There is an issue that has happened since UniGetUI (then WingetUI) was migrated to WinUI3/AppSdk: There is a permanent ~1%ish CPU usage that won't go away. This is no big deal desktop PCs unless you have an old machine, but laptops suffer from battery drain and overheating when closed due to this issue (I experience this on my own laptop). Looking at Process Explorer, I realized this CPU was used by some WinUI dwmapi.dll thread, and not by any UniGetUI component.
There are lots of open issues on microsoft/ui-xaml, such as this one: microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#9703
After some testing, I found out that suspending the thread automatically freezes the window, but my code is actually still running, the frozen part is only the renderer. Therefore, why not suspend the renderer when UniGetUI is running on the background, and unfreeze it when the window shows again?
This is what this PR does: Freeze the render thread on window hide, and unfreeze it on window show.
I don't know how stable this code will be. It is a proof of concept that will (probably) be tested by prerelease users, and perhaps introduced partially into stable at some point.
The suspended threads are:
dwmcoreapi.dll+0x54F70Microsoft.UI.Xaml.dll!XamlCheckProcessRequirements+0x539b0(represented byMicrosoft.UI.Xaml.dll+0x5B1F0)This feature can be disabled from the Settings Window, under Experimental Features.
