I have made an exam application in C# that has a timer, while taking exam suppose the candidate keeps on pressing the windows' minimize button (without releasing the mouse) at 1 minute and 30 seconds, the time pauses even if the candidate keeps on pressing the mouse for 10 minutes, but when the mouse is released the time resumes from the very second where it was paused i.e. 1 minute and 30 seconds. I want the timer to be continued without any pauses.

C programming language is a machine-independent programming language that is mainly used to create many types of applications and operating systems such as Windows, and other complicated programs such as the Oracle database, Git, Python interpreter, and games and is considered a programming foundation in the process of ...
In the real sense it has no meaning or full form. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T bell Lab. First, they used to call it as B language then later they made some improvement into it and renamed it as C and its superscript as C++ which was invented by Dr. Stroustroupe.
C is a general-purpose language that most programmers learn before moving on to more complex languages. From Unix and Windows to Tic Tac Toe and Photoshop, several of the most commonly used applications today have been built on C. It is easy to learn because: A simple syntax with only 32 keywords.
The letter c was applied by French orthographists in the 12th century to represent the sound ts in English, and this sound developed into the simpler sibilant s.
What timer component are you using? System.Windows.Forms.Timer or System.Threading.Timer?
I suspect the S.W.F.Timer uses SetTimer API call which uses window messages which would explain what you are seeing, a threaded timer would be better.
You could also just use a thread, store a DateTime.UtcNow and every 100ms or something in the thread, get another DateTime.UtcNow and check the TimeSpan for the elapsed time.

Use the System.Threading.Timer class because that is supposed to work independently from windows messages
