Avast game mode is a feature that optimizes your computer’s settings to allow you to play games. It blocks notifications and pauses updates to allow you to focus on the game. It also adjusts PC settings so that gaming takes precedence over other programs that could drain your CPU or slow performance.
You will require lots of resources to play games, like RAM MEMORY, CPU, and GPU. Other recorders or apps can divert these resources from your gaming program, making it slow down or even crash. Avast’s game mode lets you to concentrate solely on video games, by temporarily shutting off background activities and alerting you about any interruptions that could occur.
It also minimizes the impact on gaming performance when you run antivirus scans and upgrades by stopping them and detecting them to prevent interruptions. This can be a major benefit for gamers who don’t want to be forced to stop their game to do regular maintenance or risk getting bitten by viruses while trying to play.
Launch the antivirus program, and then click on the menu button at the top-right corner of the Windows taskbar. Select “Settings” and then switch it on. Enable Game Mode on. A special icon will appear in your system tray once Game Mode is enabled.

However, you may wish to turn off the game mode of Avast at some point because of one of a variety of reasons. This article will explain how to do it via the Avast GUI.
