Description:

Disable animations

Use the Enable Animations, Disable Animations, and Is Animation Enabled functions to determine whether Animation Library animations and animations within WinJS controls are performed.

The determination of whether or not the animations will run is based on a combination of:

  1. The internally maintained 'enable count',
  2. Whether the system's 'Turn off all unnecessary animations' accessibility setting is checked,
  3. Whether the app is currently executing from within the Web compartment where the WinRT API to check the accessibility setting is unavailable.

See the MSDN API documentation for more details.

Change whether animations are enabled in the system from Settings\Ease of Access\Other options, then click the Refresh button to see the updated value.
