### The problem #1175
Description
The problem
On macOS 26 Tahoe, Electron based apps suffer from high GPU usage with the WindowServer process. It turns out the issue was caused by Electron's override of window shadows, and they have fixed it with Electron 36.9.2 / 37.6.0 / 38.2.0. The fix would be simple as it just requires updating of the Electron Framework. Here's more info of the bug: electron/electron#48311
Release version
3.5.2 (arm64)
Operating system
macOS 26 Tahoe
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open GitHub Desktop along with a second Electron app (like VS Code)
