How to reserve operating system resources for computer games

When Kaspersky 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 distract the user from the gaming process;

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

To enable Gaming mode:

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

   The Settings window opens.

3. Go to Performance settings → PC resource consumption.
4. Select the Game mode check box.

You can also select the Do not Disturb Mode check box. In this mode, you do not see notifications if you're actively working in some applications, also scan and update tasks are not started.
