Windows 10: How to stop Windows from suspending apps?

So sometimes apps get "suspended" if the system doesn't want them running in the background. The apps get a green leaf icon in task manager with a tooltip that reads, "This UWP group is suspending processes to improve system performance."


I want this function completely shut off. Is that even possible?


I know it's normal function of Windows, but mine is bugged out and suspending tasks that aren't supposed to be.


Thanks for any help.

Apps/processes being suspended!

Sorry you can't follow those. I can only suggest them.

The main idea of the first is the impact of an AV

It therefore follows that you could consider which AV you are using.

In the second a solution found was

It therefore follows that you could consider trying that, if meaningful in your case.

Note the final para of that thread indicates that is game-related- i.e. not a Windows service.

Conclusion:
Both of these point to a 3rd party program being installed causing processes to be suspended.

It therefore follows that should you see if you have anything a bit unusual installed that is having the effect you are seeing.

 

Apps suspend when minimized, music stops


On my desktop, when I run a music app in Windows 10, say Plug radio or Tunein, it stops playing music after a second or two of being minimized. If I maximize, it starts playing again. If I change the volume with the keyboard, and the little pop up window with volume, artist, song info, etc. pops up, it starts playing again, but as soon as it fades away, it stops again.

I checked under Task Manager, and the .exe file for the app suspends when you minimize it, and starts running again when you maximize it.

I have a laptop that I also upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1, and it doesn't do this. I can minimize the same apps and they continue to play. When the desktop was Windows 8.1, I didn't have this problem.

Any ideas why it would do this, and how to fix?

Thank you.
