Composition, specifically the DWM, which renders every window as a 3D polygon cannot be disabled starting with Windows 8. And that is completely not true for two reasons: First, with Windows 8 hardware-accelerated graphics are used system-wide. When Microsoft shipped Windows 8 back in 2012 they have repeatedly said they have removed Aero Glass because of performance/battery life issues.
