What is Aero?
Windows Aero feature was first introduced with the release of Microsoft Windows Vista. With the help of this feature Windows provides a glassy look of all menus and boxes. This glassy transparent look adds eye soothing beauty to the interfaces offered by Microsoft Windows. However sometimes Windows Aero is not by default enabled and even if it is manually enabled by the users it doesn’t work at all. In such cases Windows administrators are required to force enable this feature from Windows registry.

1 Logon to Windows 8 computer with administrator account.

6 Once selected, right click anywhere in the right pane and go to New.
7 From the appeared submenu click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.
8 Rename the new DWORD (32-bit) Value as UseMachineCheck and double-click on it to set its value as 0.
9 Repeat steps 6 and 7 for two more times to create Blur and Animations DWORD (32-bit) Values and set their values as 0.
10 Once done, close Registry Editor Window.
