Desktop Window Manager (DWM, previously Desktop Compositing Engine or DCE) is the desktop graphical user interface system in Windows Vista and Windows 7 that enables the Windows Aero graphical user interface and visual theme. The Desktop Window Manager requires video cards supporting DirectX 9.0 and Shader Model 2.0. DWM is not included with Windows Vista Starter edition. It is included with Windows Vista Home Basic edition, but with some aspects of the Windows Aero interface (such as transparent Glass and Flip 3D) disabled. It is also included with Windows Server 2008, but requires the "Desktop Experience" feature and compatible graphics drivers to be installed.

Desktop Window Manager (known as DWM) is the successor to the Desktop Composition Engine, used starting from Windows Longhorn build 4066. It was used to render visual effects such as Aero transparency in Windows Vista and 7. Despite the visual effects being removed in 8, it still works to render Windows.
