Windows 10: Random pause during playing game

After connecting my gamepad via USB to charge it I usually use a dongle, the game randomly pauses while playing, which is really annoying. I checked the Event Viewer, and I found an error with Event ID 403.Engine state is changed from Available to Stopped. Details: NewEngineState=Stopped PreviousEngineState=Available SequenceNumber=15 HostName=ConsoleHost HostVersion=5.1.26100.2161 HostId=77becc4e-a0c3-453a-8c0f-1a9c4608ff88 HostApplication=C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass iex[IO.Fi

NEEDED: A PAUSE button or feature on Microsoft Solitaire timed EVENTS games

Hi, Solitaire game fans -

I am frustrated that I cannot press a pause button, when needed, to step away from an EVENT without the minutes I am away from the game being added to my total play time. I feel this does not give an accurate challenge time, if it includes my time away
from my computer. Does anyone else feel the same?

I THINK GAME DEVELOPERS NEED TO INCORPORATE A PAUSE BUTTON ON EVENT CHALLENGE GAMES. I HOPE THIS SUGGESTION IS SEEN BY A GAME DEVELOPER WHO CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

Sincerely,

Beth
