It seems like you are experiencing issues with the shadowing effect in Windows, particularly with how inactive windows are displayed. While the context provided does not directly address your specific issue with screen shadows, it does mention that disabling the "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager" service can affect certain graphical features, including shadows.
To potentially resolve your issue, you could try disabling this service, which may help with the shadowing behavior:
- Click the Start button, type
services.msc
, and press ENTER. - Locate and double-click the "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager" service.
- Change the Startup type to "Disabled" and click "Stop."
- Apply the changes and restart your computer.
Keep in mind that this will disable Aero features, which could impact the overall visual experience of your Windows environment.
