Office 2013 Upload Center
How does one disable the Office 2013 Upload Center? I am not using office 365 and never turned this functionality on. I have no idea where Office is attempting to upload my files to but I do not want it. Is this a part of the Office Update process.
Please tell me how to turn this off. thank you

Office 2013 Upload Center do not display in notification area
Hello,
I am wanting to hide the Upload centre system task tray icon for Office 2013 on all of our pc's in my organisation, I have found many articles on disabling the service from starting, but this is not my intention.
Instead I wish to use either a registry setting (that I'll set in either the OCT or GPP), an option in the 2013 OCT tool or a setting in the Office 2013 group policy templates to just untick the box that says "Display icon in notification area"
which will still allow the Upload Center to work and be launched from the start menu but will free up Task Tray real estate.
If anyone knows what registry setting will do this that would be great, ideally a machine based setting so I can include it with the OCT, however if it is a user setting I will use Group Policy Preferences to deploy it.Hi,
I captured the registry key by ProcessMonitor, you can test if this works for you:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\FileIO
Value:DisableNotificationIcon
If the value is set to 1, the icon is not displayed; if the value is set to 0, the icon is displayed.

Office 2013 - "Server Versions could not be retrieved"
Hi all,
is there a reason why in case of spaces in the site url the previous versions of office documents could not be retrieved in the corresponding office program under file?
It all works fine with a site that does not have spaces in the url. When renaming the site (with blank in url) it only comes up with the message "Server versions could not be retrieved".
Backstage Area without blanks in the URL
Backstage area with blanks inside the URL:
System: SharePoint 2010 Version: 14.0.7108.5000
Office 2013 Version: 15.0.4551.1509 MSO 15.0.4551.1007 32bit
Thanks for any help!Hi fluxxer,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used Office 2013 to open the document in a library at SharePoint 2010 site whose url contained the spaces.
I did a test as the followings:
Open a site and create a new subsite named ‘testforblank’, the url is
http://sp:3878/testforblank/
Then upload some word and excel files to SharedDcoument library in the subsite
Then open these files with Office 2013, everything was fine
Change the URl to http://sp:3878/test for blank/
Open these files with Office 2013, everything also was fine
Then I created a new subsite , the url is
http://sp:3878/test blank/
Reproduced the step 2-3, everything was fine
Please clear the data cache:
IE: Internet Options->Delete browsing history on exit
Office: Office 2013 Upload Center, select ‘All Cached Files’ after ‘Refresh’, then click on Action->Discard
After clearing data cache, test it again, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Microsoft Office Upload Center
Hello All.
I haven't been able to find any information in regard to its necessity. We've been troubleshooting sync issues, locked file issue and the like. File lock search lead us to an issue with the upload center and so I'm wonder is the upload center even necessary with the web version of Filr or does it strictly use Java? Turns out there is a problem with the caching mechanism in the upload center and files aren't closing properly. The short term solution is to set the center to delete cached docs on close and clear the cache. I'm thinking unless the upload center is used by Filr in any way, why even let it run, disable it.
Thoughts?Hi,
Thank you for using Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From
your description, I understand that
you would like to know where you can see the actual location of Microsoft Office Upload center where the files are saved.
If I have misunderstood your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know. We will work together to resolve this specific issue through the course of the case.
By default, the files are saved on the web. You can also save the uploaded documents to the desktop, and more. These options can be found
under Actions menu.
Meanwhile, I would like to share an article with you:

Files are not getting updated in sharepoint 2013 because of office upload center error
Dear Team,
I am getting upload failed/upload error in Office Upload Center.
Scenario: I opened excel(version is 2013) file from sharepoint 2013 application and closed and after updating. Later when I opened the file I got error like "UPLOAD FAILED We are sorry this didn't work. Try saving again later and if that still doesn't
work, click save a copy."
I found the error is because file is getting upload failed / upload error in microsoft office upload center2013.
Please let me know if anyone know the solution for my issues
Thanks in Advance
GirishHi Girishkg,
The default IIS limit for the upload file size is 30MB. If the selected files are larger than 30MB, the files are not uploaded.
The limit can be set in web application’s web.config file or in IIS .
There are two detailed articles about setting the limit:

