Disable blur effect - not transparency

MattTheMedic said:

Is there a way in Windows 10 to disable the blur effect but keep the transparency. (I know there was one in the early builds of Windows 10 when Microsoft was testing the blur effect. )

I have been trying the registry hack for this and it works until restart. I prefer the transparency without the blur. Here's a screen of the start without blur. Anyone had any luck getting the no blur effect to stick? Even with restart?

I've been looking all over the Internet for a way to do this, but haven't found anything yet

I wish Microsoft would give us this setting with Redstone out of the box.

Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize" and look for the DWORD value "EnableTransparency"...if it is not there then create a DWORD entry with that title and set its value to (0). It will take effect immediately but will reset itself on reboot. I just created a favorites link for it and set it on each reboot until a permanent fix comes out.

Why don't you just create a .reg file and pin it to your desktop or start menu?

Here you go:
EnableTransparency.reg <-- click to download, then right click, choose unblock, pin or place it where ever you wish, then double click to apply(you will need to give permission).

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
"EnableTransparency"=dword:00000000

It's the setting from the above post. I don't use it as I like my blur, but just edit the last "0" to a "1" and it should put you back where you were(or do it manually).
