Anyone else started experiencing this recently? Can't put my finger on exactly when it started, but certainly not more than a week ago.

Whenever I type in the Chrome address bar, there's a good 2-3 second delay before whatever I've typed starts to appear; it's only the address bar which is affected, textboxes etc. on web pages are perfectly responsive, as is navigating around the rest of the application e.g. menus etc.

Nothing else on the PC has the same issue, and it only seems to be happening on my personal Windows 10 Pro PC - my work laptop (Windows 11) is fine. It happens even on a fresh reboot, when Chrome is the only application open.

I've done a search online, but only come up with results from several years ago, and the settings/options suggested on those results no longer appear to exist :(

Fairly sure it's not my hardware, as I'm running a 5800X3D, 32GB RAM and a 7800XT, with the OS on an NVMe drive, so it should be more than capable of running a browser! :p
 
Sorry, been away all weekend, I have a few extensions, will try disabling those, although my work laptop has the same ones installed.

Will try disabling hardware acceleration as well, thanks
