Presentation mode

Presentation mode is a feature for users that demand uninterrupted usage of their software, do not want to be disturbed by pop-up windows, and want to minimize CPU usage. Presentation mode can also be used during presentations that cannot be interrupted by antivirus activity. When enabled, all pop-up windows are disabled and scheduled tasks are not run. System protection still runs in the background, but does not require any user interaction.

Click Setup > Computer and then click the switch next to Presentation mode to enable presentation mode manually. In Advanced setup (F5), click Tools > Presentation mode, and then click the switch next to Enable Presentation mode when running applications in full-screen mode automatically to have ESET Endpoint Antivirus engage Presentation mode automatically when full-screen applications are run. Enabling Presentation mode is a potential security risk, so the protection status icon in the taskbar will turn orange and display a warning. You will also see this warning in the main program window where you will see Presentation mode enabled in orange.

When Enable Presentation mode when running applications in full-screen automatically is engaged, Presentation mode will start whenever you initiate a full-screen application and will automatically stop after you exit the application. This is especially useful for starting Presentation mode immediately after starting a game, opening a full screen application or starting a presentation.

You can also select Disable Presentation mode automatically after to define the amount of time in minutes after which Presentation mode will automatically be disabled.
