    This is written documentation that Windows purposely and intentionally plans to interfere with competitive products running on all Windows platforms, as stated by a Windows certified expert.

    Efficiency Mode is the culprit.

    Adding the flag --disable-features=UseEcoQoSForBackgroundProcess to shortcuts for Chromium browers disables it. For Firefox, you have to set dom.ipc.processPriorityManager.backgroundUsesEcoQoS in about:config to false.
