Avast Game Mode

Avast game mode is an exclusive feature that disables certain aspects of the antivirus software to free up system resources and increase performance when you are playing games. It automatically detects games that you play and optimizes them to give them the best performance. It allows customization, so you can add certain games to its “whitelist” to ensure that they always receive the resources they require.

The game mode optimizes PC settings and blocks background processes, blocks notifications from Avast, Windows, and pauses Windows Updates to let you play uninterrupted. It also makes use of CPU resources and maximizes their use to provide you with the best gaming experience.

Avast Game Mode, unlike traditional antivirus software, is designed specifically for gamers and provides 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 minimize interference. This lets the computer concentrate more of its energy to your game, which results in quicker loading times and more enjoyable game play.

It is accessible in the Avast software as a part of the program and can be activated or disabled via its user interface. It can be found by going to User Interface > Settings after which you can select ‘Components’ and selecting or removing the checkbox next to the word ‘Game Mode’. It this website is important to note that even if you deactivate the Game Mode, Avast’s real-time protection remains active.
