Switching Between System Power Saving Mode in UWP app ,makes the app non-responded for a while

[Prem-Kumar-Shanmugam]

My UWP app was not responding for sometime, when switching between power Saving mode(windows settings) while App was running. To Reproduce the issue ,
1. Run the app
2. Open Windows System Battery Settings -> Enable/Disable Power Saving Mode
3. Now try to bring our UWP app window to Foreground(front) -> It takes sometime to bring the app to foreground state from
background state.

My XAML Code :
<Canvas x:Name="MyCanvas" Background="Aqua"/>

My C# Code
RelativePanel buttonsPanel = new RelativePanel(); Button previousButton = null; for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++) { Button currentButton = new Button(); currentButton.Width = 10; currentButton.Height = 10; currentButton.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue); currentButton.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red); buttonsPanel.Children.Add(currentButton); if (previousButton != null) { RelativePanel.SetBelow(currentButton, previousButton); } previousButton = currentButton; } MyCanvas.Children.Add(buttonsPanel);

I just add 500 buttons inside relative panel and aligned the each button below the above one using RelativePanel.SetBelow(currentButton, previousButton).

If I remove the RelativePanel.SetBelow() line, the app respond properly as expected. But I want to align the children inside RelativePanel relatively. On the other hand, If I move the above c# code completely to XAML, it works fine in that case also. Example ...

XAML :

<Canvas x:Name="MyCanvas" Background="Aqua"> <RelativePanel> <Border Name="b0" Width="10" Height="10" Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" /> <Button Name="b1" Width="10" Height="10" Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" RelativePanel.Below="b0" /> <Button Name="b2" Width="10" Height="10" Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" RelativePanel.Below="b1" /> <Button Name="b3" Width="10" Height="10" Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" RelativePanel.Below="b2" /> <Button Name="b4" Width="10" Height="10" Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" RelativePanel.Below="b3" /> <Button Name="b5" Width="10" Height="10" Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" RelativePanel.Below="b4" /> . . . . <Button Name="b500" Width="10" Height="10" Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" RelativePanel.Below="b499" /> </RelativePanel> </Canvas>

Atleast we showld have 500 Buttons inside the relative panel to reproduce the issue. I don't know why this is happening, when i write the code completely in XAML , it works fine only. But if I add the buttons in C# and aligned relatively, the app won't respond properly while switching between power saving mode. I think the issue is with setting the Relativepanel.SetBelow() line.
