Game client freezing when Youtube video playing in 2nd screen.

Hi,

this happened multiple times now, so I think it warrants a thread.
Following Computer Setup
Windows 11 Pro
CPU: AMD 7900X
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super
64GB RAM
2 Monitors

PoE2 is running in windowed fullscreen mode on my main monitor. I have a browser window and PoB open on second monitor. I have only encountered this problem when I have a youtube video playing on my second monitor, multiple times now. The game client just freezes, but the background music keeps playing. I tried waiting a few minutes but nothing happened. Without youtube it runs for hours without problems. So I assume there is some interaction going on in the gpu/video rendering space.

I first had and older NVIDIA Driver Version 580.97 and have since updated to 591.59. That did not help.

Not sure if it maybe is something in my settings.

Could be a bit of a stretch that you havent considered, but dont run YT in a second screen and see if that helps?
