It's the Groove Music App on Build 15042.

That App was doing it the worst but it appears to be 'healing' itself; did some more tweaking, disabling animations and such helps.

I'm just glad this Beta works on this Build! :)

I keep tweaking and report back.

I did a quick check here and it seems the speed is the same with or without WB (that app is painfully slow to resize).

The difference is in the latest insiders a modern app will paint transparency in the area that's not been updated yet vs black as WB is.  WB is also leaving screen dirt of old frame positions.  So same speed, but perceived laggy due to a visual difference (which is how things worked pre the new insiders).  We will make some tweaks to make it more like the default theme.  Still slow, but visually the same.

Say Neil, has there been another release of 10.56 since I reported those issues in Reply #12?
