I have been playing using this PC for a long time, and when I play this game (Warframe), I always have my browser (which always has 30+ tabs open, for work stuff) and a torrent client app. Everything always went smooth, no lag at all.
Usually, I only play 1 hour-ish, and then I close the game to rest. But last night, I played for 2 hours+. For the last minutes I played, the game was very lagging. That's why I thought "okay, I've been playing for too long, probably I have to restart my laptop to empty the RAM). I closed the game, but the window wouldn't disappear, so I opened Task manager, which was a pain because it wasn't responding too. I deleted the game process from the Task manager, closed my torrent client (without using TM), and when I switched to Chrome window, it was really lagging even though the game & torrent client were already closed. But I managed to close it.
And when I tried to shut down, it turned out it was "update and shut down", I was like okay, since I wanted to have dinner anyway, so I left my laptop.
Half an hour later, it was off. But starting it on was very slow (which isn't usual). Opening Chrome would make the laptop lag very bad, opening a new tab takes 5 minutes+. I didn't even open my game & torrent client. I thought, oh maybe 30 minutes rest is not enough, so I shut it down and went to bed.
This morning, while I could start my laptop as fast as usual, the Steam "updating steam bar" took forever that I even clicked cancel. Then I opened Chrome, which was also fast. But when I opened the game startup menu (not even the game yet), my laptop was loud as fuck, the loudest it's ever been.
But in Task Manager, I realize that something is different with Google Chrome in Task Manager.
Usually, it only has one Google Chrome in the apps section and lots of Google Chrome in the background process section. But now it has Google Chrome (52) in the apps section 
with lots of Google Chromes when I expanded it 
and none in the background process section. Does all of this happen because it used to not open all of them at once? I do realize that all of my tabs are "active", usually I have to click on that tab (especially older tabs that I haven't clicked at all) to reload & get the page.
Usually, it's like this: 
The image is not mine.
How do I fix this? How do I make Chrome send all those processes & pages to background process again? I've turned off Superfetch, even though I was doing fine with it being on before. Oh and is this normal? 130 MB for Windows Defender? 
My problem is similar to his https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/z2ya3elq5xI but too bad there wasn't any solution

"App" vs "background process" has nothing to do with CPU load or RAM allocation. "Apps" are processes that have windows on the desktop. "Background processes" don't.
