Unfortunately, many Windows 10 users were left disappointed when they installed the Windows 10 Creators Update and did everything right but were left out and did not have Game Mode on their computers post-update. This problem caused quite a bit of uproar in the gaming community, which is probably part of the reason why the root of the issue was discovered rather quickly. This problem can only be seen when a computer running on an ‘N’ version of Windows 10 – such as Windows 10 Pro N – is upgraded to the Windows 10 Creators Update. The reason why that is the case is because N versions of Windows 10 variants are the same as their normal counterparts, with the exception of the fact that the N versions don’t have Media Feature Pack, and computers that do not have the Media Feature Pack also don’t have Game Mode when the Creators Update is installed on them.
All a Windows 10 computer affected by this issue needs is the Media Feature Pack, and it will have Game Mode. Thankfully, you don’t have to roll back a computer affected by this problem to a previous Windows 10 build, install the Media Feature Pack and then make your way back up to the Creators Update – a Media Feature Pack designed specifically for the Creators Update actually exists. If you have upgraded your Windows 10 computer to the Creators Update and don’t seem to have Game Mode, here’s what you need to do in order to install the Media Feature Pack on your computer and get Game Mode: When your computer boots up, your computer will have Game Mode. The easiest way to verify this is to simply open the Start Menu, click on Settings and make sure that one of the options available in the window is “Gaming”.
