I'm maintaining a project which draws on external window using gpu accelerated offscreen rendering.
The Electron process is spawned as a child process by a another Nodejs cli process. But the offscreen rendering is stuttering when cli console window is minimized. The offscreen window is created with backgroundThrottling disabled.
I have no idea if this is issue of Electron or Windows. Let me know if you know anything about it.

What do you mean by this But the offscreen rendering is stuttering when cli console window is minimized Why would minimzing the console window stop your code in a child process stutter / not run ?
Is it not running in a serpate process or are you pausing the stream of said process ?

Sry if my english was bad. The offscreen rendering performance degrades when parent process's console window is occluded or minimized.
Afaik there is occlusion detection in chromium to throttle background performance. But we are rendering offscreen so I have no idea
This is the original issue in our project. We are using electron to render game overlay on top of game window.
