Great news for all Windows 10 users (or not) as the Fall Creators Update is now available to everyone. PC users can update to it by simply checking for new updates via the Windows 10 Update tool. The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is version 1709.
The Windows 10 Creators Update will improve Game Mode. This mode promises to allow players’ games to use the full processing power of their device as if it was an Xbox game console. This mode has been available in Windows 10 for a while, and the performance improvements it introduced were minimal.
This mode will most probably be useful to those with really dated systems. Therefore, we’ll simulate a dual-core system and we’ll run some benchmarks in order to see whether the gaming experience is improved with Game Mode.
The Windows 10 Fall Creators update will also introduce two new anti-cheat tools: Game Monitor and TruePlay. We’ve already covered these two modes in a previous article, so be sure to check it out.
Enjoy!

Oh joy.
stuck at 52% …microsoft at their finest
After about 45 minutes of being stuck at 82% a pop-up appeared at the bottom-right of screen requesting permission to proceed or delay.
Oh trust me they want to deliver to you those nice Kill Packets, so stay tuned. Nu-l downloada, nu fi oaie.
That time of the year again…time to rerun Spybot Antibeacon, ShutUp10 and PowerShell to remove all the telemetry and bloatware Microsoft reinstalled on your system.
How else is intel going to sell more cores without bloatware to show you how much bloatware it can handle.
Incoming Kill Packets.
It is. Think of all the advertising, forced updates, new ‘features’ that won’t work in your system and the data snooping. Enough to make you feel uneasy to say the least.
Same here, will have to do this to so many friends and family’s PCs that accidentally got the Windows 10 “upgrade”. I’m sick of it now, I started putting Windows 7 back on a lot of them.
“Therefore, we’ll simulate a dual-core system and we’ll run some benchmarks in order to see whether the gaming experience is improved with Game Mode”
You can’t use Game Mode with only 2 cores. Its not possible. For “game mode” you need at least 6 cores This mode is designed for many slow cores… not for few cores. In “game mode” two cores are uses exclusive by system and all other cores are used exclusive by game. Like on Xbox One. You can’t run “game mode” on 2 or 4 cores…
If you want check “game modes” you should use 6-8 core system with slow cores for example old AMD CPU. You need many slow cores to enable “game mode”. If you have only 2-4 cores then “game mode” will be slower than “without game mode”
Can people please just report this clown to the FTC for astroturfing? He will get a 16,000 dollar fine and he can go back to flipping burgers.
Why? I find his input valuable
Is that so “Thomas”? Cool account creation date (today). Clicking a profile is HARD.
Yes, he seems to repeat himself but the data seems factually correct.
Didn’t register before, but longtime reader. Very interesting site
Well I’ll be. Your constant MS shilling actually produced an interesting post.
More l33t spyware and telemetry!
Is HDR fixed??
Downloaded and installed with no issues. It changed no settings either. Top notch.
NIce try, Bill.
First impressions:
Overall responsiveness feels snappier and animations seem smoother.
Fluent design is barely implemented and has a long way to go.
GPU profiling in Task Manager is a nice bonus.
Grouping of background tasks to main process in Task Manager is nice as well.
New Game Mode update seems to be doing a tiny bit more than normal (~2-3 fps, well within the margin of error)
The battery slider is a huge boon for anyone on a gaming laptop.
Page File issues seem to have been fixed. Will need further testing.
Yeah it is really awesome I like it as well. For me personally I turned off the Game Mode it was doing weird stuff to the CPU cores on multi cored games(for no reason it juiced up three cores, you can watch it behave odd when you do on or off) and I got stuttering and hitching as well, so I leave it off.
I have to admit the overall game performance seems better just from the update in general, with out the game mode on for me.
Overall a solid update, seems it fixed a sound card issue I had so that is cool.
Hmm my updates keep failing and I see I’m stuck on build 15063.
