Avast game mode is a distinct feature that disables some aspects of the antivirus software to free up system resources and improve performance while you are playing games. It can detect and optimize the games you play automatically. It allows for customization, which means you can add specific games to its “whitelist” to ensure that they receive the resources required.
In addition to optimizing PC settings, the game mode blocks background processes and blocks notifications that are triggered by Avast or Windows as well as stops Windows updates to allow you to enjoy your game without interruption. It also optimizes CPU resources and increases them to give you the best gaming experience.
Avast Game Mode, unlike traditional antivirus software is designed specifically for gamers and provides an enhanced gaming experience. Its sophisticated system can detect when a gamer is playing an activity and stops tasks that consume a lot of resources, such as scanning or updating to limit interference. This lets the computer concentrate more of its energy to your game, which results in faster loading times and better gameplay.
It is integrated into the Avast software as a component. It is able to be disabled or activated via its user interface. You can access it by going to User Interface > Settings and selecting “Components”. Then, you can check or uncheck the box next “Game Mode. Even if you turn off Avast’s Game Mode, the real-time security will remain in place.
