Can't wait to close applications when multitasking bar on the start screen?

When within an application, I can easily drag another app in the multitasking left bar on the lower edge of the screen to close. However, I can't do the same when on the start screen. Any attempt to drag an application to the bottom gets just the application itself.

Hello

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

By design if you drag an app in multitasking on screen bar start it will open this App. You can't close an application by dragging it to the bottom of the screen on the start screen.

You can close an application by dragging in the bar of multitasking for the bottom of the screen, desktop and other applications.

  • Often my e-mail application stops and returns to the start screen.

    Hello again,

    The answer to fix my inability to eliminate the old emails worked.  I've deleted and reinstalled my Hotmail account (the one with the two old emails, I couldn't delete) and the problem was solved.  Now I have another that is more frequent than before.  I can be in my two email accounts (for the most part occurs in my second Yahoo account).  I could be in the middle of a long email or even just start and my computer automatically shut down the email, then go to the main start screen.  When I enter the e-mail icon, I am automatically taken to my "Hotmail" account each time.  It's so boring that I now have access to my accounts of messaging through Web applications.  In the beginning, sometimes this would save a draft of the email, but now it doesn't.  Not sure if I changed something that could have caused this because I had nothing else questions e-mail with 8 of the window.  Not a big fan of him and prefer Windows 7.  Thanks for any help to solve this very annoying problem.

    had the same problem with my Windows 8, which has developed after choosing the prospects of the original Hotmail/Windows Live installation. On the Windows Welcome screen, I uninstalled the original mail app by clicking the tile and choose uninstall. I then reinstalled the app from the store Windows. The messaging application now opens successfully.

    I installed Window 8 the day of that release.

    I want to be able to play (keep running) a video from Youtube (not do stop playing) if I go to the start screen. This can also apply to other applications.

    I know already snap and run both applications at once on the screen (why only 2?)

    Thank you for using Windows 8. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.
     

    Some applications that are installed on your PC could not be pinned at the beginning. But you can still pin them if you want it. On the start screen, open the charm of the search, select the application you want to pin to open his orders and then press or click on PIN to start.
    To learn more about customizing the startup screen, refer to the article.

  • How can I PIN Hotmail at the START screen in Windows 8?

    I try to put as much USEFUL information on the screen of BOOT of Windows 8.  It is the screen that is displayed first after logging in Windows 8.  right now I have to go to the OFFICE to get to an email which is an extra step.  Any help is appreciated here.

    You say you want actually slab on your Start that will lead you to your Hotmail page in Internet Explorer? If Yes:

    To add a tile at the beginning who opens the Office of IE10 for Hotmail

    1. open IE10 Desktop then go to your Hotmail Inbox.

    2. click on Tools "cog" (top-right), and then select Add a Site to the start screen.

    To add a tile at the beginning that opens modern IE10 (aka metro) to Hotmail

    1. open modern IE10 then go to your Hotmail Inbox.

    2 right-click anywhere, and then click the PIN site icon (it looks like a bug - row at the bottom of the icons, 3rd from the right) and select Pin to Start.

    The foregoing will not be live tiles.

    The Microsoft Mail application can be used for Hotmail accounts and will have a live tile showing when the new mail arrived. Its features are far too limited for my taste.

    Windows Live Mail is a free alternative that can be used with Hotmail. When pinned at the beginning, it will not be a live tile showing the incoming mail, however. Please see:

  • How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer?

    How can I access my space girls 14 years old, on the main screen on the computer? So I can see what she gets up to the computer because I have no way of knowing.  She went totally bananas when I put parental controls on its site.  It has a password.  I am the administrator of computers.  Thank you

    I assume you have no access to the password for the user of your daughter.  As an administrator, you may open the control panel in Win XP and select user accounts.  The options will allow you to change or remove the password of your daughter.  Then you could sign on behalf of your daughter.
    However, who would probably trigger another outbreak of 'bananas', because your daughter will realize that you have changed or deleted her password.  This forum is not how parents react to problems of girl.  However, she is only 14, is YOUR computer and you have good reason to worry about his online activities.

  • When I search on the start menu, I see emails that I deleted.

    Original title:

    Start menu

    When I search on the start menu, I see emails that I deleted.

    I want that these emails deleted permanently and is not presented on the search menu. How can I do this?

    The search system is performing one analysis every few hours to check what's new.  Looks like you deleted emails but the scan has not yet executed.

    If you find that the scan never works at all, you can rebuild the search system by opening the Indexing Options (search to find it) and click on rebuild indexes.

  • How can I get default Windows desktop at startup instead of the splash screen

    When I start my computer in Windows 8, how to go automatically to the desktop instead of the start screen?  I prefer much the office.

    Other than that, I bought the upgrade and installed the 64 bit version and everything works well and exceeded my expectations.  I upgraded from Windows XP (32 bit).  I actually did a new installation on a new hard drive. It's the only thing that I find annoying, so far, that and the START button is no longer on the desktop.  I find it annoying as well.  I really like how fast IE10.  I don't seem to have any issues that other people have, no doubt due to the new installation on a new hard drive.

    By design, the Start button is gone in Windows 8. Watch Classic Shell (FREE) or debut8 (free trial for 30 days then $5) as workaround to this problem. Both can be configured to display the office compared to the splash screen...

    Classic interface
