My high-end laptop stutter in windows 11 animation still in 2024

Mehrad Asghari 25

Dear Microsoft team! It seems that this problem has not solved still in 2024 despite many complaints by many users across the world.
I have a Dell XPS 9500 with pretty high-end config (Core i7 10750, Nvidia GTX 1650 Ti and 16 GB RAM and with 4K display). The issue is that my machine is running perfect with Windows 10 animations but since I switched to Windows 11, animations of windows like minimizing and opening start menu get so choppy. (it is like 15 frames per second!) This is certainly a common issue from Windows with 4K display machine that has never solved for a long time. Not Dell or Intel UHD concern. All my drivers are up-to-date, and also I updated my BIOS. But everybody knows this is a drawback from windows because we do not have it in Windows 10.
(I should also mention that the issue get worse by enabling the transparency effect) Disabling the animations is not acceptable for me. Any help would be appreciated to solve this long-term problem before I switch to MacBook Pro. Thanks in advance

Hello It seems that you’re not alone in experiencing this issue. Other users with similar setups have reported similar problems with Windows 11 animations, especially on 4K displays. Here are some suggestions that might help: Adjust Visual Effects: You can try adjusting the visual effects settings in Windows. To do this, open the start menu and search for “Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows”. Select the “Visual Effects” tab then choose the animation effects you want to turn off. Change MenuShowDelay: You can try changing the MenuShowDelay option in the Windows Registry. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop, double-click on the MenuShowDelay option and change the Value data option to any choice between 0 and 4000. To speed up the animations, input a small value that ranges from 0 to 150. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up-to-date. You can download the latest drivers from the NVIDIA, Intel, or Dell websites. Check for Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows 11 is up-to-date. Microsoft may release updates that could improve performance. Disable Transparency Effects: As you mentioned, disabling transparency effects can improve performance. However, since you prefer to keep the animations, this might not be the ideal solution for you. Please note that these are general suggestions and might not completely resolve the issue. As this seems to be a common problem with Windows 11 on 4K displays, it might require a future update from Microsoft to fully address this issue.

Dear Wesley, Thanks for your kind feedback. In spite of everything I've done (including what was included in your suggestions) the UI experience is not as great as MacBook products. Even older intel based MacBook machines perform better than my 2000$ Dell and the point is that this is a certain problem with windows 11 animations. I don't know why nobody cares about this in such a big company like Microsoft. Switching between desktops is another terrible experience too. It's so choppy. Not to mention that turning HDR mode and Transparency effect makes the problem even worst! I'm completely disappointed. It should be a department in Microsoft who cares about these drawbacks. Yet so far nothing has changed and apparently, the smooth-animations experience is only accessible through PC which have discrete graphic card and can fully rely on it while it's not possible in laptops. I ordered my M3 MacBook for the next week but I hope Microsoft perceive this as a serious problem with 4K machines for whatever it takes and cost to maintain their reputation and stay in competition.

whats even funnier is that when running windows 11 through a parallels vm on my m2 pro macbook pro the animations run buttery smooth at 120hz, compared to being really laggy on my XPS 15 9520.

Well, for God sake as a user we shouldn't tweaking or turning off a stuff that already camewith it, those animations and transition is a part of the visual design. Why we should experience the Out Of The Box experience with such as clunky, jittery, choppy and laggy experience?, does team of microsoft is not capable to just fix the most very basic thing on their os that most of user hated it? The basic thing! The fundamental things! The UI/UX!. However when I try to downgrade to the version of 21h2, magically those jittery choppy animations are gone. It's not there, and I assuming that those bugs are start appearing in 22h2 and 23h2 and so on. So why Microsoft, why you can't even fix the most of basic stuff in your OS? I mean, 144hz screen theoretically should feels smooth, but in reality my RTX3060 144hz 32gb of RAM was suffering with this idiotic problematic animation, it's funny that you recommended to us to turn off most of esthetics things rather you people fix those issue. I will downgrade to windows 10

Even the funniest thing is, microsoft forcing you to upgrade to Windows 11 "in the name of security", yet instead of just gave the user only security update, they also gave the user another problematic update, and that's why people hate windows 11, it's slow and it's full of bugs, I know minority people love 11, but majority is disappointed with it, and I'm glad that your market share of windows 11 was dropping, and now 10 was dominating the users hearts. They loved 10 because it just stable and work, but if you remember and notice, there's some issue with security update KB34441 that bugging me up and microsoft even don't want to or not gonna try to fix those problem, what an idiotic people of Microsoft is, I dare you that Microsoft seems try to bloating the 22h2 of windows 10 and they do it on purpose so people will upgrade to 11 which is even worse implementation of windows os in history

You know what, forget about 24h2, 24h2 means more obsolescence, even intour recent build of windows 11 was still heavily full of bugs, UI/UX with slow slughish animation...

And yet it's funny that most of million user facing this issue and complaining about it, you Microsoft never try to fixing the issue, rather than said to your consumer "buy new hardware", I mean, it's silly that my 2023 RTX30 Gaming Laptop considered low end laptop to just experiences those UI/UX of your windows 11...

Slow, clunky, slughish, jittery, choppy, broken...

And yet your implementation of your webview2 based apps was horrible and still Terrible

And it's even funnier when you admit that you and bunch of your microsoft dev cannot solve the KB5034441 issue...

Remember Microsoft, "in the name of security", you forcing us to move to windows 11, and is that the reasons why you ignoring the issue of KB5034441?

Remember, almost 70% of windows 10 market share, those 70% user just want a stable OS that just works, they don't want act like a monkey beta tester, take a look of you'll holy windows 11, now you makes tons of user as your beta tester, weekly updating a lot of features, alot of bugs, alot of unnecessary features, if you really care about security, then just focus on security while just please don't add unnecessary features that just hogging our hardware resources.

Consumer rights, and yet you exploit those rights, that's what I felt, especially with 11
