    GPU usage when FGU launcher behind another window

    Noticed that when opening the FG data folder from the FGU launch screen, while the Windows Explorer window is on top of the FGU launcher my GPU usages spikes and FPS jumps from the FGU limit of 120 to 3000+ (apparently uncapped). If FGU is then minimized or moved to the foreground the issue goes away. Not sure there's anything that can be done about it, but I don't think I've noticed this before.

    It seems to only happen on the launch screen and only after first loading a campaign then exiting back to the launcher.

    To recreate:
    1. Launch FGU
    2. Open Microsoft Game Bar (Win + G) and pin the Performance overlay
    3. Currently it is not measuring FPS as no game is detected
    4. Load an FGU campaign
    5. Wait for FPS measuring to start - on my system it runs at 120 FPS
    6. Right Click and Return to Launcher
    7. FPS monitoring is still going, reporting 120 FPS
    8. Click the button in top right to open the FG Data Folder in windows explorer
    9. FPS jumps to 3000+, appears to be uncapped
    10. Minimize FG, it returns to normal

    FGU v4.5.5

    FGU v4.5.5
    If you have access to your video card driver setting, try to limit the VSync to 60 FPS.
