<h1 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h1>
<p dir="auto">Very easy to reproduce. Have the performance monitor open and bring terminal to foreground. The GPU usage spikes.<br>
I noticed this issue because, mouse becomes laggy and UI is almost unusable.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am pasting two screen shots when the terminal goes foreground and when the terminal goes background</p>
<h2 dir="auto">High GPU usage when the terminal is foreground</h2>

<h2 dir="auto">Low GPU usage when the terminal goes background</h2>

<h1 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">A relatively idle terminal should not be consuming 100% GPU and there by freezing the UI</p>

<h1 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">UI lockups due to 100% GPU</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Description of the new feature/enhancement</h1>
Possibility of being able to elevate to administrator privileges through a command in the terminal, as it works in the linux systems for example. It is counterproductive to have to open new instances to gain access to administrator privilege.
