Having to reboot to enable Game Mode really sucks. Usually I game after I finish working or maybe in between while I'm waiting for a download. I don't want to have to re-open all my programs and set up my desktop yet again after I'm done gaming. I wonder if this will be fixed with software later on or we'll have to wait for the next model of Threadripper.

Any chance of just hibernating the system and then resuming it?

  No way. It changes the number of CPU cores exposed to the kernel.

    Hmm... I'm sure this is manageable. Windows Server supports Hot Add/Remove CPU and RAM. If it can do it hot, why not cold? Windows UPnP service is continuously polling hardware and reconfiguring the system. I have a feeling Microsoft might have a solution in the works for this.

In theory, using Process Lasso to tie the game to 8 specific cores on a single die should produce equivalent results.
