Bravo Edge devs, but we can't just tell Electron to use Edge for the browser part of course. I tested Edge with the same site,, and found that while Edge doesn't necessarily freeze, it does experience some hitching.

If the problem exists on Linux, though, I'd lean further on this being solvable on Chromium upstream ANGLE is used on Windows in both Chrome and Electron, so it's likely not Intel OpenGL related.

This problem doesn't occur on my desktop, which is only using a dedicated GTX 1080 with NVIDIA's driver on Windows 10. I would wager a guess that this is a bug in Chromium/Electron reacting poorly with the Intel graphics driver. These are oddly categorized as "Other" in the summary donut chart.

You can see the very long GPU steps on the timeline when I switch between VS Code and Chrome. I ran a Performance profile on Chrome, which is also freezing during window switching between VS Code and : Since WebGL is specifically at play here and my work involves it, disabling hardware acceleration is not a workable solution for me. This also happens whether or not I force Chrome to open using the Surface Book 2's GTX 1050. VS Code is responsive until I attempt to drag any amount of selection. I am encountering this issue specifically with background WebGL canvases being actively updated in other browsers in the background on a Surface Book, whether that other browser is Chrome or Edge. If you really need to run any other Webgl or GPU task run with code with -disable-gpu flag.

Update 2: It turns out vscode is also using the hardware acceleration on GPU, another workaround is by disabling hardware acceleration on vs code by launching the IDE with -disable-gpu flagĭisable the hardware acceleration on chrome if issue is while running chrome parallel with vscode Go to chrome settings and uncheck checkbox which says Use hardware acceleration when available it seems the problem often occurs when i'm playing videos on the chrome and switch to visual studio code for programming.ĭisabling the chrome hardware acceleration may potentially fix the problem(for now, problem can be more deep than it seems, something with GPU hardware acceleration, because it will reappear in when you doing graphics intensive tasks). Update: freezes came back after few hours of coding. It's funny but it seems that issue was on chrome, my hangs issue gone after updating the chrome, switching between chrome and vscode back and forth and editing works fine now.

it was not happening in the previous stable release.if it does not reproduce with extensions disabled, you can stop testing and report this!.it reproduces with extensions disabled ( code -disable-extensions from the command line - NOT the integrated terminal of Code).Here is a checklist to find out more about the freeze/slow/crash
