How to disable Aero Shake

If you are like me, and are incredibly annoyed by the fact that windows will minimize all windows if you shake a window around. I often do this while waiting for a large file to transfer or laoding screen on a webpage.

Here is how you can disable this on Windows 10 Pro.

  1. Go to Run, press command + r
  2. Type gpedit.msc
  3. Go to Local Group Policy Editor
  4. User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop
  5. Double-click on **Turn **off Aero Shake window minimize mouse gesture
  6. Select Enabled, and click OK — [you are enabling the turn off setting]
  7. Restart your computer, for the changes to take effect.

Pretty simple. Why this feature exists, is beyond me.
