josh_bodner I saw it still mentioned in the known issues: black screens.

We are at the moment shortly before rolling out and we see incidents of black screens on certain platforms we are currently investigating.

However the workaround to resolve the issue is to disable hardware acceleration but the way to get there with a browser in black does not help.

You cannot stop de GPU process with shift+esc  because that's black as well....

I tried to find the switch in the registy to no avail.

A workaround that a servicedesk can use would be very appriciated.

 

reg, Henno

    For me the CPU spikes happen on random tab (GMail or Google Calendar being most frequent) or extension (sometimes LastPass, sometimes Ghostery). Ending the process will fix the issue for a while but it does happen again (several times an hour).

      It looks like it occurs on all extensions. I'm getting it with an adblocker and a colour picker extension.

       

      It's driving me mad as my PC's cooling works with CPU usage, so my fans (10 of them) suddenly go in to a tack off mode.

        And I got this with the Video Downloadhelper extension.

         

        So the problem seems to be something to do with extensions, but not just one specific one.