Upload Center 2010 error when saving Powerpoint 2010 file to SharePoint 2013
I'm experiencing an issue when attempting to save a Powerpoint 2010 file to our SharePoint 2013 farm. If a user opens the file in Edit mode, when saving the file Upload Center 2010 complains the upload failed, and PowerPoint 2010 displays a message
"Upload Failed The server version of this file was updated by another author" and 2 buttons are displayed "Keep My Version" and "Keep Server Version". This is incorrect though, because I confirmed on the server end
the changes have been made. If a user keeps hitting save, sometimes it won't fail during the upload.
If a user opens a file in Read Only mode, then clicks on the Edit button in Powerpoint 2010 and saves the changes, they are then prompted by the error "Refresh Required This file needs to be refreshed with updates. Click Save to refresh
and retry uploading your changes." Once again this is incorrect, as the changes have already been made in SharePoint.
I've recreated this error on multiple workstations, have tried re-installing Upload Center 2010, and have tried complete repairs of Office 2010. The occur continues to persist. This only occurs with Powerpoint 2010 though, and none of the other
Office 2010 products. I feel this is a bug in Upload Center 2010 with SharePoint 2013, because when I save from PowerPoint 2010 through a WebDAV connection over file explorer, it saves fine without any issue.
Has anyone run into this problem before? Below are some screenshots of the errors.
Here's the error when opening in Edit mode:

Getting the above error message when attempting to uninstall Office 2013 App-V version (downloaded using ODT) in Software Center. There are no office 2013 or App-V processes showing as running in Task Manager. Nothing in event viewer to show what is running
either. Any idea on what could be running and holding the uninstall from completing?Hello,
These issues are caused if the virtual package is used during the attempt to uninstall.
SFTMIME is a legacy command-line interface for App-V 4.6, not supported for usage with App-V 5 (which is the only version that supports Office 2013).
App-V 5.0 SP2 has introduced the ability to divert required actions to next logoff / reboot depending on publishing, if the package is in use.

SharePoint Document Upload Control and Office 2013
Couple of users are using SharePoint 2010 site on Windows 7 via internet explorer 9. They are seeing a red X in the upload control. I checked and they are not using 64-bit edition of Internet Explorer.
Tehy recently got upgraded to Office 2013. Has it got anything to do with it?
Any pointers why they are seeing red X?Hi,
Do you mean that the red X appears on the icon of the “Upload Document” button in the ribbon?
To narrow down the issue, would you mind providing more details about this issue:
1. Is the “Upload Document” the only one button in the ribbon show the red X?
2. Did the red X appear before they upgraded to Office 2013?
3. What if they change the Browser Mode to “IE8”, will this issue still exists?
Feel free to reply with the test result.

