A relative has a W10 Pro system, Version 10.0.14393. She wants the
"Play animations in Windows" option set to on no matter what. It seems
the default must be configured for Off somewhere. If I set it to On the
animation works, but just until a system reboot, then it goes back to Off.

1) I have tried going into Control Panel|Personalization|Ease of Access
Center|Other Options and turned on the Play animations in Windows option
to On. After a reboot it is back to Off.

2) Tried Control Panel|System||Advanced system settings|Performance
Settings and tried Adjust for best appearance, tried Custom and turned
on all the options. No change, then added step #1 again and no change.
Animation works until the next reboot.

3) Tried changing the following registry setting to a 1 which I am told
is supposed to turn on the windows animations.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowsMetrics\MinAnimate to a 1
then exited the registry and rebooted the PC. The registry setting
stays set to a 1 but the animation is non-functional. A visit to step
#1 finds the "Play animations in Windows" option is once again set to Off.

Anyone else run into this and been able to force W10 to leave the "Play
animations in Windows" option set to On especially after a PC reboot?

Have you looked in Microsoft Edge Settings?
