Windows 10: Chrome 87 is out with massive performance upgrade on Windows 10

Google has introduced a new set of features in Chrome 87 that could reduce Chrome’s memory and CPU usage significantly on Windows 10. Google Chrome 87 introduces tab throttling and other tweaks to make the browser faster on devices with Windows operating system.

Google can now better manage your computer resources by preventing background tabs (inactive tabs) from triggering CPU-intensive tasks. This is done by throttling JavaScript Timers to once per minute. Google believes that reducing the impact of JavaScript Timers on CPU could significantly improve Chrome’s performance.

Interesting, background features including push notifications and audio will still work when the JavaScript Timers are throttled. According to tests conducted by Chromium developers, the update could even extend the battery life of some devices.

Google has also confirmed that it’s working on “Occlusion Track” feature for Windows, but it’s rolling out gradually.

The feature already works well on Chrome OS and it’s finally coming to Microsoft users.

The concept of Occlusion Track is similar to heatmap as it allows Chrome to know which windows and tabs are visible to you. Based on the visibility of the tabs, Chrome will automatically apply optimization to active tabs and allow users to access web pages faster.

Currently, any native window from any app could occlude the root window of the browser, which forces Chrome to unnecessarily consume resources when a root window is occluded.

After the update, Chrome will receive a signal from the OS to avoid computation of the occlusion unnecessarily.

In addition, users might notice improvements in the launch time of Google Chrome for Windows 10.

“This is contributing to increased speed on user’s machines because we are reducing the power and memory consumption for occluded foreground tabs to that of non-active background tabs,” Google said.

For mobile users, Google is improving backwards and forward caching system.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft is also working on a new feature called ‘Sleeping Tabs’ that will cut down background usage of the inactive tabs to relocate resources to active tabs.

Google is currently planning to roll out these improvements in the coming weeks. However, some users may not get the performance upgrade this year due to the throttled rollout approach.

“There will be a more extensive rollout plan to actually act on the signal this API is offering in terms of throttling, discarding, or backgrounding occluded tabs,” the company said.

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
I won't buy a key, stupid.

I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
is that causing the problem?

From Why can't I activate Windows?

If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

• Go to Start
  
  , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
• Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.
  
  Note
  • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack
