Is Windows 10 Getting A Game Mode?

Rumours are that Windows 10 may be getting what's being described as a "Game Mode". If it happens it would most likely be part of a future Creators Update.

Theoretically, the gamemode.dll would allocate system resources to prioritise the resources needed by games when in the game mode, which would work in a similar way to the Xbox Operating System. As this is not available yet, there are obviously questions around it. Such as:

Will it work with older games and games from other platforms?

Will it work automatically or will it be something that needs to be manually enabled?

Will it require specific hardware in your setup?

Boosting gaming performance has only got to be a good thing, I think we'll all agree, but time will tell as to how this "Game Mode" will actually work and how it can be utilised by developers. If it is reserved for purely the Windows platform, it may not have the over all impact that gamers would like.
