• eco-mode-app-switch

  2 7 3.8 C++

  A windows tray icon tool that allows to freeze/pause/suspend and resume your resource intensive apps with one click to save energy and reduce fan speeds and noise.

There's an app https://github.com/MetaIdea/eco-mode-app-switch, the allapps version suspends processes like overwolf. However, as of right now, it can only suspend the top process that started it all, not all of the processes that were spawned by the top one. for that, you can manually suspend them using windows's in-built resource monitor, but obviously it takes some clicks. personally i do this to discord, bnet, overwolf, guilded etc. because i don't need notifications like hey you received a new message or whatever. but it is annoying that you have to manually resume the processes whenever you wanna alt tab back to them, the author of the app says an automated paid version is in the works that will also be able to suspend background processes (which is i imagine the processes spawned from the main ones), for now the best bet is to either manually suspend and resume them, or use the invoke windows api script:
