How to minimize resource use in a background app?

I have a launcher app that just plays a video and then has buttons to launch other apps. The other apps are launched through process.start. When I do that, I pause the video and set it’s component to disabled. There are no Update methods defined… but while in “in the background” the launcher is using around 7% CPU and upwards of 20% GPU. Wondering what I can do to minimize this and get closer to 0% on both.

You can set the target Framerate to something like 5 or even lower.
You could also try to set the process priority of the launcher to low so the "Front " process the all the power it needs.
Another option would to disable run in background.

Thanks a ton! Turning off run in background did the trick. Dropped both to 0%.
