How to reserve operating system resources

When Kaspersky Small Office Security runs together with some full-screen applications, the following issues may occur:

• Application performance becomes degraded due to lack of system resources
• Notification windows of Kaspersky Small Office Security distract the user

To avoid changing the settings of Kaspersky Small Office Security manually every time you switch to full-screen mode, you can use Focused Work Mode. If Focused Work Mode is being used and you are working with an application in full-screen mode, Kaspersky Small Office Security does not run scan and update tasks and does not display notifications.

To turn on Focused Work Mode in the application settings (automatic):

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 Focused Work Mode check box.

To enable Focused Work Mode manually:

1. Open the main application window.
2. Go to the Performance section.
3. In the Focused Work Mode block, select the number of hours from the drop-down list and click the Turn on button.

   Also, you can enable Focused Work Mode by clicking Turn on Focused Work Mode in the context menu of the application icon.

The Focused Work Mode can be activated manually when the automatic start of this function is configured in the application settings.

As long as the Focused Work Mode or Do Not Disturb mode is enabled, you will also not see notifications from Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection and Kaspersky Password Manager applications installed on the same device.

Kaspersky VPN functionality is not available in some regions.
