Cause and Solution to Windows 24H2 related rendering/partial freezing with chromium based apps
Some people may have noticed after the windows 11 24H2 update that they began to experience issues with electron/chromium based apps(Discord, VSCode, Chrome itself) when being alt-tabbed out of a game. Frequently, it will appear as if only parts of the interface are being updated, maybe you scrolling down a chat, but only a third of it is scrolling and the rest appears frozen in place. Rarely, it manifests in having the image stuck and only updating around the mouse cursor. Tabbing to a different window and back would restore things back to normal for a short time. People also describe this as tearing or glitching, all rather generic terms that make searching for this topic fun. You also can't screen record it occurring.

The issues you're describing—partial rendering, freezing, tearing, or glitching in Chromium-based apps like Chrome, VSCode, or Electron apps after the Windows 11 24H2 update—are likely related to graphics rendering or hardware acceleration conflicts introduced or affected by the update.
