In the meantime we are working on a settings which will allow you to completely disable the product while you are not working with it directly (when the product is not opened) which might also serve you in this case as a kind of workaround to make sure that Cleanup won’t consume any resources while you’re gaming.

Hi, has it been postponed…? I can’t find any such setting in this build. :-\ Cheers

Good point actually, yes these settings will be in the next update because the recent one was pretty much just bugfixes and we plan to have these settings in the 20.2 version together with other changes.
The point is that it goes through the whole product architecture and as such it is slightly more difficult and will take us more time to finish.

Thank you.
