Enable "Play animations in Windows" using command line

Robin WEISS 0

Hello,

Is there a way to Enable "Play animations in Windows" using PowerShell =

I tried the solution with regedit, to change the value of MinAnimate and/or UserPreferencesMask and/or VisualFXSetting but none of them worked.

It work only if I manually change it under ease of access.

But I use multiple Windows server 2016 part of different Farms that are used as remote desktop session host.

So I need the settings to be applied on all of the users that connect on it.

Any suggestion ?

Regards

I'm pretty sure that's a "per user" setting. The reg key your changing is in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER, right?

You can use a GPO to do this. Otherwise, to make the change for every user a logon script, or maybe a local policy.

Yes it's under HKCU. I created a GPO. the value change in the different registry keys. But the lever button stay disabled in ease of access > other option > "Play animations in Windows"

But like I said, in vsphere using the remote console it's activated, using mstsc it's not
