I recently got back into Windows 7 and enabled Classic Theme (because why not?) and noticed that there is terribel tearing when I have it enabled, whether it be if I am gaming, watching videos, scrolling through webpages or even dragging around Windows. I know this baord is primarily for Win 8/10 but I am wondering if anyone knows a solution to this issue? Thank you very much.
Build info:
i3-9100f
RTX 2060
16 gb ram
500 gb SSD
(I can list more if needed)

Can you try Basic Theme? If it also has screen tearing there, it's DWM being disabled. Try ClassicTheme.exe if that's the case.

So to clarify, before I reboot my PC I need to make sure that I switch back to aero and then boot in switch to classic? |

A year later and I have good news! I bought an RTX 3070 a few months back and for some magic reason there is no longer any screen tearing with classic theme on. I can now play games and watch videos as I would with aero and DWM enabled. I guess it was a driver update? Or some magic with the 30 series? Don't know.....
