Telegram freezes and messes with the video card and leaks RAM after recent telegram update (Win8x64)

[cometstyles]

Steps to reproduce

so after the recent update when i restarted my telegram, it was working fine, and then i went to download a video (file) and it was ok but then i came across a channel which had a video on it and my screen froze.. i originally figured it was temporary and then after 3 minutes noticed the time on my taskbar was not moving which means it crashed my video card, this has never happened to me in 9 months, the last time was around an update in December, after miserably trying to get the task manager to work (which we all know never works when you need it), 5-6 mins later, i saw telegram app was now consuming over 2gb of RAM which doesn't sound bad until u realize that my laptop only has 4GB RAM so it crashed the video card and then started juicing up the RAM lol, uptil this update, telegram worked so smoothly for me on a low 4GB RAM, I'm on Win8, I figured it won't happen again for the 2nd time so i shut every other program off and did it again, and lo and behold, the same thing, except this time i was ready for it on taskmanager an killed it as the RAM Leak was rising over 1.5GB...now i'm scared to turn it on and thus can't use it for my daily downloads :( i looked up its log and i think the issue might be OPENGL

Expected behaviour

well if there was a video on any channel, it should have shown me a snapshot of what it was

Actual behaviour

instead the mouse froze which at that time i figured was the mouse and only later i realised it was the screen freezing cause hovering over the video for like a split second crashed my videocard.. that should never happen.

Can reproduce this issue. This happened to me a few minutes ago after playing some videos on a Telegram channel. I don't think it is a bug in this particular version, as it has happened to me on previous occasions. Previously, disabling hardware video acceleration solved it, but now neither disabling this option nor disabling the Angle graphics backend stops random freezing.

Although I previously thought it might be related to my graphics card or drivers, this freezing only happens to me when watching videos on Telegram Desktop. I bought my current PC recently, it has an RTX 3080 and the latest Nvidia drivers (516.94).
