    Installed the drivers and my daughter had a 2 hours session of GTA V without apparently any issues.
    Then I tried to run a superposition benchmark and the screen turrned black with my fans speaning at high rpms.
    I left it conclude the benchmark, and when it finished I was able again to see my desktop and the benchmark score.
    I found the executable and I ticked : disable fullscreen optimizations and run this program as administrator.
    That did the job as the benchmark was running fine again with picture.
    Win 10x64(1709).

    a lot of times all the nay saying and "woe is me" stuff is case specific or worse.

    I ignored it and installed these.

    A) first time my pc ever froze while gaming. Ever.

    B) i let my monitors go to sleep as per usual - no waking em up. Thats never happened either. Not anytime remotely recently.

    Roooolled back to the .10's i was using prior.

    This driver gave me a BSOD on the next day of install when I tried to play Wolfenstein 2 on my 1060/3GB. ( 00000050 code ) Now I'm on the 388.0 I hope that would be ok. I made a ram test just to make sure that it is not a suddenly failing part but that was ok as I expected.

    It doesn't happen always, open 2-3-4 tabs and one tab with youtube playing a song and try to minimize.

    yes it did help on bf1 for me. i couldn't enable it on per game basis because game bar wouldn't open in full-screen games.

    in FCU, its per game basis now, thats why they discarded on-off option in settings. yet, gamebar is not showing when in fullscreen to let me activate game mode for that specific game.

    How we suppose to control whether we want game mode on per game basis then if game bar is not accessible? Microsoft decides for us?

    Update: Game bar becomes available if you check "Record game clips, screenshots and broadcast using Game bar" in "Gaming => Game bar" settings.

    It's always was on a per game basis. The global switch literally did nothing. I.e. you could have it off, start a game, turn in on from Game Bar and it would be active in this game on the next launch.

    Game bar becomes available if you turn on "Record game clips, screenshots and broadcast using Game bar" in "Gaming => Game bar" settings.

    Sure. Which doesn't mean that Game Mode won't be on by default for some games which MS will "whitelist".

    I was asking namely about missing game bar through which game mode for a game can be configured.

    I've the "Record game clips, screenshots and broadcast using Game bar" checked under gaming settings and game bar doesn't pop-up when i press win+g keys.

    I've the xbox app uninstalled though, might be because of that.

    There's also the "Show Game Bar..." checkbox there. I dunno if it must be checked for Game Bar to appear on Win+G or not.

    I played with it a bit, yes you have to enable show game bar, rest can be off.
    By default its disabled @ win+g (takes 2-4 sec to open), it has to be enabled in settings "for this game", now back in main gamebar enable game icon so it turns lightblue.

    With rs3 It works almost all the time, even when DSR'd (fullscreen). Although it can glitch and start minimized, I have to manually alt+tab to fullscreen, idk why it does that though.. could be connection with this game bar, usually its just by DSR'd games.

    The game must be in borderless windowed or using something but D3D11. For D3D11 games only a handful of games are supported for Game Bar and this is why there's the "fullscreen enhancements" feature basically.
