How to reserve operating system resources for computer games

When Kaspersky Total Security 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 Total Security distract the user from the gaming process

To avoid changing the settings of Kaspersky Total Security 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 Total Security does not run scan and update tasks and does not display notifications.

To enable Gaming mode:

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

   The Settings window opens.

3. Select the General section.
4. In the Performance settings block, select the Use Gaming mode check box.
