Disable Shadow and Animation Effects to Improve Performance:
By default, Windows 10 and all its previous version comes with eye catching shadow and animation effect that looks beautiful but this feature compromise with system performance. Extra effects and animation increase CPU and RAM loads, which results in slow system performance (High Speed CPU and Higher RAM works well). The situation became worse if you have got no great power CPU and and have minimal RAM.
But hey! Microsoft has added few options to disable shadow and animation effect.
Open System > Properties > Advanced system settings. Now click on Settings available under Performance group in Advanced Tab.
Quick Tips: You can also run sysdm.cpl command in Windows RUN (Win +R) box to open System Properties.
Under the Visual Effects make sure all the options are unchecked that are showing in yellow colour (highlight) in the screenshot below.
Once you disable the above animation effects, Windows 10 will speedup automatically and you will feel some difference in system performance.
Quick Tips: You can also select Adjust for best performance option to apply this tweak instantly.
