No, you can't. In the Vista era, Desktop Window Manager was controlled by a service that you could turn off and then disable all visual effects. Starting with Windows 7, the Desktop Window Manager became a more integral part of Windows, which is critical to creating graphical user interfaces. This integration is further deepened with Windows 8 and Windows 10. The good news is that Desktop Window Manager is getting better at managing resources, and you shouldn't really need to turn it off.

Fix 1: Restart the Mac

Your computer was restarted because of a problem, maybe just some temporary problems on your Mac. Just as one of the error messages says you need to restart your computer, you can restart your computer to see if the problem disappears.

You can press the power button for a few seconds until it turns off completely. Then, you can press the power button to restart your Mac.

Fix 2: Check the software

• Update all installed software.
• If your Mac suspects that the restart was caused by an app, you may be asked if you want to move the app to the Trash. Click "move to the Trash" and contact the software developer to confirm if there are any software updates available.
• Use safe mode to try to find out the cause of the problem.
