How to Enable Aero Shake in Windows 11 (Title Bar Window Shake)

Transcription

So in previous versions of Windows, there used to be a feature called Aero Shake. The way Aero Shake worked is you would left-click a particular window in the title bar here, left-click and hold and you could shake the mouse, and that would make the windows behind it actually disappear. So the windows behind here would actually disappear.

Now, in Windows 11, it seems like they disabled this by default. Here’s how you can bring it back. You simply press the start button, you type Settings, press ENTER, and then when this window pops up you click “System”, and then you go down to where it says “Multitasking” and you click that. And then here where it says “Title bar window shake”, you’re going to want to turn that on.

And now let’s test it out, right, because we have the Settings up. I’m going to left-click and hold this window and I’m going to shake the mouse, and everything disappears. And then you can shake again to bring it back. Isn’t that kind of cool? I always thought so, but I guess it wasn’t used enough so they maybe just disabled it by default. But you can bring it back!
