It isn’t a surprise because we, ourselves, actually disable the option by default on most of our machines. Microsoft has determined that the feature just was popular enough and has removed it from this month’s preview release of the operating system, which will likely roll out to the public sometime early next year. Which then had to one by one restore all of their windows back to where they were (assuming they didn’t know that they could reverse the action if they shook the same window soon after the initial act). If they did, they likely did it by accident. Problem is, most people never really made use of the feature. At least, it sounds like an interesting idea in theory. It’s a great feature if you keep a busy environment and just need to push everything away to focus on a single task quickly. You did so by grabbing the title bar (top ribbon) of a window with your mouse and shaking it back and forth causing everything else to drop down into the taskbar. It gave a user the ability to minimize everything on their desktop, keeping a single window of their choice open. Make sure the name is typed exactly as above, without the quotations but including the capitalization.Shake to Minimize is an option within windows that first landed with Windows 7. Right-click any empty space in the main pane and choose “New > DWORD (32-bit) Value”. You can find by pasting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced in the Registry Editor address bar. Navigate to the Explorer Advanced regsitry key.With the app selected, choose “Run as administrator”. Press the “Start” button and type “Registry Editor”. Just make you read our safe registry editing guide first. Those on Windows 10 Home won’t have access to the Group Policy Editor, but you can toggle the same switch via the Windows Registry.
