Expected Behavior

GPU behaves normally, no errors logged.

Actual Behavior

After a few minutes upon starting the App, the following message logs:

[16060:0103/160518.653:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(457)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled, ANGLE is

the application doesn't crash directly but it seems as though hardware acceleration is disabled anf it quietly fallsback to software rendering, which leads to worse performance / dropped frames.

Did some intense Google search and found a lot of similar errors throughout the Web, all relating back to Chromium. This error doesn't appear in older version of Electron but affects all recent ones.

It may have also todo with an Nvidia driver, since I recently updated that to the latest version.
