HotCakeX Thanks for the extra info. Whats interesting there is that I am also on an i7 7700K. Unfortunately though I haven't had the CPU/Power usage jump through the roof or at least not noticeably anyhow. The complete freeze up (of what I now understand is the GPU process) I've had though while its been working the scrolling and other input hasn't been laggy. I'm currently on 1% CPU, 0.8% GPU and Very Low power consumption with 20 tabs, one being YouTube, open. While randomly scrolling on this page it hits 5.5% CPU and 10% GPU. Randomly scrolling on YouTube it hits 12.2% CPU, 9.5% GPU and Very High power consumption. Watching a video is a bit less, 8% CPU and around the same GPU. A bit high, though not enough to be a noticeable issue.
I'll keep the original post updated if I get any more issues like what I originally reported or it exhibits symptoms similar to yours.
Thanks

I'm asking that because when I fresh installed my Windows 10 insider build and didn't enable any additional features, I wasn't seeing that problem but when I enabled those features, after few days, the problem started happening.
and when it happens, it happens in both Edge insider canary and Google chrome canary, makes me think there is something wrong with Chromium because when I try the same websites in Edge classic, they are smooth and without problem.- dangfanglednewtechNov 25, 2019Copper Contributor
HotCakeX I've had this issue occur over both Windows Defender (with everything turned on except for controlled folder access) and BitDefender TS. Both AV applications have never reported any actions taken and Event Viewer contains no relevant data. I've never enabled Sandbox.
