Blocking Games

​
Steam Games

Block the game itself, not Steam:
  • Steam’s process is steam.exe — blocking this prevents access to the store, library, and all games
  • Individual games have their own process names — use the Helper Tool to find them while the game is running
To block all Steam games without blocking the Steam client, see Block All Steam Games.

​
Epic Games / Other Launchers

Same principle — block the game executable, not the launcher. Use the Helper Tool while the game is running to find the correct process name.

​
Common Game Process Names

Game process names can change with updates. If blocking stops working after a game update, use the Helper Tool to re-identify the process name.

​
Blocking by Window Title

Some applications are easier to block by window title than process name:
  • Windows Store (UWP) apps that share ApplicationFrameHost.exe
  • Games running through shared launchers
  • Specific content within an app (e.g., block windows titled “Netflix”)
In the Custom tab, enter the window title text and select Title matching.
