Mission Control slow and closing without user intervention

← Troubleshooting: Mac OS X

Symptom


Mission Control is slow and the application is closing without user intervention.

Problem


This is probably caused by Mission Control attempting to use hardware accelerated rendering in a way not supported by the OS X software renderer.

Solution


Disable animated full screen transitions in Mission Control. To do it open Terminal and run the following two commands:
defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0
killall Dock