Installing Office 2013 Pro Plus RTM x64 on a fresh Windows 8 Pro WMC system.
Used Custom setup procedure to install only the desired software, i.e. unchecking most of the checkboxes.
After setup, a lot of undesirable software got nevertheless installed although it was specifically UNCHECKED at setup time, e.g. "Office Themes", "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation support", "Compare Diagnostics blahblah" + a bunch of outdated truetype
fonts.
No matter how many times we run again the "Change" setup from Windows' "Programs and Features" and uncheck these components, the setup routine does NOT uninstall them, with or without reboot etc. Basically, the Add/Remove function of the setup has NO EFFECT.
The setup also installs (offering no choice or notice to the users) a lot of undesirable bloatware e.g. some "Office Upload Center", "Spreadsheet Compare" etc. and several tasks (Office 2013 Sync-something stuff) & services & explorer hijacks (a greyed-out
"Skydrive Pro", what the...) AGAINST the user's will or consent.
These unwanted apps and hijacks seemingly cannot be uninstalled, not even kept from running and reenabling itself - except if killing the tasks using the Task Manager, then deleting (!) the files from their respective folders, in addition to editing the
registry to get rid of all this stuff. Of course the crap gets reinstalled/reenabled with any further launch of the office setup...
Reminds me a lot of bad practices by malicious software. :|
Office techs and engineers, PLEASE don't promise a customized setup option if it's for it to be snake oil... And don't offer a post-setup "Add/remove" or "Change" routine that has absolutely no effect whatsoever... And don't install unneeded/undesirable
useless features as tasks and hijacks that cannot be killed or get rid of...
Or at least please mention explicitely that you know better than users themselves, what they want and need and decide... :)
As a sidenote, the same issues were present with Office 2010 Pro Plus SP1 - Sharepoint stuff and office themes and all that jazz was already installed even when deliberately left unchecked, and could never be uninstalled afterwards.Hi,
First, I want to confirm with you that whether you install Office via MSI or Click to Run.
Only volume-licensed versions of Click-to-Run installations can be customized using the Click-to-Run Admin Tool. Retail versions of Click-to-Run, however, do not support the use of the Admin
Tool or provide any user interface based customizations to the product. These versions, for example, do not allow the user to choose what applications or features to not install or even the location of the installation files.
If you used MSI installation, then check to see the steps in the link below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/install-or-remove-individual-office-programs-and-components-HA010354261.aspx
Note: We can’t remove Office programs individually after the suite has been installed. You must uninstall Office completely, and then reinstall it using a custom installation.
Also, here’s a link about Office Customization Tool changes in Office 2010, the
Office Customization Tool is part of the Setup program and is the primary tool that administrators use to customize an Office 2010 client installation:

Office 2013 with OneDrive Desktop sync conflicts
I am using Office 2013, and I am on Windows 8.1 with OneDrive setup. I keep some files Offline and OneDrive syncs it for me which is cool. But when I installed Office 2013, when I edit Excel files, I notice that there's an Uploading to OneDrive message at
the bottom while saving. Then I was prompted with a conflict during the sync. Isn't this because OneDrive is already syncing it and Excel is syncing it again that's why this happening?
How do I disable Excel (or probably Word as well and other apps in Office) to stop saving directly to OneDrive? How do I disable the Office Upload Center that keeps on popping in the System Tray? I am already fine with the sync being done by the OneDrive
Desktop. Previously, there was an option to disable Office sync from the OneDrive Desktop icon in the System Tray, but it is now gone and I couldn't find it anywhere else. Where do I find it now?To disable/configure this open up the Task Scheduler and click on the
Task Scheduler Library node. You should see a task here labelled
Microsoft Office 15 Sync Maintenance for USERNAME.
Disable the whole trigger (right click and choose disable) or change the Properties of this to amend the trigger that starts the job. For instance, you can delete the trigger that starts on user log on.
The other way is to find MSOSYNC.EXE and OSPPSVC.EXE on Disk C:, delete them:
1. Open task manager and kill MSOSYNC.EXE and OSPPSVC.EXE
2. Search C: for MSOSYNC.EXE and note which one is the actual Office folder, then delete them all
3. Go to the Office folder and create a MSOSYNC.txt file and edit it to put the quit command in it.
4. Rename the file to MSOSYNC.EXE and then change the permissions so the user owns it, and remove all permissions except for the user which should have all except WRITE.
5. Reboot
This method above is like cheating, you can make fake MSOSYNC.EXE and OSPPSVC.EXE so that they can't even run.
Anyway, Microsoft doesn't recommend you disable the Upload center.

Office 2013 Crashes when Opening Downloaded Files
Hello,
I am running Office 2013 on Windows 7; anytime I attempt to open a Word document that has been downloaded from my email, the program crashes. I see the Word splash screen, then the document opens for about two seconds, then it crashes. Upon reopening
Word, I am prompted to repair the program. After I repair the program and reopen Word again, I am prompted to reactivate the software.
If the attachment is saved directly to the computer, then opened from Word internally, the program works fine. I have already unchecked the boxes in the Trust Center and disabled the COM add-ons.
Any assistance would be appreciated!Hi,
I’m a little confused about the difference between “open a Word document downloaded from your email” and “attachment is saved directly to the computer”. What is the difference between
them?
Do you open the document on OWA or from Outlook client?
If there is no issue when opening it from OWA, this issue may be related to Outlook client.
Let's troubleshoot this from running Outlook in Safe Mode, to determine if it is 3rd-party add-ins related. Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter. Then we may try to open the attachment, if there’s no problem in Safe
Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We may also perform a clean boot to determine if background programs are interfering with Word:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If Word crash still appears on local disk, we can analyze crash file.
Let’s enable app crash dump collection by copying following words into notepad, saving it as dump.reg and importing it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\localdumps\WORD.EXE]
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,64,00,75,\
00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00
"DumpCount"=dword:00000010
"DumpType"=dword:00000001
"CustomDumpFlags"=dword:00000000
Then, open Word to repro the issue. If crash issue appeared, please find the crash dump file under c:\.
To further help you, please upload this file into OneDrive and shared the link here.
Also, you can try to analyze dump by yourself if you would like to:

