Windows 10 is full of distractions, one time I thought my display was broken - transparency on title bar. And animations just add latency.

Disable transparency and windows animations (Settings > Display > Show transparency on Windows, Show animations in windows). Also disable "Fade or slide menus into view". Much better experience and not much to offload.

I just went through my settings on my work machine and:

* Disabled transparency

* Disabled animations

* Disabled scroll-bars being auto-hidden

Unfortunately, I couldn't find "Fade or slide menus into view", but the rest of the settings are night and day! Thank you.

You are welcome! I would not find myself:

* My Computer

* Right click

* Properties

* System properties

* Advanced

* Performance

* Settings

* Uncheck "Fade or slide menus into view"

* Apply / OK

I recommend to enable colors on Window Title Bar. It really improves visibility of foreground window.
