent programs created by different developers, nevertheless, TruePlay
has been the mark of these kind of software since it is the very first owned by Microsoft.

Just like any other anti-cheat programs out in the market, TruePlay promotes fair play on each gaming applications, and it helps protect player accounts for accidental ban due to detected malicious activity on games even if you are not cheating. Most of
games nowadays will require these kind of features, the reason why it does say on the description that some of the games may not be available if this is turned off.

With this being said, we recommend that you take advantage of this feature for your own safety. Not only you are helping yourself protect your accounts from being accidentally banned, but also helping us sniff out those who are going against Fair Play policies.
We have a rather technical article of what TruePlay is and how does it work. Please feel free to use this link as your reference:

Microsoft Developer Network (Windows Development Center | Graphics and Gaming) - TruePlay.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

Brandon, there is more about it here:

Your hardware may not support it or it's just not working for you. It seems it's not fully reliable or even accomplishes what they intended.

What is it you need it for exactly? There may be another way to accomplish it that's more stable.
