However, rounded corners might not be for everyone. Despite the fact that Microsoft has been kind enough to let users customize several aspects of Windows 11, users are not able to disable rounded corners in Windows 11 itself at the time of writing this article. Fortunately, there are still a few methods that can help you get the sharp corners back and in this guide, we will walk you through them in detail. Let’s get started!
Download a Program
Executable files (exe files) contain a sequence of instructions that a program executes when you click on the file icon. In this method, we will show you how you can disable rounded corners in Windows 11 by downloading a .exe file.
Turn Off Hardware Graphics Acceleration
Application acceleration is the process of offloading computing tasks to special components in order to enhance performance. As a result, the system is more efficient than when a general-purpose CPU is used. You can disable the rounded corners by turning off the hardware graphics acceleration. However, you must keep in mind that this method will also disable certain other visual features like transparency.
Disable Graphics Hardware
Windows 11’s rounded corners can also be disabled by disabling the graphics hardware. However, disabling your graphics card will sluggish down the Windows user interface, and you will not be able to run 3D apps or games until you re-enable it.
