Strange Chrome Behaviour - High CPU usage even when closed

[UrBaN963]

So I've noticed this happening recently with Chrome. I'll be browsing, Youtubing, whatever and then close chrome. Or sometimes I'll have it open when gaming and just get terrible FPS.

Chrome is nailing the CPU like it's a drunken first date and I have no idea what it's doing. As you can see below, it is closed (was open). No open tabs, it isn't running. Yet CPU usage is at ~60%.

Anyone else having this issue or noticed similar? Only noticed it in the last week but it could have been happening for longer.

It's the pesky Software reporter tool. I disable it - ALWAYS. Never had an issue since.

I use method 3 in the tutorial: Deny it all permissions. Fixed.

If its similar issue to mine, you'll find Chrome running in the pop menu you get whenyou click the arrow next to the time, etc. Right click the chrome icon then click stop running in background (or something similar)

Go to chrome://settings/system - then make sure that the 1st option is turned OFF, to prevent any Chrome background apps from running when you close Chrome.

Already done, also removed a few Extensions. Might just need to go ahead and reinstall it.
