This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable showing shadows under windows for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Windows 11 will show shadows under windows by default.
The shadow visual effect is only for aesthetic purposes, so you can disable showing shadows under windows if wanted.
The "Show shadows under windows" setting is saved to the UserPreferencesMask REG_BINARY value in the key below in Registry Editor.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
EXAMPLE: Enable or disable "Show shadows under windows"
Here's How:
1 Open Visual Effects Performance Options (SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe).
2 Check (enable - default) or uncheck (disable) Show shadows under windows for what you want. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on OK.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
