[SOLVED] High CPU and frozen picture when I ALT+TAB to a Chrome tab playing YouTube video ?

[prsnr]

So I was watching a YouTube video and I opened services.msc to check something. When I alt+tab back to the video, the picture was frozen for a bit while audio was still playing fine. I opened Task Manager and recorded a video with my phone, because I didn't want to slow down my laptop with a screen recorder. The CPU gets to 100% and I don't think this is normal. Could you please help me?

This is the video:

My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad W540

• CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz
• RAM: 16GB
• GPU: Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600
• GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K2100M
• Storage: 512GB SSD

While recording the video I had 2 Chrome extensions(for Twitch) turned on. I disabled them and the result was the same.

I've been experiencing this issue for a while now but decided to post today.

Chrome is updated to the latest version. Hardware acceleration is ON.

The video that was playing in the video was in 1440p.

Have you tried running Automatic Driver Update - https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/...inkpad-w540/downloads/automatic-driver-update

Laptop would use intel igpu to run YouTube so it could just be it was having a hard time running 1440p, could be CPU had a few background tasks running as well.