SkyDrive PRO Error & Updates (upload center)
First of all, i'm confused about Upload Center vs SkyDrive PRO. Are they the same? Does the other one need the other to exist?
So I've been getting a lot of errors just trying to figure out this software: SkyDrive PRO or Upload Center.
The error is this:
"Upload Failed"
"Server File Updated"
Thats it.
*cant attach links/images* how do i verify my account
1)So what is the problem above? I have no clue. Upload failed? But the server Updated? What?
I read some other posts that I need to update or install some hotfix. ex: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760358
2) Is there a consolidated version of SkyDrive PRO which has all the updates+fixes? So that we won't have to install each one in each of our enterprise's computer. OR if there is an update button in the client itself to update everything!Hi Krista,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot keep sign in Office 365 and the error occurred when syncing files using SkyDrive Pro.
#1 To keep sign in Office 365, I recommend to go to add the following entries to the trusted sites in Internet Explorer:
https://*.microsoftonline.com;
https://*.outlook.com; https://*.sharepoint.com.
Please refer to the link below for more details:

Installing Office 2013 on several PCs in a small company
Rather than create individual Live IDs for each of the 7 PCs in a small company, in order to install Office 2013, can we install 7 copies of Office 2013 using a single Live ID? (each copy of Office 2013 is licenced individually, not bought through
VLSC).
Or, is there a better way to install several copies of Office 2013 in an organisation (that does not want to buy Volume Licencing, they just want to buy individual copies)?Are you talking about the local install version Office 2013, or Office 365 (2013)?
Office 365 is "easier" if you are dealing with volume licenses. Office 365 "installs" very quickly, in a matter of minutes. So if you are talking about buying individual 365 business licensees, just document a short procedure telling users how to install
Office 365 (sorry, that may not work if they don't have admin rights on the PC).
If you bought Office 365 volume license, here is a procedure I pieced together:
How does a company install and control licenses - Business
Using Click to Run virtualization, the process of getting new users running has substantially changed. Because CTR installations are so fast, you no longer have to pre-install the software for users.
A business IT Admin controls use of corporate Office 365 licenses through the Office 365 Administration Center online.
Overview:
- In the Office 365 Administration Center the designated Office Administrator sets up the new USER ID
- Setup the associated email account(s)
- Setup Office licenses allowed to the userid
- the new User logs in to their new computer
- in Internet Explorer the user goes to the “Office 365 Portal” site to get their allowed Office 365 installation
- using the Click to Run installation process, Office 365 is installed and running on a new computer is a matter of minutes.
The following links will provide you with more detailed information of where to look and what to do. You may require some additional support from an “expert” .

Jeremy: So we showed the installation experience for a domain-joined computer where single sign on is enabled and one that is not domain-joined, but installs via the Office 365 portal. In the direct from portal case when you kick off the
installation, you will see a file that looks something like this:
Setup.X86.en-us_O365ProPlusRetail_24*****-45a2-4eeb-b06f-b14****189c8_TX_PR_.exe
In a future episode we'll talk about all of the configurations needed to suppress completely sign-in, first run experiences and user prompts. IT admins have had to deal with these in past releases of Office, but now there are ways to
automatically sign users in to Office 365 installs picking up their domain credentials. I also showed the effects of deleting the user account from the Azure AD store and how it put Yoni's Office into Reduced Functionality Mode (RFM) -
even if Yoni installs Office on his personal devices using his organization's Office software assets, once Yoni leaves the org the IT department can deprovision his personal installs. That keeps software asset management cleaner and IT is in control.
Yoni: Don't forget we also had Mark Russinovich on the show and he explained the security model for online services with Azure AD - in your car. It sounds like they are taking the defense in depth approach to harden the service. And you
made him slum it in your car, Jeremy.

