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

GameProcess
Minecraftjavaw.exe (match by title “Minecraft” instead)
FortniteFortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe
League of LegendsLeague of Legends.exe
ValorantVALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe
RobloxRobloxPlayerBeta.exe
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.
