Windows 10: Why does my apps keep freezing when spending time in another tab?

So this issue first started with discord so i thought that it was just an issue with discord, but as more time went on i noticed this happening on other apps too. When i spend some time on another tab for example, if i went into discord and had a video or something playing on chrome when i tabbed back into chrome it would be frozen for a good 10-15 seconds. This happens with other things too like some games, other apps i use and chrome. It doesn't really effect stuff much its just very annoying and i didn't have this issue until about maybe a month ago.

Command line/tab

OK, thanks!
(I assume maybe this was suggested before...)
May I ask, what exactly does such a routine have in mind - why look at tabs 1, then 2, then quickly close the app?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

From what you have mentioned, I would suggest you to try these steps to see if it resolves the issue.

Method 1: Hardware Troubleshoot

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your touch pad.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select
  Control panel

• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to
  Large icons
  
• 
  Click on troubleshooting and click on the
  view all option on the left panel
  
• 
  Run the Windows Store apps troubleshooter
  
  Refer the link below.
  
  Note: Please don’t run app troubleshooter in the link. This applies to windows 10 also.
  
  Redirecting
  
  Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help
  

 

Command line/tab

No plans to implement that. Many users (including me) look at tab 1, then click sensors tab 2 quickly and close the app. Expectation is that it will start at tab 1 again.
