This doesn’t do anything particularly revolutionary, but it does give you a nice GUI with the ability to assign hotkeys to suspend/resume.
Useful if you want console-like game suspend to quick-switch between games, or if you’re just trying to save on the electricity bill.

I recently found out that a game I played froze when my pc went into auto suspend. Does this help with it too? Thanks for making this.

According to the FAQ it doesn’t help for your case. But they suggest another too. Maybe give that a look.

Thanks! Will do!

I maybe wasn’t clear, I didn’t make this, I just found it and figured folks here could benefit from knowing about it!
But no clue if it’ll help with that, worth a shot tho.

Thanks for clearing that up. Thanks for sharing then. Maybe someone else knows this.

No, it won’t help. It just suspends a task and going into sleep then won’t help. Maybe disable suspend and change to hibernation. This would work. You most likely would need to enable it first:
Powercfg /h on
On a commandline.
You can try out easily with e. G. Procexp from sysinternals (a great Taskmanager-replacement too!). You can just suspend your game and try it.

Thanks for the tipp! Currently, I have a bit of a problem with hibernation. My proprietary gpu driver sends me to blackscreen and forces me to hard reboot. So that I might need to fix first. :)
