Avast game mode is a special feature that disables certain aspects of the antivirus software to free up system resources and increase performance when you play games. It automatically detects games you unveil and optimizes their performance to ensure they get the best performance possible. It is customizable, meaning you can add certain games to its “whitelist” to ensure that they always receive the resources needed.
The game mode optimizes PC settings and disables background processes, blocks notifications from Avast, Windows, and pauses Windows Updates to allow you to play uninterrupted. Additionally, it gives priority to CPU resources for your game and makes the most of these resources to ensure that you’re getting the best gaming experience.
Avast Game Mode, unlike traditional antivirus software, is designed specifically for gamers and provides gamers with a more enjoyable gaming experience. Its system is intelligent and can tell when it is playing a game and suspends resource-intensive tasks like updates or scans to minimize interference. This lets your computer focus its resources on your games, leading to faster loading times and more enjoyable game play.
The game mode is available as a component of Avast software and can be activated or disabling via its user interface. It is accessible by going to User Interface Settings, then selecting “Components”. Then, you can check or uncheck the box that appears next to ‘Game Mode. It is important to remember that even if you deactivate the Game Mode, Avast’s real-time protection is still in place.
