Tool to Re-Enable Aero in Windows 7 When it Crashes

win7aeroWindows 7 is an amazing operating system and the Aero theme is so refreshing to the eyes. Sadly though, once in a while Aero likes to crash, leaving you with solid windows again and no option in Windows to bring it back manually (no obvious way at least). Thank fully this can still be done using cmd.exe.

Attached you can download a zip file that contains a quick .bat file I typed up. Simply extract the .bat file to your desktop and whenever the problem occurs again, right click on it and select “Run as administrator”. The cmd.exe window will pop up and go through a few seconds of switching the Aero theme off and back on again and then it will close itself. That’s it! You’re back to normal in no time at all.

If you don’t trust running “mysterious” bat files on your PC (lol, I don’t either), feel free to open it in notepad to see that it is 100% safe. I am posting the contents of the file here as well:

echo Activating TheSaint’s Aero Fixer
echo.
net stop uxsms
echo Waiting For 5 seconds…
TIMEOUT /T 5 /NOBREAK
echo.
net start uxsms

 

echo.

 

 

Enjoy!
