Windows 11 and Chrome browser crashes and slowdown

[Rick_1138]

I recently upgraded my PC to windows 11 after a fair bit of faff to make it all compatible with changing M2 drive to the newer format as it was an older format as was a clone of a legacy drive.

Anyway, over the last week or so i am finding chrome and some games are just causing massive issues with slowdown or crashing the browser.

quite bad if i split between 2 windows on the screen, its ridiculous, there was never an issue with it on windows 10 having lots of tabs open and ;leaving chrome on when gaming etc.

has anyone experienced a similar issue with windows 11?

In place upgrade or clean install?

If the former, try the latter.

Chrome does that with me too. More specifically when watching YouTube in one window and browsing in another. I think that turning off GPU assistance? Can’t remember exactly what the setting is has helped. TBC.

I've done perhaps a hundred 10->11 migrations, I hesitate to say upgrade with remarkably few problems. Check the GPU driver would be my first step.

Colour me confused but changing format, I would expect Win10 to be NTFS and Win11 to be NTFS, I have never seen a migration change the format.

Anyway, you have signs of classic SSD issues. Usually a format of the drive will help but you need to have your program and data ready to lay back on top.

I only ever see Win11 crashing due to hardware (hardly) and SSD read issues (mostly).
