The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

I can’t recommend this program unfortunately as it didn’t seem functional on my system. I pause Firefox and then the program kind of froze. Restarting doesn’t seem to do anything, it just sits there. Had to “End Task” both the program and Firefox.

Background

I've been looking for a program like this, especially on one of my machines with limited system resources. A way to pause apps and games that take up a lot of resources would be amazing. Programs are only getting bigger, so tools like this may be necessary.

Steps

Download the portable version, unzip and launch.

Status: Not portable, writes settings to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\com.example\nyrna ... though they're pretty minor settings so I can see this being acceptable to some.

Process Hacker can also suspend processes, with "suspend" and "resume" options in the context menu.

Note that it's expected that a program freezes if you suspend it. Suspending blocks it from executing at all. Resuming should unfreeze it just fine though.

Good call. I'd forgotten about Process Hacker. Clearly that's the way to go on this.
