How to turn off Game Mode / Do Not Disturb once it gets switched on?

[PAragao]

As I have, unfortunately, found out, kaspersky support is basically useless, I hope I can find here people that actually know about this software. 

Kaspersky decided to turn on game mode, I could not find a way to turn it off.. Then dumb me decided to try to turn on Do Not Disturb manually... Kind of did the IT version of sending down a magnet to dislodge a previous magnet. 🙂 😄 

I look everywhere I could think off but I could not find a way to run those modes off!! I can change their activation between Manual and Automatic, but once they are on... I find it way too hard to believe the only option is letting the timer end. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you replicated the situation OP is asking?

It is very easy to replicate. Right-click on Kaspersky logo in taskbar buttons area. Left click on "Turn on Game Mode". In case you activate Game Mode, manually this way, on a timer basis, and I do not know if "not turn-off manually" exists, there is no way to manually turn off Game Mode before timer completes and resets. OP's question is this: After turning on Game Mode manually (not like auto method in your answer) and by willingly or unwillingly setting a timer, how can we turn Game Mode off without waiting the timer time to finish?

The ss in your answer is the menu for automatic decisions by KAV; and does not help if Game Mode is manually turned on. OP's question is about turning off a mode which is turned on manually.

Consider this... we can turn protection off manually and turn it back on manually. A similar (vice-verse actually) "manually turning off a manually turned on mode with timer" is missing for Game Mode, and probably for "Do Not Disturb Mode" also.

The only viable but unwise workaround is to turn off computer's network (unplug LAN, turn off Wi_Fi etc.) and use "Exit" from Kaspersky taskbar menu.
