How to Disable Transparency Effects in Windows 10Īlthough toned down significantly from the Aero Glass interface introduced in Windows Vista, Windows 10 still includes transparency effects in the Start Menu, Desktop Taskbar, and Action Center (technically, the correct description of this visual effect should be “ translucent,” but both Microsoft and Apple describe it in their respective operating systems as “transparent”). Many users prefer the transparency effect in Windows 10 as it provides an interesting look that meshes well with a user’s desktop wallpaper image.
