Hide(minimize) or close?
For your traffic exchange/inflate YouTube views?
Powershell.
Yeah.. you joined today, and this is your first post.
You know very well this isn't a tech support forum, and you know very well that just hiding your windows isn't saving you any resources.
Get your traffic exchange out of here.
sorry to tell you but its not TE..
" isn't saving you any resources." tell that to my VPS... 100% saving CPU.
Interesting that you know the abbreviation.
>
I'm sure a lot of us know the abbreviation
i know what is TE sites, but i dont use this... im sure that everyone that make money online know what is TE.
Hiding won't save resources unless you want to close it that be a different thing.
do it with
ALT+F4
If it'll get you to stop, use "taskkill".
Example:
Where chrome.exe = Chrome, and firefox.exe = Firefox.
i put type it on the bat file.. its not works
its not hide the firefox... its close it...
minimize please.
Made my day.
Press the damn minimize button???
Your BS in your OP is about -9000% sense. Hide Firefox and save RAM and CPU... This is called "Closing Firefox". There is absolutely no way to hide Firefox and save the RAM and CPU that it used.
Even if you're running software like BossKey... Firefox is still running in the background and using RAM and CPU for the content that it loaded.
Do you even know what computers are and how they work?
It was just a misunderstanding
Windows button + D
Wouldn't be so sure about that w.r.t the CPU anyway. Unless... you know for sure? Going on anecdotal evidence... Firefox won't fire certain event based situations where the browser is not visible and/or focused. The GUI is a CPU hog and perhaps the OS/browser skip a few things when the window isn't visible. source: working with xdotool, firefox, mozrepl on linux.
Maybe you just want to checkpoint Firefox & Chrome and save their state to disk? That's the only way it won't consume RAM & CPU (and you can of course hide/encrypt those image files).
I know how to do that on Linux but on Windows never bothered to learn. There should be ways I guess.
Anyway why do you need a bat file? If your goal is to automate dubious activity on school PCs/friends' PC/internet-cafe this is probably not the place to get help.
You might be able to save a bit of resources because as you said in some situations like minimized window or hidden window (through software like BossKey and similar) the applications indeed use a bit less resources as the GUI is not being rendered and thus resource usage drops.
My point is that OP wants to magically hide Firefox without shutting it down and save all the RAM and CPU. This not going to work. You have to close Firefox to achieve that. If OP would atleast try better to explain what they want the situation here might have been better.
You can't save all the resources the browser is using while it's running. You should know that I suppose. A lot of things are preloaded into RAM or else that thing would be 1000x slower than any other browser if it would not do that.
So there is no magic way to keep Firefox running, hide the window and magically save all the resources it uses to have some state of "hehehe muahaha I'm evil... I've hidden Firefox so well that it looks like it isn't running at all".
Indeed. ESL though, I think.
farsighter's suggestion sounds like the most elegant solution to the (potential) question.
"My point is that OP wants to magically hide Firefox without shutting it down and save all the RAM and CPU."
im sorry that you understand me like that... im using like 30GB ram and 35% CPU when the firefox are not minimized, but when i minimize them its go to 90-70% of that (the CPU go to 20% and this is great)...
thanks anyway.
What you are using it for? 30GB is a LOT.
I'm also surprised that it just doesn't hang forever at this usage.

I found that minimizing windows DOES have a great impact on the cpu and gpu. If the display is emulated and there is heavy flash and whatever content, minimizing lowers the load significantly.
I am not sure about the ram part, though, in theory it would also make sense, not rendering something should save ram especially on emulated hardware.
I still smell TE all over this situation.
