Dont know whats causing this.
When I have chrome snapped to the side of my screen and I switch to a bordered game, sometimes (1/5) times chrome will "freeze" its not crashed, but nothing will respond on chrome. If I move or re-size the window it will "unfreeze" and jump to w/e I clicked on or did like its catching up.

ONLY happens when snapped.
Using Windows 10, but it was happening on Windows 8.1 as-well

Any ideas?
 
Anyone? this makes chrome un-usable.
Every time I switch to a windowed game chrome "freezes" and wont respond until I either close it or move the window.
 
I have other things open (two screens)
And it doesnt matter what game is open (it seems to only happen on windowed games) when is switch back to chrome (behind it snaped to side of screen) it wont respond till I physical move the window, double clicking does nothing.
And yes I've disabled HW acceleration.
 
has it always been like that? i remember many chrome freezing issues surrounding Realtek ALC Codecs - Using realtek? could disable the driver and see if it makes any difference to any sort of bottlenecks

or quickly create a new browsing profile
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default" close and reopen chrome then try again

Tried the browsing profile thing a few hours ago, didnt make any difference.
And no its only been like this for the past few weeks.
And no not using realtek.
Tried loads of things to make it go away, nothing works.
