Slow Graphics in Windows 8
-
I have a WinForms application that moves a group of points around with the mouse. The code has worked fine on Win 98, XP and Vista. It was slow under Win7, until I disabled the Aero stuff and then it was fine there, too. Now under Win8 it's acting just like on Win7 with Aero activated. I've checked to make sure the graphics drivers are updated, and even gone to Control Panel and set things for Optimum Performance rather that Optimum Appearance. No difference at all. Does anyone know what might be done? This is a show stopper! The program uses plain GDI and is in C#.

Disable Aero for Win8 ;)
If you figured out how to disable Aero in Win 8, I'd love to hear about it. I thought about that first.

Joke is joke, but come back to reality... The transparent borders/glass effect as Aero themes are gone in Windows 8. Many useful information you'll find here: http://superuser.com/questions/445971/disable-aero-on-windows-8[^] Although, above information isn't friendly much, there is a possibility to disable some visual options, which can help to improve performance: 1) Go to Control Panel-> (in Icon View) click
Easy Of Access Center2) FindExplore All Setting section3) Go toMake things on the screen easier to seesection and findTurn off all unnecessary animation (when it possible)and Remove background images (when available) 4) Check both options That's all. I hope it helps. -

I hope it helps.I tried all of that months ago before posting the message, even talked to Microsoft. I also investigated graphics card issues - no change. It appears they have changed something inside the Win8 graphics kernel so that part of Aero is built-in and cannot be disabled conventionally.
