Winform application not updating when minimized

I have a Windows form application that seems to pause draw functions when it is minimized. I need to know whether this just some draw function quirk, or if it extends to all code running. In either case, is there a workaround to this issue?

If it's minimized, there's nothing visible to paint, and so there's no need for WM_PAINT messages to be sent or processed. Nothing else should be affected, unless you've done something wrong in your code to cause it to be.

See also C# Windows Form Application update when minimized for some related information.
