Don't know about game mode, updates are the ones for 14393, so, yes you can update them, up till 2026 iirc
Nope, it doesn't have Game Mode, which doesn't work at all anyway according to benchmarks. However, LTSB has that thing called "Game DVR", which lets you to record videos from video games, i don't use it personally so i removed it.
Actually game mode is a cancer for gamers. Strongly suggest to have it disabled. Same with game bar, dvr, etc.
It's possible that Enterprise LTSC 2018 will have Game Mode included, it should be released in the fall 2018, we just need to wait and see.
Weird, im on Google Chrome with uBlock Origin + newest version of ESET Internet Security and nothing here, it must be something on your side, but yeah, your method seems even better, i will edit my post.
I'm pretty sure it does disable it! But you know, commands must be run in Command Prompt (admin), scripts must be right-click - Run as administrator, and user must log off / reboot to take effect
I've never had GameDVR cause any problem and it is actually a handy screen capture tool, though very basic like any MS junk, but I very rarely use video capture so it works fine for me, if I do decide to use it. Also you can turn it on in your browser (record yo p0rn!) and check "Remember this is a game" and record all sorts of stuff other than games. Anyway, I use these two registry files as a toggle on/off for it and that has worked great for me. GameDVR Disable: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore] "GameDVR_Enabled"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR] "AudioCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000000 "AppCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000000 GameDVR Enable (default): Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore] "GameDVR_Enabled"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR] "AudioCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000001 "AppCaptureEnabled"=dword:00000001
