There is no "fix" other then to disable Windows AERO before running Maya. Aero is the transparent look of windows in windows 7 and above.

Unless you are using active stereo it's really a non-issue. There is a command line way to turn aero on and off and for a while I was using a powershell script to stop and start aero when opening and closing maya but stopped using it lately.

Here is a batch script that will toggle aero on and off.

Code:

@echo off
sc interrogate uxsms | find "1062"
if %errorlevel%==0 goto :sc_start
sc stop uxsms
exit
 
:sc_start
sc start uxsms
exit

Hmmm I am running windows 7 pro. This should work for win 7, I'm not sure about win 8.

Also, you have to run this with adminitrator rights as it stops and starts services. To debug it open an administrative cmd window and try the sc commands manually.

Just adding this is not a maya script but a batch script that you run off you desktop.

Now, go to file>save as, and in the “Save As” window, input a name for your BAT file and then add a “.bat” on the end (without the quotes). My file was named testBAT.bat, for instance.

Before hitting save we need make sure that Windows doesn’t stick the standard “.txt” ending on the end of our new file. To do this, change the filetype from “.txt” to “all files” as shown in the screenshot below. That’s it – hit save and close the file.

right click the new file and run as administrator
