Fix “Animation Error” in Remote Desktop (Enable Windows Animations)

Updated over a week ago

If you experience screen jumping or UI issues (such as when clicking the “Add Fact” button) while using CaseScribe in a remote environment, the issue is often caused by disabled Windows animations on your local machine.

Enabling a specific animation setting typically resolves this behavior.

How to Enable Animations on Your PC

Follow these steps on your local computer:

  1. Open File Explorer and locate This PC

  2. Right-click This PC, then select Properties

  3. Click Advanced system settings (left side)

  4. Under the Performance section, click Settings

  5. In the Visual Effects tab, locate and enable:
    “Animate controls and elements inside windows”

  6. Click Apply, then OK

What This Fix Does

This setting enables basic UI animations in Windows that some applications rely on for proper rendering, especially in remote environments.

When this option is disabled, certain UI interactions may behave incorrectly, including:

  • Page jumping or shifting unexpectedly

  • Buttons causing layout glitches

  • Inconsistent rendering when clicking or interacting with elements

When to Use This Fix

Try this solution if:

  • You are using CaseScribe in a remote desktop or virtual environment

  • The interface jumps or shifts when clicking buttons (like Add Fact)

  • You see visual glitches or animation-related errors

Summary

If you encounter animation or UI issues in a remote environment, enabling “Animate controls and elements inside windows” on your local machine can stabilize the interface and prevent unexpected page movement.
