[Gamer Mode: Why there's no shortcut/hotkey way to activate it?]

Getting back to Gamer-mode though.

In summary, we'd like easier access to it.

I assume it's hidden to enhance security, ie not make it easy to manually or automatically activate?

Is this purely a design choice, or could it actually be moved/made now accessible?

Oh, ok I got it backwards by the looks. Not 100% sure what I've done then! Apologies for not replying sooner.

 

Cheers

I've only just installed this software, but I think I'm slowly teaching it.

1st couple times, I only clicked "Ignore", assuming it would exclude that file. I was a little confused by having to click "Clean" with the correct tick boxes checked and unchecked.

I guess I'll see it less and less now, so problem kinda solving itself to a degree.

Thx Marcos

1. I run in windowed mode, so it doesn't auto activate

2. In my case, there was a potential threat pop-up (crypto mining software I use). No screenshot available sorry.

I guess I could turn off real-time protection scans, but prefer to have convenient access to gamer mode (in a perfect world!)

Cheers

What issues are you having when gamer mode is deactivated while playing games?

I'm having issues with sim racing. Alerts pop up during a race, causing chaos for me, and other drivers around me (I have a broadcasted race on YouTube to prove it!). Also, it remains on top.

I recently purchased a 5 device version of Eset, but now I'm trying to sort out this Gamer mode issue.

I run my sim (iRacing) in windowed mode fyi. A shortcut key, or at least a Taskbar quick-enable would be useful to say the least.

Same goes for any other application you don't want pop-ups in (ie streaming or capturing video)
