Title: Why is Avast switching my Power Schemes and how can I prevent that?
Post by: wate on May 06, 2020, 09:59:44 PM

Title says it all... Avast is constantly switching power schemes on my PC. Since I'm seeing Game CTDs and that's the _only_ thing happening at that point I want it to not do that.

I saw some mention of a Game-Mode in older posts, but I can not find any configuration for that.

Thanks, no way I'd have found that... Any way to turn off "performance mode" globally without turning off the notification suppression?
