A large number of animations and special effects consumed the CPU and memory.
I have noticed that a large number of animations and special effects in Windows 10 are heavily consuming my CPU and memory resources, which seems to be a major factor behind my system's lag. Even with only a few applications open, these visual effects consistently push my processor and RAM usage to high levels, making the overall experience feel sluggish and unresponsive during normal use.

This immediately frees up CPU cycles and RAM. Your system will look like Windows 2000, but it will feel much faster.
In the Visual Effects tab, select Adjust for best performance to disable all effects.
Transparency effects (like the blur in the taskbar and Start menu) are handled separately and can also consume GPU resources.
