    Game Mode for WINX users

    Now running Photoshop and other programs in "game mode" and so far so good. Flawless performance with the big files.
    Why was this kept a secret?

    Don't play games, having 12 GB mem does the trick mostly, and SSHD and Intel core 7 processor and good video card.

    It's not for running games. Not in my case.
    Hit the Win logo key plus G.
    Then hit the settings icon. Oh, do all this while you have the intended program open.
    Save to run in game mode.
    Large files in Photoshop under WinX got to be a huge pain in the arse with the program bogging down and acting buggy.

    I use it when I'm recording music sometimes.
    A fast way to tell the OS what takes priority.

    Win 10 has a lot of cool stuff, I keep poking at it.
    Still figuring out Creator Edition majik goodies.
