Game Mode: All game mode rules are turned off by default (this setting is reloaded after restart)
For me, since this release it's the exact opposite - I turn off "make games higher priority", restart my pc and it's enabled again. In fact, everything is enabled by default. Quite annoying.
By the way, making games higher priority is NOT a good solution, see here:
https://bitsum.com/how-probalance-works/For reference I'll quote:
The foreground process is that which has the keyboard and mouse focus. This means there is only ever one foreground process at a time, per user session. Windows already applies foreground boosting by giving the foreground thread longer time slices. Further increasing the priority of the foreground process and/or the specific foreground thread is not only ineffective, but harmful. Remember, giving a process a higher priority does not mean it will run faster. It simply means if several processes are active at once, it will have a higher precedence. However, if any single process has too high a precedence over other processes, as foreground boosting would result in, complications can occur. This is partly because of the additional (and now very high) CPU priority ‘skew’ between the process and its dependencies.
And of course I've tested for myself, and that statement is true. When my game gets a higher priority, my internet adapter is getting throttled - so not enough pings go out / come in. Also, stuff like macros from mice / keyboards are only working with a huge delay.
