Answer 1

Go to the Control Panel, and click on the System icon.
Under the Advanced tab and Performance section, click on the Settings button.
You'll find there an entry called "Show shadows under windows".:

Disable it and they're gone.

None of these worked for me. What did fix it, however, was unticking "Animate controls and Elements Inside Windows" under Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance.
