Hey :)

Imagine playing a game like PUBG or CP77 and trying to search for a guide :(
If I try to work with Microsoft Edge at the same time with game, Edge freezes
I get this issue after buying my new monitor ( new monitor is 1440p and has G-Sync and HDR if it's related to issue )
Sometimes pictures won't load while playing game, it shows a black screen instead of picture

I checked RAM and CPU usage and they were not 100% ( a lot less than that )
GPU usage => sometimes 100% and sometimes ~70%

Microsoft Edge v111.0.1661.54 ( I have this issue for several builds now )

It's on ultimate performance power plan ( control panel -> power options )
screen turn off is on 30m and sleeping is turned off
Do I need to check anything else?

This is the settings and options
I turned off Improve your PC gaming experience with efficiency mode but it still freezes and go to Not Responding
Do these settings need a restart after changing them?

Yep the options like sleeping tabs. Probably only have to restart the browser for changes to take effect

Edit- Also make sure you are on the latest by going into Settings/About MS Edge

Weird. At this point I'd probably try killing hardware acceleration (settings/system & perf/system). Also do you have hdr enabled at all times? If so, definitely try with it off

Sorry for the late reply, I was sick and hospitalized
yeah, hdr is always on
It seems disabling hardware acceleration works!
I can use the browser again :-)
thanks bro
