Windows 10: Chrome background tabs NOT loading until focused..

Version 75.0.3770.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
This problem seems to be across all chromium builds in my computer: Google Chrome, Brave, Opera
Any new tab that I open keeps on loading forever "fake loading" until I select it; only then it loads normally
I JUST CAN'T know what causes it! It happened out of nowhere when I switched to Windows 10, I was on Windows 7/8.1 loading pages normally without any of the said issues.. When I looked it up online some people say it is NORMAL since 2015 caused by ram being filled but it isn't, none of my friends has it and I have 8 gigs of nearly free ram since I've a freshly installed Windows 10. Please help I'd be really really thankful..
PS: Tried resetting whole browser to stock default settings and problem persists.

If you have found a theme that is almost acceptable but would like to
customize it further, this is how you do that in steps.

Step 1 : Allow the viewing of hidden files

1. In the Control Panel, open File Explorer Options.
   
2. Go to the View tab for a list of advanced settings
   
3. Under "Hidden files and folders" click "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
   
4. Click OK
   

Step 2 : Find your theme

1. Open Windows Explorer
   
2. Navigate to
   C:\Users\[user-name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
   
3. Sort by date descending the list of folders that have strange names
   to find your theme (should be the most recent one).
   

Step 3 : Modify the theme

1. In the folder of the theme (or a sub-folder), open the file
   manifest.json in a text editor.
   
2. Find the "colors" section which will look like this:
   
   

and also :

1. The color of the bookmarks text is given by "bookmark_text"
   and the numbers inside the parenthesis contain the RGB values
   (red, green, blue).
   
2. Change the number to the color you like. You may use a color-picker
   for that (picker1
   or picker2
   or any other).
   
3. If you wish to change the background color of the header,
   this is unfortunately specified by an image
   in "theme_toolbar". You could use the
   Chrome Theme Creator to build another one.
   
4. Save your changes and restart Chrome.
   

I suggest making a copy of the theme's folder before modifying
the file manifest.json as a backup.

Open in new TAB in IE. That new tab should load in background.

It’s really annoying problem for years, acknowledged by most browsers, specially @Opera.

Open in new TAB in IE. That new tab should load in background.

Open in new tab is most of the times used for selecting articles to read while at the same time those “new tab articles” are loaded in the background.

I hate seeing the same mistake at IE again.
