Disable Aero Shake on Windows
Aero Shake minimizes all windows as soon as you hold a window with the mouse and shake it back and forth. This can be helpful, but it can also be annoying. The following steps deactivate the feature.
- Press the "Windows" and "R" keys simultaneously so that the "Execute" command opens.
- Enter "regedit" here and confirm with "OK". Then the registry editor opens.
- Navigate to the path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \" on the left.
- If you cannot find the "Explorer" key here, right-click the "Windows" key and select a key under "New". Call it "Explorer".
- Right-click on a free space and select a "DWORD value (32-bit)" under "New".
- Name the value in "NoWindowMinimizingShortcuts", open it with a double click and set the value to "1".
- Close the two windows and restart Windows. Aero Shake is then deactivated.
