Hello, my PC is running windows 10, and whenever I run a game that requires a lot of system resources I get a BSOD, usually with a different error message. This has been going on for months now and I just cannot understand what is causing the issue, I believe it may be a hardware issue motherboard or CPU but want to find out before i go replacing any parts.Attached are my dump files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_6mX_j1ESW4wIPdQpYiimRNtfxk80CZ0/view?usp=sharingAny help is greatly appreciated.Many thanks :

Windows 10 game DVR has high contrast.

Hi Avinash,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



If you are signed into an Xbox account in Windows 10 you can stop Xbox DVR from running by opening the Xbox app.

I recommend you to follow the methods given below.



Method 1:

• I suggest you to update the graphic drivers of the computer and check if it helps.
  
  Refer to this
  Link, to update the drivers.
  

Method 2:

• Open Settings
  
• Click on Gaming
  
• Click on Game DVR
  
• Under the “Recorded audio,” use
  Audio quality drop-down and select 192kbps
  
• Under “Recorded Video,” select the
  60FPS Option
  
• On “Video quality” select
  High
  

Once you complete the steps, Game DVR will record game in at 60 FPS with up yo 1080p resolution depending on the game.





Hope it helps.

help me create an script to run games on high performance

Open a command prompt and run this command:

powercfg /list

On my computer I get the following output:

Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e (Balanced) *
Power Scheme GUID: 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c (High performance)
Power Scheme GUID: a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a (Power saver)

The asterisk indicates that "Balanced" is the active configuration.

Now, create a batch file with the following lines:

Code:

NOTE: In the first line specify the string associated with the "High performance" mode from the "powercfg /list" command. It may be different than mine. On the 3rd line, use that which is associated with "Balanced".

For the command to run your game, you may have to specify the full path. You may want to simply right-click a shortcut that you have for the game and select properties. On the "shortcut" tab, note the command in the "Target" field. Use that.

In theory, I think that should work. Try it and let me know!

 

Unable to run a game on Windows 10.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

- When you say 'ive tried troubleshooting', what are you referring to?

- Did you check in compatibility mode?

I suggest to run the game in compatibility mode by following the steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Right click on the ‘Setup’ icon for the game and click on properties.
  
• 
  Under Compatibility tab, check the option for ‘Run in Compatibility mode’.
  
• 
  Select Windows 8.1 from the drop down list.
  
• 
  Click on Apply and then OK.
  

Please revert with all the necessary information and we will be happy to help you.
