Let us know. Got a tip? Windows has six priorities: low, below normal, normal, above normal, high, and realtime. Most processes launch at 'normal' priority, which means the OS will treat them relatively equally. A process running at a higher priority will get more resources than lower priority tasks, but it will only get those resources if it needs them—so a high or realtime priority process that's not doing anything won't bog down your system.

Game Mode changes things in some fuzzy fashion, allocating specific CPU cores to the game and leaving other cores for the remaining processes, and likely altering priority levels. Microsoft is a bit nebulous on what it's doing right now, and there are 'planned additions' to Game Mode in the future. Right now, my testing shows that Game Mode has some small benefits on a low-end CPU and some disturbing results on a high-end CPU—it killed background video playback on a system that could easily handle playing a game and a video simultaneously with Game Mode disabled.

A quick primer, for the uninitiated. Enabling Game Mode is a two-step process. First you need to turn it on in the Windows Settings area, but you also need to enable it for each game as well. FYI, some systems only seem to show the Game Bar if the game is running in borderless window or windowed mode.

The good news is you don't need to exit and restart the game—the effect is almost immediate. Here's what I did for testing Game Mode this round. Every classic game, all the old games, and even Steam games can be found here!
