Here you’ll learn how to disable “Shake to Minimize.” You’ll do this using the Windows registry, and while the process is safe if you follow the instructions, it’s always a good idea to back up your Windows 10 registry first. First, open the Registry Editor by hitting Win + R and entering regedit in the box.

In the registry editor, go to Here, right-click an empty space in the pane on the right, select “New -> DWORD (32-bit),” then call it “DisallowShaking.”

Double-click the newly-created entry, then change the number in the “Value” box to “1” and click OK. No more shakes! Now that you have disabled the “Shake to Minimize” feature, we have a whole bunch more registry tweaks for you. Head over to our hub for Windows 10 registry hacks to take a look.
