Does anybody know of an app that will disable all the windows services not needed when gaming, then enable them again when you say so? I use my machine as a workstation and also gaming rig.
Windows does it by default using game mode, also some antiviruses and third party software.
Turn On or Off Game Mode in Windows 10
Avast Antivirus: Game Mode
Wise Game Booster
Interesting, thanks. I actually turned gamebar off I think as it seemed useless and the pop ups annoyed me.
EDIT: Game Mode is enabled. It was Game Bar I turned off.
It depends on the service. Third-party GMs and 'Boosters' can cause issues when they start disabling important Windows services, (learnt from experience). GM is already enabled as default by Microsoft on Windows 10, there's really no reason to download other programs to clutter up your system for this imo. Considering that it's a Microsoft feature on a Microsoft operatingsystem that is constantly changing, they should know better what services that can be turned off or on than the others. Game Mode is also made for low-end systems anyway, you will barely notice a difference on your specs, if at all, when enabled. If by services you mean notifications and overlays, it's better to just do it manually, like what you did with Game Bar.
BullGuard also as Game Booster.
Game mode was added on build 1903, I think as I’ve never come across it before.
