Avast Game Mode
Avast game mode is a unique feature that disables some aspects of the antivirus software to free up system resources and enhance performance while you play games. It detects and optimizes the games you play automatically. It also allows for customization so you can add specific games to its whitelist to ensure that they always have the necessary resources.
The game mode optimizes PC settings and disables background processes, mutes notifications from Avast, Windows, and stops Windows Updates to allow you to play without interruption. Furthermore, it will prioritize CPU resources for your game and makes the most use of them to ensure you’re having the best gaming experience.
Contrary to conventional antivirus software, Avast Game Mode is specifically designed for gamers, allowing gamers with a more enjoyable gaming experience. Its smart system recognizes when a person is playing an online game and suspends tasks that consume a lot of resources, such as scanning or updating to minimize interference. This allows the computer to allocate more resources to the game, resulting in faster loading times and improved game play.
The game mode is available as a component of the Avast software, and can be enabled or disabling via its user interface. It is accessible by going to User Interface Settings, then selecting “Components”. Then you can select or uncheck the box following ‘Game Mode. It is important to know that if you disable the Game Mode, Avast’s real-time protection will remain in effect.
