How To Disable Animation Effects On Windows 11?

The original objective for Windows 11 at Microsoft was to provide an OS with the same level of agility as macOS. To achieve this, we used smoother typefaces, animations, shadows, and translucent effects. Windows’ wide variety of devices, in contrast to macOS, over which Apple has direct control, presented difficulties for systems with limited resources. Fortunately, Windows gives users an option to deactivate these visual effects, which allows the system to free up important resources. Presented below is the process.

How can I proceed?

You may disable visual effects in two different ways if your PC isn’t up to the task. The greatest noticeable speed improvements will occur if you eliminate all animations, however you have the option to disable only animation effects to keep certain visual components.

Be warned that if you disable all animations, you will also lose all of the fancy font rendering capabilities. The “Smooth edges of the screen fonts” option must be enabled in such instances.
