  3. shadows not working on desktop (windows and mouse pointer)

    Hello,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

    • When you say Shadows are you referring to drop shadows?
    • Were you able to get this shadows just after upgrade to Windows 10? If yes, were there any significant software or hardware changes made after that?

    Drop shadow is a visual effect consisting of drawing that looks like the shadow of an object, giving the impression that the object is raised above the objects behind it.

    Method 1:

    If you have not tried the following steps you may check if it helps.

    • • Open Control Panel and click System and security.

      • Click on system.

      • Click on Advanced system settings.

      • Go to Advanced Tab.

      • Select performance.

      • Click settings.

      • Check “Show shadows under windows” and click OK.

    Method 2:

    If the above method does not help, I would suggest you to try different background themes and check if it helps.

    I hope the above information helps. If not, please get back to us with the updated status. We will be happy to assist you further.

    mouse curser shadow still showing even when it's not on the file

    Drop shadows for mouse and windows have disappears

    Original Title: Drop Shadow Is Gone

    Hi,

    Drop shadows for mouse and windows have disappears. I also have aliasing (jagged edges) on mouse pointers that are supposed to be smooth, and are on my windows 7 system. I've updated the graphics drivers, gone into the longer list (can't remember where)
    where is has check boxes for mouse and window shadows, gone back to default theme, everything I could try. Is there anything else?
