Black screen in chrome after sleep

I'm experiencing black screen in google chrome (and a lot more...read below) after waking windows 10 up from sleep mode.

This issue appears in google chrome and all derived applications, in few words I'm experiencing this in:

  1. Google chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (pretty sure i was having this issue also before)
  2. The new Microsoft Edge browser based on chromium
  3. All the pwa (progressive web apps) installed with chrome or edge

All electron applications like:

  1. Visual Studio Code
  2. Whatsapp
  3. All the Electron applications made by me.

I had this issue for a long time but the spreading of chrome based services is going to make this thing a lot annoying...

I'm using Windows 10 1909 home 64 bit (pretty sure I was having this issue also in windows 10 1903)

WORKAROUND: if in google chrome (or edge chromium) i keep a tab that in the closing prompts a javascript alert, in the moment when the alert is prompted, the issue is gone, the black screen is gone and i can return to see the whole tabs. So after waking up windows 10 from sleep mode, if i see black screen in the browser i can just close it with the cross in the top right corner, in that moment the alert is prompted "are you sure to leave this page?", i answer "no i want to stay in this page" and the issue is gone. Of course this is a workaround cause you can forget to keep that site in the tabs of chrome/edge, and this doesn't resolve the issue in visual studio code.

Starting google-chrome with the --use-gl=desktop seems to work with no side effects.

I had same issue with Fedora, Chrome and NVIDA drivers. At first I tried enbling the vulkan flag.

Go to chrome://flags and enable ignore-gpu-blacklist and enable-vulkan. However, Chrome performance suffers and others have pointed out with this settings.

Found the vulkan tip in a comment here. The use-gl-desktop tip here
