- Click Advanced tab.
- Click Settings (under Performance).
- Make sure the following 3 are checked (under Visual Effects), and that custom is chosen:

Advanced Steps 2:
If all fails, or if you still cannot enable Desktop composition, try this:

Finally, restart your PC then see if you can now enable Desktop composition and/or your transparency issue is resolved.
