Frame Rate Limiter - Background Application setting in Nvidia Profile Inspector causes sluggish UI performance in VS Code even in the foreground #212587

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open the Nvidia Profile Inspector.
  2. Navigate to the Frame Rate Limiter - Background Application setting.
  3. Set a low FPS value (e.g., 5 FPS).
  4. Open VS Code.
  5. Observe sluggish UI performance when scrolling or typing, even when VS Code is in the foreground. The background application setting is being applied to the foreground application.

thank you soo much

Can confirm I've had the limit set to 20fps for ages wondered why VSCode always felt slow

Maybe this is related, but I had the same issue, and also noticed that smooth scrolling only works when the app is not in focus. (e.g. I click into another window, and then hover my cursor over vscode and scroll, it will be smooth. However, if I click into vscode and then try scrolling again, the scrolling is no longer smooth.)
