Task manager shows green leaf UWP is suspending processes to improve performance

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To open Task Manager directly, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
When you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete key, you will see Task Manager as an option.




The Green leaf shown beside any process is normal. The green leaf lets you know that the process is ready to use but is in suspended state. This allows the computer to consume less RAM without affecting the performance of the processes. In other words,
Windows puts the applications in Ready state or blocks them from being executed by the processor.



For more information on UWP app, you can refer the article
What's a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app?

UWP App Suspension in Task Manager

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



You might see the green leaf with suspended state beside the Minecraft app/program. However, the Green leaf shown beside any process is normal. The green leaf lets you know that the process is ready to use but is in suspended state.



This allows the computer to consume less RAM without affecting the performance of the processes. In other words, Windows puts the applications/processes in Ready state or blocks them from being executed by the processor until requested
by user.



In this scenario we would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the app and check.

1. Press Windows + I key to Launch
   Windows Settings
   
2. Click Apps and select Apps & features from the left pane
   
3. Scroll and select Minecraft and select Uninstall.
   
4. Restart the PC and then reinstall from Microsoft Store.

Suspended apps on task manager

Good day,

I am Florentino Windows 10 Expert, user, and Independent advisor. I have built/troubleshot/tutored on Custom Windows Computers for over a decade, and I am happy to help you.

Modern UWP (metro) apps are suspended by a svchost process that controls UWP app power states. Also, you can manually do this in the Resource Monitor yourself for any process thought you may not get the desired outcome if the program isn't programmed for that
functionality. Generally, this is done to save system resources, like energy and CPU usage. The UWP apps are coded to allow this, that's why you don't see traditional Win32 programs going into a suspended state.

you should be able to unsuspend in the resource monitor.

Press the Windows key and type "Resource Monitor"

Select it out of the results.

Then click on overview. look for the process you want to unsuspend

right-click.

Choose Resume. If the process is able to resume it will. If it needs to be in a suspended state or is unresponsive it will stay suspended.

If you continue to have this problem and the program isn't acting right I suggest you contact the program developer using their help or tech support.

I hope this is helpful. Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Florentino
