I believe this problem is caused by an unwanted change inside the windows registry,

I have this problem where all my windows animations are present except window maximize, minimize and popup animations. I have all window animations turned on. I've tried to tinker with some registry directories that seemed to have something to do with my problem, turning on and deactivating with some settings that seemed to have something to do with it, without success. And hence I'm here to ask for help.

any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,

    I see, I apologize that my previous solution did not work for you. Since you suspect that the issue is caused by a registry change you made in the past, you could try restoring your registry to a previous state before the change was made.

    I will suggest my last ideas:

    You already tried?

    To Turn On or Off Animation Effects via Settings app in Windows 11, do the following:

    -Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.

    -Click Accessibility on the left pane.

    -Click on Visual effects on the right pane.

    -Now, on the right pane, toggle the button to On (default) or off for the option Animation effects per requirement.

    -Exit Settings app when done.

    Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

    Type "regedit" (without quotes) and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.

    Click on "File" in the top left corner of the window and select "Export".

    Choose a location to save the exported file and give it a name.

    In the "Export range" section, select "All" and click "Save".

    Close the Registry Editor.

    Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box again.

    Type "rstrui" (without quotes) and press Enter to open the System Restore tool.

    Follow the instructions in the System Restore wizard to choose a restore point from a time before you made the registry change. Note that this will restore your computer's system settings to the chosen restore point.

    After the system restore is complete, check to see if the window animations are restored.

    Please note that restoring your registry to a previous state can have unintended consequences, so it is recommended to create a backup of your current registry before making any changes. If this solution does not work, you may need to consider other troubleshooting steps, such as updating your display drivers or performing a clean installation of Windows 11.

    Hope this helps with your query,

    If not helps, let me know, I can route to another experts to provide more tips for us!

    Thank you

    Regards,

    R. Cord

    Hi,

    R. Cord here, Independent Expert. Hope you are doing well.

    Based on the video you provided, it looks like the issue you're experiencing with the missing window maximize, minimize and popup animations in Windows 11 is related to a problem with your graphics driver.

    here are some steps you can try:

    Update your graphics driver: Go to the website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest driver for your card. Install the driver and restart your computer to see if the issue is resolved.

    Check your graphics settings: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app, then select "System" and click "Display". Under "Graphics settings", make sure that "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" is turned on.

    Disable unnecessary startup programs: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, then type "msconfig" and press Enter. In the System Configuration window, click on the "Startup" tab and uncheck any programs that you don't need to run at startup. Restart your computer and see if the issue is resolved.

    Check for Windows updates: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app, then select "Update & Security" and click "Check for updates". If any updates are available, download and install them, then restart your computer.

    additional steps you can try to fix the issue with missing window animations in Windows 11:

    Run the Windows Troubleshooter: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app, then select "Update & Security" and click "Troubleshoot". Under "Find and fix other problems", select "Windows Store Apps" and click "Run the troubleshooter". Follow the on-screen instructions and see if the issue is resolved.

    Reset your PC: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app, then select "Update & Security" and click "Recovery". Under "Reset this PC", click "Get started" and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your PC to its default settings. Make sure you back up your important files before resetting your PC.

    Check your power settings: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app, then select "System" and click "Power & sleep". Under "Related settings", click "Additional power settings" and select "High performance". See if the issue is resolved.

    Disable transparency effects: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app, then select "Personalization" and click "Colors". Under "Transparency effects", turn off the toggle switch. See if the issue is resolved.

    Check your virtual memory settings: Press the Windows key + X and select "System" from the menu. In the System window, click "Advanced system settings", then click "Settings" under "Performance". In the Performance Options window, click "Advanced" and under "Virtual memory", click "Change". Make sure that "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" is selected, then click "OK" and restart your computer.

    Hopefully, one of these steps will help you resolve the issue with missing window animations in Windows 11.

    I hope it helps!

    Regards,

    R. Cord

    Hi,

    Thanks for trying to help me with this problem I have, but unfortunately all of the steps you've provided me didn't work. Like I said, I do not think my graphics card is the issue, but rather an unwanted change inside the windows registry, since in the past, I ran some registry changes that would optimize my pc in some way.
