Do Not Disturb Mode

Do Not Disturb Mode improves the performance of your PC while you play games by adjusting system settings and disabling unnecessary apps from running in the background. Each time you run a game, Do Not Disturb Mode automatically detects it and adds it to a list of game entries. When you run games on this list of entries, Do Not Disturb Mode automatically launches.
