It shouldn't be the case, I think this is more a Windows settings, there is no reason for GDevelop to keeps running in background.

Yes, GDevelop is running in background and consuming about 30% of CPU
And there is no icons on taskbar or tray
Latest GDevelop version, Windows 11

There is no change in GDevelop that could explain your version of GDevelop is running in background.
This is not a feature or a bug living in the app, this is a feature of your OS Windows 11.

GDevelop does not support managing its background app permission.
