I searched for a value to disable the transition animation when you go into Metro/Modern UI. I like it clear and don't need the animation. So I logged the boot and gatherd all Informations together but haven't found a matching Value. But instead of dumping all Information maybe this is interessting for some any you may want to experiment. E.g. HB860 Some Values are missing, they would need to create a new log with existing reg-keys. The Result may differ as I tried some values in previous snapshot.

Disable "Animate controls and elements inside windows" and "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing" in system properties / performance settings, that disables the "Metro" animations as well.
