Aero Shake is a convenient feature on Windows 11 that allows users to declutter their desktop by quickly minimizing all open windows except the one they’re actively using. While this feature was enabled by default in previous versions of Windows, it’s now disabled by default in Windows 11. However, you can easily manage this setting through the Windows Settings app. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to enable or disable Aero Shake on Windows 11.
Step-by-Step Guide:

Access Multitasking Settings:
- In the Settings window, click on “System” from the list of options.

Enable or Disable Aero Shake:
