  2. Windows 11 Virtual Desktop Animation

    Hi, is there a way to enable virtual desktop switching animation in Windows 11? When I'm switching to another virtual desktop using Ctrl+win+left/right or swiping 4 fingers on the trackpad, it instantly changes to the other desktop.
    I've read some threads on this issue which claimed that microsoft removed the feature entirely in Windows 11. But in another laptop with the same version of windows, both ctrl+win+left/right arrow and 4 finger swipe shows the animation.

    (I'm running Windows 11 Pro 10.0.2200 Build 22000)

    Thanks.

  3. Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Switching Animation

    I recently discovered the option to use multiple virtual desktops in Windows 10, and I've already found it to be useful for quickly switching between programs without having to minimize windows and look through tabs to find what I have open.

    One use I thought it would be good for would be quickly switching between two desktops, one with a videogame in fullscreen being played and another with, say, a program displaying system temperatures open, to be able to easily transition from playing a game
    to checking on my system to make sure it's running well. However, upon trying this, I found it wasn't all great. It works as expected, but when using the Ctrl + Windows + Arrow key shortcut to switch from the desktop the game is running on to the other one,
    I found that the game will be be minimized when I switch back to the desktop it is on, and the animation for switching from the game desktop to the secondary desktop does not play properly when the game is in fullscreen - it will instead show a black screen
    for roughly the duration of the normal animation, and then the desktop I was switching to will appear with no animation at all. This isn't the smooth experience I was hoping to get, so I'm wondering if there is some way to fix both of these problems - the
    animation not showing when switching from a desktop with a fullscreen game running on it, and that fullscreen game now being minimized when I get back to it.

    Any help would be appreciated, as this is a feature I want to make use of but will refrain from using if issues such as these exist.

    Virtual desktop switching animation not working on windows 11

    Virtual desktops animations are slow


    Hey,

    I have a powerful laptop with Windows 10 Pro installed :
    • CPU : i7-4712HQ @2.3Ghz
    • RAM : 16 GB
    • Video : Nvidia GeForce GT 750M

    When I switch between virtual desktops the animations are pretty laggy, which it's kinda weird, because on my Surface 3 Pro which is a low weaker than this laptop the animations are very smooth.

    Do you have any idea of what I can try ?

    PS : Animation is not so slow, but it has some lag. I also have in the Intel and Nvidia Graphics all set up to high performance.
