Game Mode also temporarily prevents Windows Update from installing drivers (which might disrupt your gameplay) or asking to restart your PC. The feature originated with the Windows 10 Creators Update in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Very rarely, Game Mode can <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/try-turning-off-windows-10s-game-mode-if-your-games-are-stuttering-or-freezing\/\">cause performance problems<\/a> when in use. If that\u2019s the case, you can switch it off easily in Settings. Otherwise, you can safely leave Game Mode enabled, because it only activates when Windows 11 detects that you\u2019re playing a game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What is Game Mode in the Windows 10 Creators Update?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Disable_Game_Mode_in_Windows_11\"><\/span>How to Disable Game Mode in Windows 11<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, open Windows Settings by pressing Windows+i.
