Windows 10: Speeding up (not turning off) Windows animations (closing/minimizing)

Hi all,

I have been googling on occasion to find a register tweak (or some other windows tweak) to increase the speed of the Windows UI animation, instead of *disabling it*. When turned off it's snappy and all, but it's not a nice experience.

*Example of disabling animation*






I know off the menu speed tweak ->HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay ..





And now i can't help but wonder if there's a similar way to tweak the other animations in windows.

Any tip would be appreciated *Wink

:)

 

N8 tip...

This is a good tip and does speed up home screen changing.



So a question, what do themes do? All my screens seem the same - I did have theme set to Nokia Black but turning it off does not seem to change any appearance only speed.



This doesn't turn off themes it only turns off theme animation, which is basically instead of your menu appearing just like that it slides up from the bottom of the screen or classily disappers when you close it....so it basically just affects the transition
from screen to screen, which leaves you with the choice do you want to watch the menu open or do you want to use it

 

Start Menu is laggy and choppy when multiple windows are opened in the Creators Update

I recently updated to the Creators Update. There is a noticeable lag in the Start Menu when multiple app/program windows are opened. The Start opening animation becomes choppy, same for scrolling in the app list or through the pinned apps. Same goes for
the Action Center animation, or when clicking on the time and date in the taskbar. When I minimize/close all windows, the Start menu is back to being smooth and responsive. Basically all animations are smooth again. But only when all windows are closed/minimized.

I noticed the lag in the menu becomes even worse if there's moving content in some of the opened windows, like a video playing.

This didn't happen in the previous Anniversary update.

What could it be?

A few I have found: among my tweaks.
Code: Specifies the number of times the taskbar button flashes to notify the user that the system has activated a background window If the time elapsed since the last user input exceeds the value of the ForegroundLockTimeout entry, the window will automatically be brought to the foreground reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ForegroundFlashCount" /t REG_SZ /d "0" /f ForegroundLockTimeout specifies the time in milliseconds, following user input, during which the system keeps applications from moving into the foreground / 0 - Disabled / 200000 - Default reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ForegroundLockTimeout" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f Determines in milliseconds the interval from the time the cursor is pointed at a menu until the menu items are displayed reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "MenuShowDelay" /t REG_SZ /d "0" /f Mouse Hover Time in milliseconds before Pop-up Display reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Mouse" /v "MouseHoverTime" /t REG_SZ /d "0" /f[/quote]
