Kaspersky Free

How to reserve operating system resources for computer games

When Kaspersky Free 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 Free distract the user from the gaming process;

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

To enable Gaming mode:

1. Open the main application window of Kaspersky Free.
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.
