    Windows 10 Game Mode


    For some odd reason, I don't have the "Game Mode" in my settings. My Xbox Game Bar won't launch either from "Windows key + G". My windows version is the Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043. 1110) Windows 10 Pro. No, it does not have neither N or KN besides it. I am trying to activate Game Mode for a better performance. Could someone help on this issue of getting the "Game Mode" tab in my settings?

    :)

    If Game Mode is missing (I am going to assume you have looked in the Xbox area of the settings menu), then it suggests that your version is one of those even if it doesn't specifically list it

    Going by what I have read, the Media Feature Pack installs it on those versions so it may be worth trying:

    As to Game Bar not launching, that may also be fixed with the above...possibly.

    Xbox for PC in Windows 10S

    Hi,

    Windows 10 in S mode is mainly for security purposes, and usually applies to machines sold for educational uses. This means some games and applications can't be installed in S mode, even directly from the Windows Store.

    However, most Windows 10 devices in S mode can be changed to standard Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro depending on the OS installed.

    Note: Leaving S mode is one-way, there is no going back once it's done. Your Windows 10 device will be able install all Apps from Windows Store and applications downloaded from other websites/services. Your machine will
    be unlocked.

    How to leave Windows S mode permanently

    There is no charge to leave S mode

    On your PC running Windows 10 in S mode, open Settings
    > Update & Security > Activation.

    In the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Switch to Windows 10 Pro section, select Go to the Store. (If you also see an "Upgrade your edition of Windows" section, be careful not to click the "Go to the Store" link that appears there.)

    On the Switch out of S mode (or similar) page that appears in the Microsoft Store, select the Get button. After you see a confirmation message on the page, you'll be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store.

    Colorblind mode

    There are two versions of Taptiles. One is for Windows 8, and the other for Windows 10 (both work on Windows 10). The Windows 8 version is the only one I know with Colour blind mode. Launch the game, and in the top left of it is an icon that looks like
    3 lines on top of one another, select it, then select settings, then select game options, and from there you can turn off colour-blind mode.
