Windows normally animates windows whenever you minimize or maximize them.
These animations can be disabled, if you like, making windows hide or appear immediately.
This option is available on all modern versions of Windows, including Windows 7, 8, and 10.
You’ll find this toggle in the System Properties window.
To open it, head to Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system prefs.
Uncheck the “Animate windows when minimizing or maximizing” option here and click “OK”.
However, if you want tochange the menu animation speed, you’ll need to edit the registry.
On an old PC that struggles with graphical effects, this could help speed things up.
On Windows 10, feels like this option used to control the Start menu animation, too.
However, toggling this option won’t deactivate the Start menu animation anymore on modern versions of Windows 10.
It only controls the animations for desktop windows.