This page also has a link to the same poster online (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38193 has PDF and Visio versions of the chart). As well, it goes into
more detail with information like the following:
… Because Office is a tool that is used by the same individual in two different roles, the new Office offers two identities with which users can log on to Office 2013:
A Microsoft account, which most people use for personal business
An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft, which most people use when doing work for an organization, such as a business, charity, or school.
The credentials that are used to sign in are recognized as either personal or organizational. That sign-in identity becomes the user's “home realm” and determines which documents the user has access to on SharePoint, SkyDrive, or Office 365 Services for
a specific session. Each unique sign in identity is saved in a most-recently used list so that it is easy to switch between identities without leaving the Office experience.
a personal SkyDrive can be mounted to an organization identity so that personal documents can be accessed at work or school without ever switching identities. Also, when a user authenticates by using an identity, this authentication is valid for all Office
applications, not just the application he or she signed in to.
Two logon types are supported when users sign in to Office 2013, a Microsoft account or an organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft.
Microsoft account (the user’s individual account). This account, formerly known as Windows Live ID, is the credential that users use to authenticate with the Microsoft network and is frequently used for personal or non-business work, such
as volunteer work. To create a Microsoft account, a user provides a user name and password, certain demographic information, and “account proofs,” such as an alternative email address or phone number. For more information about the new Microsoft account, see
What is a Microsoft account?.
An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft / Office 365 account ID that is assigned by Microsoft. This account is created for business use. An Office 365 account can be one of three types: a pure Office 365 ID, an Active Directory
ID, or an Active Directory Federation Services ID. These are described below:
Office 365 ID. This ID is created when an admin sets up an Office 365 domain and takes the form <user>@<org>.onmicrosoft.com, for example:
[email protected]
Organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft that is validated against a user's Active Directory ID. An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft and validated against Active Directory as follows:
First, a person who has an [on-premise domain]\<user> account attempts to access organization resources.
Next, the resource requests authentication from the user.
Then, the user types in their organization user name and password.
Finally, that user name and password are validated against the organization AD database, the user is authenticated, and is given access to the requested resource.
An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft that is validated against a user’s Active Directory Federation Services ID. An organization ID that is assigned by Microsoft and validated against Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)
as follows:
First, one person who has an org.onmicrosoft.com attempts to access
partner organization resources.
Then, the resource requests authentication from the user.
Next, the user types in their organization user name and password.
Then, that user name and password are validated against the organization AD database.
Finally, that same user name and password are passed to the partner’s federated AD database, the user is authenticated, and is given access to the requested resource.
For on-premises resources, Office 2013 uses the domain\alias user name for authentication. For federated resources, Office 2013 uses the [email protected] user name for authentication.

