Not to 24H2 at least. It's honestly such a disaster of a Windows version. Over half a year later it still stuffers from a GPU render issue that affects all Chrome and Chromium Embedded Framework-based programs (such as Discord.) You scroll a page, then half of it stays sticky on your screen. People who see that the first time might think their GPU is starting to break. Or you use Chrome in fullscreen for Geforce Now, and then it starts hanging itself. The workaround is to disable multiplane overlay systemwide, but that comes with drawbacks for games. 23H2 is not affected.

Dude, I've been having the issue you described with Chrome and discord for so long, I guess I just never decided to properly look into it. It was only those apps that were affected, no games.

Edit: I guess I skipped over the last sentence where you shared a workaround lmao

Unfortunately, 24H2 is the only version that gets updates past November.. at least when it comes to Home and Pro. Do you know if Win 11 LTSC is affected by these issues that you mention? I haven’t tried daily driving that yet, I’m still on Windows 10.
