Show Instantly taskbar when auto-hide on - windows 7
Follow these steps:
- Go to
My Computer
; - Right click the
My Computer
icon; - Properties;
- System properties;
- Advanced;
- Performance;
- Settings;
- Uncheck/check (as applicable) "Fade or slide menus into view";
- Hit Apply and OK.
Alternatively on Windows 10:
- Search for "View advanced system settings" in the Start or Settings menu.
- Go to step 6 above.
As far as I know, the only way to speed up the process is to completely disable the Aero animations.
To do this:
- Open your start-menu and type in "System" and select the option under the "Control Panel" section.
- Click on "Advanced system settings" in the left-pane.
- Click on the "Advanced" tab.
- Click on "Settings" in the performance sub-section.
- Uncheck "Animations in taskbar and Start Menu" and possibly (not sure if it is necessary) "Animate controls and elements inside windows".
Good luck!
