So, with Windows 8 sporting these god-awfully ugly opaque square boxes, which are not adorned in any way whatsoever, (not even the decent in all its simplicity gradient of Windows 98,) it seems like a confession on Microsoft’s behalf that the spiffy “Aero” look of Windows 7 was nothing but an unnecessary gimmick after all.
So, are you sticking with Windows 7 but want to disable Aero in order to enjoy considerable gains in performance, memory, power consumption, and GPU temperature? Here is how:
- Open up “Services”.
- Locate the service “Desktop Window Manager Session Manager”.
- Disable it and stop it.
Enjoy!
