After the recent updates I have started noticing this weird gltich on chrome which causes my dektop apps to show up when I launch chrome. I thought it was just a one off bug but I have started facing this even more after the updates. Right now I am using chrome 94.0.4606.81 and the bug still persists.
This gif may explain what I'm trying to say:

I am using NVIDIA 1650Ti + integrated Intel graphics
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here ? Or is someone facing the same issue ? Also how can I fix this ?
