Windows 10: Green Leaf Icon Appearing Next to Minecraft in Task Manager WHILE ACTIVELY PLAYING

Hello, This has started happening recently when I'm playing Minecraft Windows 10 edition. The game completely freezes, previously I couldn't do ANYTHING when it froze other than restart from the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen. However I put Minecraft into window mode rather than full screen, and now when I do CTRL+ALT+DEL I can see task manager. I noticed that when the game has froze there is a green leaf icon next to it. I've done some searching and I see this indicates economy mode. Why is Windows putting a game I'm actively playing into eco mode?! I've tried searching for eco mode settings to no avail

:)

 

green leaf icon

where are you seeing the green leaf icon?

it is shown in task manager indicating processes that are currently suspended. it does nothing itself. in order to stop it showing here you would have to prevent processes from being suspended.

it appears in the taskbar (on the battery icon) when it is in battery save mode, to prevent the green leaf icon you need to prevent the device going into battery saver mode - settings -> system -> battery. untick battery saver.

if you are seeing it somewhere else, please provide a screenshot

 

Green Leaf Icon?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me, what the green leaf icon represents in Task Manager?
This is the first time I've seen this and I have no idea what it is.

 

Taskmgr: process with the "green leaf icon"?

The green leaf icon in Task Manager indicates that a process is suspended. Suspending a process saves energy, and Microsoft chose to represent this with a green leaf. Let me know if you have any further questions.
