Our Operating System is the key to interact with our computer, depending on how we offer the different functions it will be easier or not to interact with it. One of the things that makes it easier for us to use is the possibility of customization and that is why Windows 10 has succeeded.
Although previous versions already had certain visual options, Windows 10 maintains them and also adds new ones. Everything you need to make your computer personal is in your own Operating System.
But not everyone likes what a System brings by default, however much it has been done with the intention of satisfying everyone is a complicated task. Therefore, we must know what options we have for change and how to execute them. One of the visual elements that we will talk about here is the shading of the windows, icons or other elements that appear on the screen.
Keep in mind that everything superficial that you see at the visual level has a direct impact on the system, that is, the animations and visual effects affect the performance of your equipment and therefore without doing anything we can see how there is much of the RAM consumed If we don't care much about having so much detail, you can disable some of these functions and even all of them.
If you want your System to work more smoothly and you don't mind sacrificing some detail of the interface, learn how to remove the shading of windows, icons and other elements in Windows 10.
