Issue: Sluggish after Nvidia 570 driver upgrade
Labels: freeze-slow-crash-leak


Type: <b>Bug</b>

I upgraded my desktop from 560 to 570 using the open kernel module driver. After restarting my system, user input to VSCode has become very laggy.
Things I've tried with no change in behaviour:
> code  --disable-gpu
> disabling all extensions and restarting

VS Code version: Code 1.96.4 (cd4ee3b1c348a13bafd8f9ad8060705f6d4b9cba, 2025-01-16T00:16:19.038Z)
OS version: Linux x64 6.8.0-51-generic snap
