Issue appears to be resolved somewhat by using --disable-gpu, but as this is a different issue to #781, I thought it prudent to post the issue in case there was something that could be done with electron to make it play nice.

In retrospect, same issue also appears to be observed in Twitch Studio, but isn't apparent in OBS so guessing this is electron-specific.

hopefully gets fixed once upgrading electron to newest #714

@mifi problem was caused by the hardware-accelerated gpu scheduler, enabled by default in windows 11, available on some versions of windows 10 (disabled by default).

hoping there's something in electron/chromium to say "don't deprioritise" ?

@mifi p.s. I suppose you could technically close this as no fix needed, but on the off-chance there's something one can do at the electron level.... 🤷‍♂️

seems like a bug in windows or electron yea. not sure what i can do about it, so let's close. new electron version of llc coming soon
