This tool automatically mutes applications in the background, and unmutes them once they are switched to foreground. You can add exceptions for which applications are never muted.
- Works out of the box with default settings
- Add exceptions for applications to never be muted
- Minimize to tray icon
- Dark Mode
- Requires DotNet 6.0 to work (install here https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0)
- Run WinBGMuter.exe. The application will automatically start muting background processes with default settings.
- To add or remove application exceptions either:
- Directly add/remove items in the text box under "Mute Exceptions"
- Or under "Mute Exception Changer": The left list shows detected processes with an audio channel; the right list shows processes part of the exception list. Simply use the arrow buttons < and > to move processes from one list to the other.
- Activate Logger: Enables or disables logging
- Enable Console: spawns a windows console for logging and debugging
- Restore Defaults: overrides existing settings and restores default settings
- Enable Dark Mode: enables an experimental dark mode
- Mute Condition: Modifies the mute condition. "Background" is default, and mutes apps in the background. "Minimized" is an alternative mode, which only mutes apps when they are minimized.
- Minimize to Tray : minimize the application and it will automatically minimize to tray. Double clicking restores the window, and mouse right click shows a context menu.
