Chrome is being exceedingly laggy- to the point of unusable, video quality on stuff looks crap, certain animations are looking like they're at 10fps

I've cleared all caches, data, basically full refresh and still doing it.
removed all extensions and did nothing.

PC is running less than a year old 9950x3D and 48GB ddr5 6400
and internet is on gig down so hardware should be absolutely no issue..

when I have chrome open it's making other shit laggy, especially games in some games will drop over 100 frames just having 1 page of chrome open.

I'm booting youtube, fresh from shutdown and it's defaulting to 720p

Jump on brave and silky smooth- chrome definitely not running right at all.

ideas?

So - I think I already know what this is because of- I believe this is because of some software incompatiability issues between my Vocaster software and Ryzen CPU and Win 11 - as I've already had a bunch of issues with it which all root to this incompatiability.
All issues eventually fixed by rolling back to an old software version.

But now I'm getting a new one, which no idea if this is related again..

basically If i boot my PC, then join discord with my vocaster turned on, my entire PC completely crashes and reboots, window black screen error saying along the lines of "window's has encounted an error" or something similar (haven't been able to get a shot of it because it happens too quick)

I reboot, do it again, and still same thing..

the fix? - turn off vocaster completely, join discord, turn vocaster back on.. works fine.

I reckon it's again related back to the incompatibility, maybe new windows updates doing something weird and screwing with it even more.

it's only vaugely annoying but maybe someone else has an idea
