Windows 7 Aero Lag

Windows 7 Aero Animations Stuttering
When windows are opened or closed it appears that a frame or two of the animation is missing.
Animations are slowed down in order to be more clear.
Check out 0:10 and 0:12 for open and close animations respectively.

Same problem here, with GF 9800 GT and Windows 7 x64.

Win 7 sucks bad...

Just because of this animation? I don't think so. Windows 7 is a great operating system.

A comment about my video in a forum: "If you look at this HD video, it appears this guy has the problem and didn't slow the video down. Watch the CPU meter in the top right, it's updating every 1 second while the slow fade-in/fade-out is occurring".

- That's right, there's a registry hack I've done in Windows Vista/7 to slow down Aero animations when you hold the left Shift key.

Much better video than mine :) Any idea how to contact someone from Microsoft about this?

Thank you! :)

There was a Send Feedback link in Beta/RC versions of 7, but not anymore. :(

Happy to report this bug is fixed in the leaked Windows 8 builds. Seems they're just content to leave it for Windows 7.

DWM in W8 seems to work very differently under the hood. System requirements are far lower to get compositing (and by extension, Aero/glass stuff) to work -- you don't even need any hardware acceleration at all. I had it running Aero in Virtualbox. Awesome.

@RadishRaiser windows 7 has some bugs microsoft need to fixe it thorugh service pack or something otherwise belive me its better than windows vista... vista need more powerfull hardware than 7...

i think its fixed on my comp by sheer luck... had disabled all animation effects to make it less noticeable (just the animation) in advanced system settings, i then just enabled everything on the list and its gone now... i dunno know how and why but haven't encountered it since the past 4 days. using sapphire 5670, with ati whql driver 8.791.

@117buster this problem doesn't show up with integrated graphics...
