Minimizing and maximizing the TD window using latest POP build (Alpha 5) results in the timeline to be paused on its own. The timeline UI shows that TD is playing, even though everything is paused. One has to click twice on the play button to have things running again. Attached an image for reference:
Build: 2023.31968
Windows 11 Pro
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
NVIDIA RTX 4090
Looks like a bug where it doesn’t restart when maximized.
We’ll have a look.
In the meantime, if you want it to not stop at all during minimize, you can set that in Edit/Preferences “Stop Playing When Minimized”.
Cheers
Thanks Rob! I meant the bug in this case indeed.
Happy new year! 
Looks like it was just recently fixed internally here, and will be in the next release.
Happy New Year!
Hi Darien, I see you’re reporting 2023.31968, alpha 5 should be 2023.31974 and looks like the bug might have been fixed in between, were you actually using 31968 or 31974?
Hi @vincentDev,
I had Alpha 5, build 2023.31968 from a couple weeks ago indeed. I’ve now downloaded the latest one (2023.31974) and can confirm the issue is gone! 
Great, thanks for the update. Also please note there’s now a new new alpha 5! Alpha 5.1 - minor update to Alpha 5
