If you are using Windows Vista or Win7 operating systems, when you open the task manager, you will find that the dwm.exe process is running, and sometimes you will find that it takes up more memory resources. But you know what? Dwm.exe is a very useful process, it can achieve some cool desktop effects. Below, the author will tell you what process dwm.exe is with pictures and texts; there are mainly those functions and whether it will affect the normal operation of the system after banning it. I hope it can be helpful to you.

Origin and function dwm.exe is a system process defined by Microsoft Microsoft ®for its Windows 7/Vista operating system. Dwm is an acronym for Desktop Window Manage, described in the system as: desktop window manager, dwm.exe will automatically start with the system and run all the time by default, and there is no such process in previous systems such as XP. The function of this process can make the various windows displayed on the operating system more beautiful and improve the user experience (called Windows Aero). Windows Aero effects include 3D effects, window transparency, and real-time preview:

Windows Flip 3D: provides a 3D quick preview of all open windows as shown in the following illustration without clicking the taskbar:

Tip: Flip 3D is one of the features of Windows Aero and does not require the installation of other software.

How to turn on Flip 3D effects: press the Ctrl+Windows logo key

+ Tab shortcut key (Windows 7/Vista)

Glass and shadow effect: that is, to achieve a variety of interface window edge translucency and edge shadow. As shown in the following figure:

Provide real-time window preview: a small window that displays it will be realized on the currently open window under the mouse placement taskbar

From the above picture, we can see that the display effect achieved by dwm.exe is quite good, but in order to support this Aero desktop effect, your computer's Windows experience Index basic score must be more than 3.0 to better run Aero. If the score is too low, there will not be enough functions to run the Aero desktop effect achieved by dwm.exe.

How to close the dwm.exe process: it is normal for this process to have a high memory footprint as the number of open windows increases. However, for those computers that do not perform very well, this may make the computer a bit stuck (such as 1GB of memory), and you can turn off these functions of dwm.exe or reduce the screen resolution, which may improve the fluency of the system (but also lose those window effects). How to disable the Windows Aero effect:

① opens "run" (shortcut key Win+R), and then enter services.msc to open the Service (Local) window.

② finds Desktop Window Manager Session Manager and selects "stop this service".

Tip: the screen will blink and blacken after stopping this service, which is a normal phenomenon. And the dwm.exe can also be terminated through the task manager. If it is automatically started after one termination, it will be terminated again. Generally, if it is terminated twice, it will not start automatically. However, if you want to keep dwm.exe from booting with the system, you still have to use the method shown in the figure above.
