Hi, one of my apps uses "MinimizeApp()" to minimize the window, but I have noticed that if my Windows screensaver is activated prior to "RestoreApp()" being called, although the window does restore, it remains concealed by the screensaver which does not get interrupted.
I expected and hoped that "RestoreApp()" would interrupt the screensaver. Any thoughts or ideas bearing in mind I would like it to be suitable for both mouse and touch screen Windows applications if possible.

Thank you

i think at windows you will get a GetPaused from screensaver and later a GetResumed if the windows get the focus back.
about MinimizeApp, the docu say: On desktop platforms like Windows the app will continue to run when minimized.
a screensaver should only re activated by user input/mouse/keyboard, at windows also some planned tasks can do this optional if it is allowed.
