Hey Ivan

Thanks for the response.

I tried what you suggested and disabled both settings, relaunched, and turned off efficiency mode for each sub-process it was active for.

Within 2 minutes, efficiency mode was re-activated, so your solution didn't seem to work.

I am on a desktop so I don't think the battery one would have any effect.

Answer 5

Hi , Jacoui •

I did the test here on my PC, apparently it's not a Chrome problem, but a Windows problem, but I managed to reduce the efficient mode request.

1. Open the Control Panel, go to Hardware and Sound tab > Power Options > Select High Performance.
2. Open microsoft edge go to settings > System and performance and disable all options.
3. open Google chrome go to settings tab > system > disable all options.
4. restart the computer open chrome again and access the extensions tab and disable all extensions and take the test.
5. If possible, also perform a test by placing the sites in the assets tab in google chrome.

• Open google chrome select settings > performance > Keep this sites always active click Add.
