Microsoft Posts Guide to Windows 10 Creators Update Gaming Features
With the recent launch of the Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft decided to make a quick reference guide to the gaming related features on one of its employee blog sites, majornelson.com. Of the things covered, streaming features via it's Beam game recording service (a recent Microsoft acquisition) took the front stage. Also covered was Game Mode, that mode that promises to eek more performance out of your video game of choice via shuffling around of processes and prioritization changes. Of course, the numerous sub-settings and other little gaming related features in the update are covered in the blog entry as well.If this sounds interesting to you, then this is probably good reading material and I'd advise you to read the complete guide. Check the source link to this article to get the full article. If you are more interested in the Creators Update as a whole and a guide to the various notable features in it besides just the gaming ones? I'll have an (admittedly much overdue) article on that no later than tomorrow. Watch this space.

But i bet he will when he gets the time.
All the same, you will have a hands-on tomorrow. I don't know if there are any plans for actual benchmarks later however or if that is completely axed.
Sorry MS, but you and gaming just don't mix, stop trying, leave it at DirectX and stick to your silly console.
Nothing you've set gets removed, added, and/or set back to the default settings for the Creator's Update.
Dunno, I used to use Game Mode in avast! which I think does similar things as Windows one. Seems the same since framerate differences are tiny and non perceivable anyway.
GFWL v2, here we come.
avast! Game Mode sets game priority to high, sets power plan to high performance and pauses all scheduled system tasks, operations, updates as well as its own operations like scheduled scans, updating and warnings. It's by far not "just hides popups". It does that by default for any full screen app...
"If the manufacturer set up your PC to run from a compressed Windows image file and included an option to restore factory settings, the “Restore factory settings” option will be removed after you upgrade to Windows 10, but other recovery options are still available. The “Restore factory settings” option is not supported in Windows 10 on compressed operating systems"
EDIT Doing the upgrade clean install now to 15063
