Is there a way to disable any rendering in the viewport ?

Hello!
The title says it all, but I can explain it :
While working, for energy saving purpose, I would like to know if it is possible to disable any update from UE, especially viewport rendering.
During my day, I sometimes work on something else, but I don’t want to close UE. Is there a way to do so?
Cheers,
ValDo

Hi ValDoMenhir,

So, if you just minimize UE, you should notice that it no longer takes up many system resources.

Also, in the upper-left of the viewport there is a drop-down where you can disable ‘Realtime’ (continuous rendering of the viewport)

Plus, it’s possible to reduce the load by limiting in-editor FPS with console command t.maxfps 15

Not for all windows, maybe not even for the editor itself, but there is a freeze rendering command that stops occlusion calculations…

Simple plugin to disable viewport rendering by exposing an engine function to blueprints.
