This is a minimal Windows program that uses the Pause/Break button as a hotkey for suspending all threads associated with the currently active window and hides the window.

Pressing the same button again will resume the process and reveal the window again.

Why?

I enjoy playing Monster Hunter: World, but the game doesn't have a pause function, even when playing single player offline. Using this program, I am able to suspend the game when I urgently need to deal with a crying baby :)

Limitations

• This program suspends all threads from the process that created the active window handle, and hides that window handle. Multi-window applications or multi-process applications will not be suspended correctly.
