Avast game mode is an exclusive feature that disables specific aspects of the antivirus program to free up your system resources and enhance performance while you are playing games. It can detect and optimize the games you play automatically. It also supports customization, so that you can add specific games to its whitelist to ensure that they always have the necessary resources.
In addition to optimizing PC settings it also disables background processes, and disables notifications from Avast or Windows, as well as suspends Windows updates to allow you to enjoy your game without interruption. Additionally, it gives priority to CPU resources for your game and makes the most use of these resources to ensure that you’re getting the highest possible gaming experience.
Contrary to conventional antivirus software, Avast Game Mode is specifically made for gamers and offers an enhanced gaming experience. Its smart system can detect when the game is in play and shuts down resource-intensive tasks such as updates or scans to reduce interference. This lets your computer devote its resources to your games, which means faster loading times and more enjoyable gaming.
It is integrated into the Avast software as a component that can be activated or disabled through its user interface. You can access it by going to User Interface > Settings and selecting “Components”. Then you can either check or uncheck the box next to ‘Game Mode. It should be noted that even if you disable the Game Mode, Avast’s real-time protection will remain in effect.
