Windows 10: Why does Windows 10 keep disabling animations?

One day my laptop was slow, so I decided to turn off animations via. Performance Settings in the Advanced System Settings. I changed it to "Adjust for best performance", applied it, and pressed 'Ok'. I realized, I wasn't happy with Windows having no animations. So, back to the Performance Settings, I turned the animations back on with the custom settings. I had checked every box. Clicked 'Apply', and pressed 'Ok'. It all seemed fine until I restart or turn off my laptop and turn it back on again. For some reason, the animations were turned off. I checked the settings once more and find that some boxes were turned off. Now, every time I turn them back on and restart my laptop, they're automatically turned off. If anyone can help, that would be great.

How to disable UI animation in Windows 10 Mobile

920, but I do not expect it should be phone model specific.

The issue is I could not find a way how to disable animations built in the Windows 10 Mobile UI like "Opening an application", "Returning to Start", "Opening an application from app list", "Returning to app list", "Settings animation", "Resuming background
app". To better understand what kind of animations I mean see .

 

Office disables Windows animations

I've had this problem with Office 2007 and still have it with Office 365 under Windows 10 on different computers. Under certain conditions, opening multiple Office documents stops Windows animations from working, even though Windows settings still shows
that animations are enabled.

To replicate the problem:

• In an Office document (I've tried it with both Excel and Word) insert a link to another Office document.
• Follow the link
• When the linked document opens, Windows animations no longer work - you need to go to Windows' Display settings and turn 'Show animations in Windows' off and back on again to restore animations.

Note:

• The problem is only apparent when linking from one Office document to another - linking to a PDF file, for example, does not cause this problem.
• I haven't checked whether ALL animations stop working - the one I've noticed for sure is the animation when switching from one virtual desktop to another.

Although not a life-threatening bug, this is still an inconvenience.

Office disables Windows animations

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

This can happen when Windows tries to choose performance over display/graphic effects. I would request you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1: Disable hardware acceleration in Office

1. Start any Office program.
   

1. On the File tab, click Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, click Advanced.
3. In the list of available options, click to select the Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box.

Method 2: Update the graphic drivers: Please follow the steps mentioned in the article:

Update drivers in Windows 10 to update the graphic drivers.

Hope this helps.
