Turn Off Visual Animations in Windows 10

[viveknayyar007]

Even though the visual animations that Windows 10 displays while performing some tasks such as minimizing or maximizing the opened windows, opening or closing the menus, etc. make the operating system look advanced and attractive, they consume processing power.

If you have your Windows 10 on a computer with low hardware specifications, leaving the visual animations enabled may reduce its performance, and sometimes you may even experience lag.

To avoid such issues while running Windows 10 on an old computer, it is advisable to turn off the visual animations altogether.

Here’s how you can do so:

■Log on to your Windows 10 computer with a local or Microsoft account.
■Click the Start button when on the desktop screen.
■From the left pane of the Start menu, click Settings.



■From the SETTINGS window, click Ease of Access.



■When the EASE OF ACCESS window opens, from the left pane, click to select the Other options category.



■From the right pane, from under the Visual options section, slide the Play animations in Windows button to the left to turn off the animations.



■Optionally, you can also slide the Show Windows background button to the left to keep Windows from showing the desktop wallpaper.
■You can also make other changes using the configuration options available in the interface as needed.
■Once done, close the EASE OF ACCESS window.
■If needed, restart the computer to allow the settings to take effect.
