jobuk Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Students are not allowed to change the Windows-Design to Aero. So it ist not possible to use Affinity because there is no way to bypass the aero-Design. Is there any possibility to ignore the aero-Design on Windows 7?

myclay Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) yes there is a way, to override the error message, you can use --no-dwm-warning on the command line. A command line change can be done by making a shortcut to the Affinity executable and adding the parameter "--no-dwm-warning" to the exe in the shortcut's properties dialog.

Mark Ingram Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Yep, that is quite strange, as it looks like Aero is enabled... Anyway, running with the --no-dwm-warning flag as described by @myclay is completely unsupported. Copy and pasted from my previous post on the subject: Quote When you disable Aero (or Desktop Window Manager Composition, which is what we're really interested in), Windows will fallback to using a legacy driver model, which can lead to rendering and performance problems. This only affects Windows 7, as from Windows 8 onwards, DWM Composition is always enabled. If DWM is enabled, then we should work out why you're getting that error message. If it isn't enabled, it probably should be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
