Skylake, Windows 7, Windows Aero, WEI

[Genesius]

Intel 4560 in a H110 Asrock mobo.
Installed windows 7 but the windows experience score is showing 1 because the graphics aren't scoring.
How can i get it to score higher so that Aero will work, or how can i force Aero to work without a WEI score.
Every time i run WEI it says there is an error with the kernal logger and that its in use with something else.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Why are you trying to run WEI? It's a pointless feature of the OS and holds no ground anymore.

Force Enable Aero in Windows 7
1. Click on Start and type regedit at run

2. Now Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

3. In the right details pane, create following Three DWORD (32-bit value) entry
UseMachineCheck, and set its value to 0.
Blur, and set its value to 0.
Animations, and set its value to 0.

4. Close Regedit

5. Click on Start and type CMD with administrative Priviliges

6. Now type following command
Net Stop uxsms
Net Start uxsms
Above command will stop and start Desktop Window Manager Session Manager.

7. Now you can turn on Aero by right clicking on desktop-> Personalize -> Select Windows Colors

Because as I understand it, a score lower than 2 doesn't allow aero to work.
I have edited the xml so trick so that my WEI reads as 7. But aero is still not working. I will try altering the registry as suggested above, but I have already given that exact sequence a go.

Just tried it again and still no aero. Any other ideas?

current drivers are from 2006. think this is the issue, however new drivers for the G4560 only work on windows 10. so i think im a bit stuck. might have to put windows 10 on because otherwise ill have no 3d graphics.
