@ChadMcCaffery the gpu process will be launched even when hardware acceleration is disabled, the name is bit misleading but this process is also responsible for software rasterization. The right way to check if hardware acceleration is used should be via loading
chrome://gpuin the application. I will make that page available so that the issue can be clarified further.Side note: @ChadMcCaffery the gpu process failing to launch in your case is a side effect of trying to open the application as an administrator. Due to the nature of sandbox profiles applied to the different processes in the application, you should launch the application as non-elevated to have a stable experience.
@seawalk24 can you please expand on what basis you think the argv.json flag is not working. Thanks!
@hangtwenty the issue you are facing is different, its https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/92420. Please follow that issue for updates.
