For those living under a rock, Windows 10 built 17093 was released with a new feature called FullScreen Optimizations which enables Borderless Display Mode enabling for faster gameplay and more. It allows users to switch on the fullscreen mode and has a few techniques under its sleeves that enhances gameplay as said. However, the feature has been a common topic of discussion among Windows 10 users as it doesn’t help and in fact, it causes more harm than good.

Thus, a quick method to disable it can improve your gaming performance although there are a few other factors involved here as well such as the hardware configuration of the system you are using.
