Be able to disable deskop composition without using fullscreen about powertoys HOT 4 CLOSED

Fullscreen doesn't actually disable desktop composition but instead pauses it, this disabling all GDI elements in order to give the GPU exclusive access to the screen.

I doubt Microsoft will consider this one because ever since Windows 8 DWM has been mandatory for WinRT/UWP GUI elements to be layered correctly. Microsoft would have to rewrite their UWP and/or GDI stack to pull this one off.

I see, thanks for the clarification ! However, I was under the impression that the "syncing" process wasn't a core component of the desktop window manager and more akin to an "effect" that would be applied after all the rendering was done (at least, the current implementation seems to be allowing variable refresh rates as freesync and gsync monitors users currently use that feature).

Thus, the idea would be to expose that feature to the end user along with the option of completely disabling triple buffering with the current implementation of dwm rather than replacing or disabling it completely.

Does that make sense ?

@nalf3in, how are you experiencing latency. would love to put you in contact with the team and better understand that.

Disabling I'm pretty sure won't be possible so i'm going to close this as "won't fix"
