Hi, recently an android app that are not gaming start to keep showing unresponsive or crash symptom that never happen before after idle for a little while, then found out bluestacks has new setting for each app inherited from android that is app battery usage Default Optimized and Unrestricted / Restricted, just switch from Optimized to Unrestricted fix that.
BlueStacks 5.22.290.1031 Android 13 (Beta) Latest Version
The Three Modes Explained
• Unrestricted:
• What it does: Allows the app to run freely in the background at any time without system-imposed limits. It may use more CPU and background resources.
• When to use: For apps that require constant real-time notifications, background syncing, or active GPS/location trackers (though BlueStacks is on a PC, certain idle game macros or automation tools benefit from this).
• Optimized (Default):
• What it does: Automatically manages background activity based on your usage patterns. The system puts idle apps to sleep or throttles them to balance performance and power efficiency.
• When to use: Recommended for 90% of apps because it maintains a healthy balance between getting notifications and saving system resources.
• Restricted:
• What it does: Strongly limits or completely blocks the app from running in the background. The app will generally only refresh or do work when you explicitly open it.
• When to use: For heavy or rogue apps that you rarely use, or if an app keeps waking up and causing lag/draining host resources. Note: May cause delayed notifications or broken background functionality.
