Hello, I’m trying to turn off Desktop Composition in Windows 10’s DWM. What’s the reason? I’m experiencing problems when using dual monitors with different refresh rates—my 165Hz display has G-Sync but still freezes at 60Hz when animations occur. This is making my main monitor lock at 60FPS/Hz. I think the problem lies in the DWM settings, especially Desktop Composition, but it’s not as straightforward as on Windows 7.
From Windows 8 onward, Microsoft took away that feature. However, you might find the alternative helpful here: https://superuser.com/questions/1016170/...windows-10
Desktop comp disabling feature is turned off starting from Windows 8.1
It occurred to me recently, though I haven’t tested it yet. Would running the program in compatibility mode yield the same outcome? I assumed disabling compositing would achieve the same result.
I'll attempt it, though I question its effectiveness since the problem lies elsewhere—Windows enforcing V-Sync on the 60Hz display and the taskbar icons flashing are likely the real issues.
Ensure compliance. Also reduce unnecessary code. Backward support often leads to excessive code that demands greater memory and testing effort.
