Windows packs a bunch of animation designs that make your UI experience more exciting. In fact, if you disabled all the animation settings that your Windows is running right now, your Windows experience will suddenly turn much less fun. But in the real world almost nothing comes for free; these eye-catching animations, therefore, come at a cost to your computer resources.
In cases like these, it might be best to disable your minimize and maximize animations on your Windows, especially if you're facing any issues with speed and memory. In this article, we've tried to focus on precisely that.
How to Disable Minimize and Maximize Animations on Windows
To disable the animations for your minimize and maximize settings, you'll have to head to the System Properties window. You can set up a shortcut to open System Properties, or you can follow the steps below:
- Head to the Start menu search bar, type in the 'control panel,' and select the best match.
- Select System and Security > Advanced system settings.
- Then click on the Advanced tab in the System Properties and click on the "settings" button under Performance.
- Uncheck the Animate windows when minimizing or maximizing the radio box and select OK.
That's it. Follow the above points step by step, and your animation settings will be disabled immediately, and your minimize and maximize features will function without any animations.
If you change your mind at a later time, however, you can quickly enable the minimize and maximize animations on your Windows by clicking on the Let Windows choose what's best for my computer radio box and selecting OK. Do this, and the animations will be back again.
Disabling the Minimize and Maximize Animation Feature on Windows
Turning off the minimize and maximize features of your Windows can boost your PC's performance. The only cost will be your UI experience, which will be made much more straightforward and coarser than before. But if you can't use your PC without facing a new glitch every second, turning off this effect might not be a big trade-off.
This is, of course, one of many ways to manage your animations on Windows; there are a lot of them you can try out.
