More CPU usage + Bad interaction between Twitch VoDs and GW2

Whenever GW2 is open and has a character loaded into a map, Twitch VoDs become unable to buffer properly. With the stats of the video open, as soon as I log into a map with a character, I can see the size of the buffer (in seconds) start decreasing until it reaches 0 and the video stops playing and starts buffering. It does not happen with Youtube. It does not happen with other online games. It happens in both Firefox and Chrome.

Also, I used to be able to play Overwatch with GW2 open in the background without getting any FPS loss in Overwatch. Now Overwatch is a slideshow even when GW2's CPU priority is set to below normal.

GW2 seems to be using more CPU than it used to. It is sitting at over 75% CPU usage and I'm not even running the game at maximum graphics like I used to. It is also sometimes causing my whole computer to slow down. I have never seen Discord lag so much that it is unable to keep up with typing before. It was not happening the day before the expac came out.

Graphic drivers are up to date. They have recently been reinstalled after cleaning them up with DDU.

After reading this forum I saw that telling people to clean their hardware is a solution that people really like to offer to fix a game that takes more CPU than it should. That's already been done days ago.

I have completely reinstalled the game, but the issue persists.
