I use AEL to launch PC games, using Explorer and shortcuts. As with the old Advanced Launcer, I use pssuspend to suspend Kodi while the games are running.

The problem is Kodi seems to still somehow be using resources. If I launch Rise of the Tomb Raider from Kodi, for example, the task manager shows Kodi suspended, but even the menu screen of ROTTR is only getting around 40fps. If I close out Kodi, it immediately goes to 60 (where I have it capped). If I launch the game directly without running Kodi, it is 60 right from the start.

Any ideas?

Have a look at this and related posts.

Interesting, I will try that. I would think that suspending the Kodi process would do more to free up resources than merely minimizing the window, but I will try it and report back. Thanks!
