UI won't update after request (maybe due Windows Efficiency Mode) #9440

Description

@khoben

Expected Behavior

UI should reflect the query results and update accordingly after the request is completed

Actual Behavior

UI remains unchanged after the request is executed. It only refreshes after minimizing and restoring the window

Reproduction Steps

  1. Trigger and wait for the request
  2. Observe that the UI does not update with the new data
  3. Minimize the application window and restore it. Notice that the UI updates only after the window is restored

Is there an existing issue for this?

Which sync method do you use?

  • Git sync.
  • Insomnia Cloud sync.
  • Local only

Additional Information

This issue might be related to Windows 11 Efficiency Mode. But disabling it in Task Manager doesnt resolve the problem.
