Game mode

When Kaspersky Free runs in full-screen mode together with some other applications (particularly computer games), the following issues may occur:

• Application or game performance decreases due to lack of system resources;
• Notification windows of Kaspersky Free distract the user from the gaming process.

To avoid changing the settings of Kaspersky Free manually every time you switch to full-screen mode, you can use Game mode. If Game mode is being used and you are playing or working with applications in full-screen mode, Kaspersky Free does not run scan and update tasks and does not display notifications.

To enable Game mode:

1. Open the main application window.
2. Click in the lower part of the main window.

   This opens the Settings window.

3. Go to Performance settings → PC performance optimization.
4. Select the Game Mode check box.

As long as the Game Mode is enabled, you will also not see notifications from Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection and Kaspersky Password Manager applications installed on the same device.
