Suspend users programs when screen is locked and other user logs in
I like I can lock the screen and/or suspend windows 10, and the programs and windows are where I left them when I log in again.
But when my SO logs in, my programs also starts, taking power, and most annoyingly, my spotify or youtube can start playing, and the alert noises from facebook etc is also heard.
Is there a windows setting or other magic which can suspend the users program, when another user is using the pc?
It does make sense if I was doing rendering or other cpu-intensive stuff, that I am able to let the programs run in the background and let others use the machine, but it should be possible to disable it too.
TL;DR: Only allow the user with an active to have running programs; suspend the other users programs.

What you want isn't possible, unless you disable the ability to switch users, and only allow them to log out. How you switch users is a kernel function and cannot be changed.

I don't see why this is downvoted. I think it would be relatively easy to not give the non-active users processes any timeslices. Then, if needed. non-running programs memory would be swapped to the disk.

You would have to ask the users who downvoted your question to explain their vote. Which the reason, commenting about downvotes not being explained, is a fruitless endeavor.
