Can't game if chrome is open

I'm having an issue while gaming if Google Chrome is open. It slows down the game BADLY and gives input lag on my keyboard. So I can't have a video or music on the background with the browser opened at all. I thought was only with YouTube but also with twitch and kick. I thought swapping from borderless to full-screen would help but it only helped once.

Specs:

Ryzen 7 5700x3D

32GB of ram 3200Mhz

RTX 4070

B550 tomahawk

750W 80+

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Gaming

    I think I am having the similar issue for League of Legands and open Google chrome but mine is lagging on visualization.

    While playing the games, I've checked that I still have a lot RAM space is available, low - medium GPU and memory usage, low - medium CPU usage, FPS and Ping is stable. I even reinstalled the League of Legands but the issues remains.

    Until one day I closed Google chromes and played, everything is stable and good. Then I tried to open Google Chrome and the same issue happen immediately.

    Hi ,

    I'm sorry, I accidentally marked it as resolved, you can select no.

    Have you tried using other browsers besides Chrome for Edge, do you have the same problem?

    Hi thanks for your reply, it occurs on PUBG and League of Legends, but haven't tried on other games, I'm very positive result would be the same. It started when Youtube started slowing down the adblock users browser

    Hi ,

    I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

    First check whether Chrome hardware usage is active if it is disabled.

    Step 1: Go to “Settings” to access an adjustment window.

    Step 2. On the new screen, tap “System”. Then, go to the “Use hardware acceleration when available” item and tap the lever so that it turns blue, with the circle facing the right corner.

    Disable Chrome's background usage and close all tabs, check if you have any plugins that are pulling CPU or GPU usage.

    Does it occur in all games?
