Hi jfbeute, I'm running MacOS, so that may not be a perfect replica of your situation. With Poser 11.2, I can see the same thing you do, queuing a render which then can't be suspended (it's completion percentage keeps increasing, showing that the FFRender process isn't pausing, which it actually may not be able to do at all, since Poser uses that process itself for internal renders, and there's no way to pause and resume a Poser internal render), unless I Cancel it from the QueueManager window.

The alternative which does work for me, though, is to select Suspended from the Queue menu in QueueManager, before sending the render to the Queue in Poser. Screen Shot 2019-10-22 at 12.41.30 am.png

So any previous jobs in the Queue will show up as Suspended* in the Status column. Having done that, QueueManager will still accept new jobs from Poser, but the renders will not be sent to the FFRender process until you unsuspend the queue.

The job above has now been sitting in my queue for 7 minutes without starting to render, since I suspended the queue before submitting it.

Now, I've just queued up a second render, also suspended. Screen Shot 2019-10-22 at 2.00.19 am.png

so they're both waiting in the queue. When I select Suspended from the Queue menu, so the tick mark goes away:

I start to get progress on the first render, with the second waiting. I assume this is what you were trying to do? Screen Shot 2019-10-22 at 2.02.32 am.png
