How do I turn off transparency effects?

Published in Windows Settings 2 mins read

To turn off transparency effects in Windows 10, you can adjust your personalization settings easily.

Transparency effects make certain elements of the Windows interface, such as the Start menu, taskbar, and Action Center, appear slightly see-through or blurred. Turning them off can sometimes improve performance on older systems or simply be a matter of personal preference.

Steps to Disable Transparency Effects in Windows 10

Based on the provided reference (information as of 26-Dec-2023), here are the steps to turn off transparency effects:

  1. Open the Settings app: Click on the Start menu icon (usually in the bottom-left corner of your screen) and then click on the Settings gear icon.
  2. Go to Personalization: In the Settings window, click or tap the Personalization icon.
  3. Select Colors: In the left-hand menu of the Personalization settings, click or tap Colors.
  4. Find Transparency Option: Scroll down the right side of the Colors settings page until you find the More options section.
  5. Turn Off Transparency: Under More options, locate the Transparency effects toggle switch. Click or tap this switch to turn it Off.

Once you turn the toggle switch off, the transparency effects will be immediately disabled for the applicable Windows interface elements.

You can always follow the same steps and turn the toggle back on if you wish to re-enable the transparency effects later.
