While we appreciate all feedback, please remember that we offer no official support for beta \ preview \ developer channel versions of Windows. If you report issues while in any of those early release channels, you should not expect them to be addressed unless it still exists in a retail version of Windows.

Has any more work been done on the issues I posted from the other thread?

Needs 144hz screen animation support. All animations look super choppy on higher refresh rate monitors beyond 60hz.

Is the WindowsFX app supposed to animate the Windows 10 Start Menu? If so, mine is not animating. The windows are, but not the Start Menu.

I'm use 144Hz monitor. All animations looks fine. No chappies or anything like this. Windows 11, AMD RX 580. AMD freesync premium is on.

I should of specified what features need the fix. Its the window drag animation compiz style option that is 60hz only. That is the animation that lags on higher refresh rates.

Start11 also has no animations with windowfx. None of the options work on it. Only on start 10.

Hi SimplexDesigns,

I am unable to recreate your issue, the animations are working for me with Start11 on both Windows 10 and 11, one person in the office was having some issues with it, but it seemed to work properly after a reboot, have you by chance rebooted since install?

Has not worked since it was installed. All other animations work for the windows though.

No mater what setting is set for the start menu animation or style, it just plays the default sliding animation. This is a fresh windows 11 install so I know this is not an issue with the os but with either Start11 or WindowFX 6. Rebooting does nothing, reinstalling the application does nothing.

Video of the issue:

Wobbly window movement set to compiz lags, not fluid on higher refresh rate monitors above 60hz. Please address this as well, I would love to use this option but it does not play nice with 144hz refresh rate. Windowfx wobbly window animation style works on 144hz fine though. I cant show this in video form but can be replicated on a machine you guys may have that has a refresh rate higher than 60hz. Imagine looking at something that moves smoothly and then something that stutters badly in a game when it starts to drop frames. Thats what the window animation looks like when dragged with Compiz effect.
