    Windows 11 Windows 24h2 slow videos on chromium based browser.

    Hi, Since I updated to 24h2, youtube videos on chromium based browsers (chrome, edge, brave) take around 10 seconds to load. On firefox everything works fine. I tried disabling extension, hardware acceleration, GPU scheduling, new browser installation but nothing worked. Did anyone find a solution?
