I've searched high and low, and whatever tweaks I've tried, nothing works. I would love context menus to animate like this (this being captured in Windows ME):  In Windows 10, it appears like this:  Boring. Bland. No personality. I hate it. Anyway to get classic style animations to work?  |

The scrolling animation can be restored using UserPreferencesMask Calculator (by setting bit 9 to 0). Unfortunately, it looks like modern processors make the animation go by so quickly, that it's almost unnoticeable at times. Maybe messing with the context menu delay settings could make a difference, but I haven't really messed with that myself, so I couldn't tell you for sure if that works or not.
Edit: I decided to try changing the MenuShowDelay setting, and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. I have noticed that most context menus have a more noticable scrolling animation the first time they're opened though, so maybe it's not completely related to the processor?

I tried that, but didn't notice any change. UNTIL I was messing around at login and kept spamming right-click on the desktop and noticed for like ten seconds, the menus do slide. Then they go back to like the gif above  I captured it doing it here: |

Huh, I wonder what could be causing that?

I think you were right the first time: modern hardware is just too fast for the animations.
I wonder if there was a way to slow them down via software? I've looked for something that could do it, but all I could find is rikka0w0's ExplorerContextMenuTweaker, but that is obviously aimed at bringing back the old context menus. Classic Shell/Start also allows you to adjust the speed of it's animations, but that's just for the start menu.

I was playing around on Internet Explorer 4.0 on 8.1 and I discovered this:  All of them are the boring fade out Except favorites.  I don't know what's making it do that but I would like to share it. |

I found out that Ripcord does the animations after changing the flag in UMPCalc  |

Then they go back to like the gif above  I captured it doing it here: I noticed it stopped doing the slide animation in the embedded video specifically after Volume2 started. For whatever reason, it appears as though Volume2 somehow breaks the menu animation delay? It seems to play more consistently if Volume2's closed. If anyone else could check if this is the case and isn't just me, that would be appreciated. |

I think it's more likely programs being loadied into memory at startup all at once and by the time Volume2 loaded, the strain had nearly gone. It doesn't do what happens in the video that much anymore, but I can still catch it happening on a rare chance. |
