Collecting telemetry, including a GPU usage chart in Task Manager, optimizing every aspect to offer inexpensive tablets, and then claiming it's perfect for gamers while secretly undermining them, repeatedly.
I support this condition as long as it preserves essential elements like safety protocols or doesn’t significantly disrupt my routine. Any reduction in core needs should naturally enhance the premium aspects.
didn't mention it was problematic, just noting it wasn't a focus for gamers. But reflecting a bit, whenever I hear "Microsoft" and "optimizing UI for gamers," it reminds me of adding controller support in MS Paint.
The only gaming-related idea I recall from around 1709 is "gaming mode." Microsoft didn’t really promote it heavily. Perhaps I came across more practical tech sources that avoid exaggerated claims.
According to what I've heard, gaming mode primarily boosts priority for game-related tasks during execution. It seems designed with gaming in mind, featuring elements like the Xbox App built-in, DVR function, and a dedicated game bar. Given Windows' significant market presence—around 90%—I think aligning with developers makes sense. That said, I still enjoy Linux for all aspects except gaming.
It functions best with titles bought from the Windows Store. Games built on Win32 offer minimal improvement since they lack extra layers. Even then, on a strong machine, Game Mode provides little gain as your processor is already capable of handling the extra load.
It makes sense given your setup. Your PC likely benefits from upgrading to a more capable processor. Windows tends to consume a lot of resources, especially with an APU configuration where memory is shared between CPU and GPU. This can impact performance in games and cause unexpected CPU usage.
It seems you believe the opposite of what most people think. With an ASUS Transformer T100 running Windows 8, 8.1, and 10, everything performed well despite its hardware limitations. Even Firefox worked fairly smoothly. Regarding memory usage, higher idle RAM tends to mean more Windows consumes it because page tables grow larger. However, unnecessary apps and services likely contributed, as I was able to keep Windows 10 around 990MB on a 16GB idle space after removing many components.
