Random Lag in browser

[RanchTheHay005]

I have this laptop with a i5-8265U and UHD 620graphics and a Geforce MX230 , connected to a VGA monitor via a a HDMI-VGA convertor 

I've been using my laptop like this for a while and then all of a sudden any kind of video play in the browser back or browser scrolling started getting laggy but the general UI (explorer , other apps) are running fine without any lag , even games ran fine without lags

I disconnected the monitor and tried using my laptop directly on its inbuilt monitor and the issue still persisted , but only with video playback in the browser and general browser scrolling , I played games and the lag was not there , even in the external monitor

 

So i did a clean reinstallation of the graphics drivers, tried restarting , and all the other basic fixes like reinstalling the browser and such and yet no avail

Does your browser have GPU/hardware accelleration turned on?

yes it is enabled....I have not changed any settings either....It was working just fine this morning and then randomly it started to lag

 

and this lag is present across all the browsers I have  (edge , operaGX and brave)

They are all chromium based. Did you also try non chromium based browser like Firefox for example?

Does it also happen when you drag window of explorer around quickly?

Yep , I tried firefox and it works fine...no lag or nothing

But Chrome did lag though...even though I freshly installed it today

Nope , only within the browser

Does this work?