User Account Management
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819300.aspx
Sign-in for Small Business subscriptions
Users receive Windows Azure Active Directory cloud credentials—separate from other desktop or corporate credentials—for signing into Office 365 and other Microsoft cloud services.
Sign-in options for Enterprise, Midsize Business, Kiosk, Academic, and Government subscriptions
Office 365 for Enterprise, Midsize Business, Kiosk, Academic, and Government subscriptions has two systems that can be used for user identities:
Organizational account (cloud identity) Users receive Windows Azure Active Directory cloud credentials—separate from other desktop or corporate credentials—for signing into Office 365 and other Microsoft cloud
services. This is the default identity, and is recommended for small and midsize businesses in order to minimize deployment complexity. Passwords for organizational accounts use the Windows Azure Active Directory
password policy.
Federated account (federated identity) For all subscriptions other than Office 365 Small Business and Office 365 Small Business Premium, in organizations with on-premises Active Directory that use single sign-on
(SSO), users can sign into Office 365 services by using their Active Directory credentials. The corporate Active Directory stores and controls the password policy. For information about SSO, see
Single sign-on roadmap.
The type of identity affects the user experience and user account management options, as well as hardware and software requirements and other deployment considerations.
Custom domains and identity options
When you create a new user, the user’s sign-in name and email address are assigned to the default domain as set in the Office 365 admin center. By default, the Office 365 subscription uses the <company name>.onmicrosoft.com
domain that was created with the Office 365 account. You can add one or more custom domains to Office 365 rather than retaining the
onmicrosoft.com domain, and can assign users to sign in with any of the validated domains. Each user’s assigned domain is the email address that will appear on sent and received email messages.
You can host up to 600 registered Internet domains in Office 365, each represented by a different namespace.
For organizations using single sign-on, all users on a domain must use the same identity system: either cloud identity or federated identity. For example, you could have one group of users that only needs a cloud identity because they don’t access on-premises
systems, and another group of users who use Office 365 and on-premises systems. You would use add two domains to Office 365, such as
contractors.contoso.com and
staff.contoso.com, and only set up SSO for one of them. An entire domain can be converted from cloud identity to federated identity, or from federated identity to cloud identity.
For more information about domains in Office 365, see the
Domains service description.
Creating user accounts
Office 365 provides five ways to create user accounts, some of which are not available for Office 365 Small Business and Office 365 Small Business Premium: Add single User, Bulk upload using *.CSV files, Active Directory Synchronization, Azure Active Directory
Module for powershell, Exchange Simple Migration
Password management
The policies and procedures for password management depend on the identity system.
Cloud identity password management:
When using cloud identities, passwords are automatically generated when the account is created.
For cloud identity password strength requirements, see
Change your password.
To increase security, users must change their passwords when they first access Office 365 services. As a result, before users can access Office 365 services, they must sign into the Office 365 portal, where they are prompted to change their passwords.
Admins can set the password expiration policy. For more information for Enterprise and Midsize subscriptions, see
Set a user’s password expiration policy. For Small Business, see
Change how often passwords expire.
License management
A subscription to Office 365 is made up of a number of licenses to a set of services. An administrator assigns a license to each user for each service that user needs access to. For more information about managing licenses, see
Assign or remove a license in Office 365 Enterprise, or
Assign or remove a license in Office 365 Small Business.

Office 2013 (Mainly Outlook) Ribbon Menu Display Error
So i have created a MDT System Image for deploying Windows across our Business we are currently using Windows 8.1 32/64Bit Office 2013 SP1 now i have recently updated the image simply to install the latest load of Windows Updates so we are not installing
a load of updates when imaging a machine. a lot of our users are reporting issues in Office mainly Outlook but Word has the issue also, the Ribbon bar has Pixelated Display issues and one would have to close he application and re-open to resolve.
Now i have uploaded two screenshots to my box account and shared the images below as you can see from the screenshots it looks to be a display issue but it is only the Office Applications that fall victim, once you change to something else it dissapears
but this is happening a few times a day now. i have blanked out with black boxes the secure information from our relevant party's they are separate to the issue.
https://app.box.com/s/fd1e8vw5gr7hbtxo42pb
https://app.box.com/s/cyfsuad7uuml5uaq75azHi,
I would suggest you start Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If there is no such problem in safe mode, disable suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this problem.
Since you have mentioned that you also meet this problem in Word, I doubt if it's related to a setting in Office:
In any Office application, such as Outlook, go to File -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Find "Disable hardware graphics acceleration", have you checked this box? If no, check it and click "OK" to save the setting.
This option is added since Office 2013, and it's global, once it's set in an Office application, it applies to others as well.
More information about hardware acceleration can be found in this article below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cc26ac52-5c94-468e-ac34-35c9dcc5b422/hardware-graphics-acceleration?forum=outlook
We can also consider this:
On the Desktop, right click on This PC(or Computer) icon, select
Properties, then Advanced system settings on the left side, under
Advanced tab, click on the Settings button for
Performance.
Now we see this:
Uncheck the box for Animate controls and elements inside windows, click
OK button.
I hope the information can be helpful.
Thanks,
Melon Chen
