In accordance with one or more aspects, an application that is to be suspended on a computing device is identified based on a policy. The policy indicates that applications that are not being used are to be suspended. The application is automatically suspended, and is allowed to remain in memory but not execute while suspended. Additionally, when memory is to be freed one or more suspended applications to terminate are automatically selected based on the policy, and these one or more selected applications are terminated.
