Crash when changing window focus with run in background ON

[jacki360]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

I found a similar issue but on Windows instead of Android. It is not the Threaded Video option since I already have it to OFF. The only way I found how to "resolve" this is by disabling the Don't run in background to OFF.

Expected behavior

The game to not crash while having the option to pause while unfocus

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Have Don't run in background turned to ON
2. Launch a game (I tried Pokemon Emerald on mGBA)
3. alt + tab to change the focus which will pause the emulator
4. Come back to the emulator that crashed

Might be a Windows 11 thing? Or CPU/GPU?
