Mettre un jeu en pause avec un raccourci
Most games can't be paused — not really. Alt+Tab away and the game keeps rendering, keeps eating CPU and GPU, keeps playing sound, and in an online lobby your character just stands there. If you've ever hidden a game and had the fan noise give you away, you know hiding isn't enough.
Suspend: a real pause for any app
gohide Pro can suspend a process while it's hidden. Suspension freezes every thread of the app at the OS level:
- CPU and GPU usage drop to zero — fans go quiet immediately.
- Audio stops — nothing keeps playing in the background.
- Resume is instant — un-hide the app and it continues exactly where it froze, no reload, no lost progress.
Combined with hiding, one hotkey means: window gone, taskbar button gone, tray icon gone, and the game itself frozen in time.
Set it up
- Download gohide and add the game (or any app) to your list.
- Enable Suspend while hidden for that app (a Pro feature — free tier can mute while hidden instead).
- Press your hide hotkey. Press again to restore and resume in one motion.
Honest caveats
- Online games: a suspended process stops responding to the server. Many online games tolerate a short freeze; long ones can disconnect you. For single-player and launcher-style apps it's seamless.
- Anti-cheat: gohide suspends via standard OS mechanisms and never touches the game's memory — but as with any tool, check your game's terms for competitive play.
Why not just use Task Manager?
You can suspend a process from tools like Process Explorer — buried three menus deep, with no hotkey, and the frozen window stays visible on screen in a not-repainting, very-suspicious state. gohide does the suspend and the disappearing act together, in one keystroke.
