Closure of the Apps in the Windows start screen

Looks like it should be simple enough, but I didn't understand how to close a windows splash screen application. I hit the windows button on my keyboard, go in the office, Ctrl-alt-del and end task. There must be an easier way.

Hi Candace,

You can also read the following steps to close an application.

Step 1: Press the keys Alt + F4 (F4 function key) on your keyboard.

Step 2: To completely stop all processes related to an application, drag the application to the bottom of the screen and hold until the app turns.

See the following for more information Microsoft article.

It will be useful.

  • How to what a notification outlook 2013 on the windows lock screen 8

    I have Outlook Office 2013 2013 in 64-bit and Windows 8 Pro version.  In the Windows 8 lock screen, you can get notification for Windows Mail, Skype, calendar and some other app.

    Since I use my email in Outlook 2013, so I want to have Outlook 2013 email notifications in the Windows 8 lock screen, so I know when there is new incoming e-mail.

    How do I do that?  When I go to the windows start screen 8, then right swip, parameters-> change PC Settings-> customize, I tried to add the 2013, but he's not here.

    Please notify.

    Thank you.

    Windows 8 is a finished product, and Outlook 2013 was a finished product even before that. So I think it's a very safe assumption that it will not change in Windows 8 or office 2013.

    But remember, Windows 8 is and has always been the automatic built-in ability to display the unread emails for Outlook/Exchange/IMAP accounts on the lock screen.  All you have to do is to add your e-mail account in the mail application so it can do.  You never need to open, use or see the messaging application. Just set once and relax with the lock screen feature you want.

  • Can't get my GMail password! Settings > mail > Gmail: press the "re - enter Password' and the window starts to load, but then disappears.

    In my settings > Mail, Contacts, calendar, Notes under accounts is my GMail account which works perfectly well on my iPhone 6 until what I changed my GMail password. Of course, the next time I go to check my GMail emails on my phone (NOTE: I do not use a separate Gmail application) it tells me to update my password in settings.

    When I try to do it, by pressing the blue text "Reset Password", the Gmail window starts to open and then immediately disappears!

    I've been scouring the internet everyday looking for a solution. I tried the phone off (properly) and then restarting him. That did not help. I tried settings > Mail, Contacts, calendar, notes 'Add an account' but when I press 'Google' I have the same thing - the window starts loading, then it disappears.

    Just out of curiosity, I typed as others (iCloud, Exchange, Yahoo, AOL and Outlook) on the list and they all open a screen except for Google and Yahoo, which also starts loading but then disappears immediately. I wonder why it happens that Google and Yahoo? (I don't have a Yahoo email account configured on this phone. Only Gmail and Exchange (for work, that works perfectly, no problems with this one)

    So, when I tried failed to load Google connection/settings window, click on 'Other' on this list, thinking maybe I'll manually add my GMail account again (as a IMAP), but the iPhone doesn't let me do that without also configuring servers of incoming/outgoing mail as if it were a POP configuration? I gave up that idea.

    What I really want, it's simply Reset my password on my phone to my Gmail account in the settings. Does anyone else have this problem? Y at - it a bug known in this regard? Is there a work around for this? I'm doing something wrong? I have to take this phone to an Apple store and get help here?

    SOLVED! I thought about it. As usual, at the point where I have ask for help is when I tell me how to solve. It's simple, really. I was at work, so I guess that the security settings on the wifi of the company prevented me to access these panels (for some odd reason)? I simply turned off the wifi in the settings, and everything works perfectly.

    I hope that if all the world is facing the same question that helps.

  • The screen us black until I get to the Windows Welcome screen, where should I start to troubleshoot?

    When I turn on my computer, the screen remains black, until it gets to the windows welcome screen 7, then the computer and video works fine.

    I don't see the start of the video card or the blue HP screen information at the beginning upward.

    Problem is solved.   When I checked the computer with a new video card, I noticed that an HDMI cable was used to connect to my screen.   This allows information to move to the screen until windows load the correct driver for my video card, resulting in a blank screen.

  • Shortcuts in the Windows Start menu?

    Is it possible to create a shortcut in the Windows Start menu for a program that is installed on a Windows XP VM as of Windows 7 XP mode can do? I would like to be able to choose a program and have the virtual machine starts automatically.

    We added this feature in version 7.1 (currently in beta).  When you are in the unit, move the mouse over the Start button to bring up the start menu in the client. You can drag any shortcut for the program on this menu and drop it on the desktop or any other folder. On a Windows 7 host, you can also lock a window of the unit.

  • How to customize the windows welcome screen 7?

    Is it possible to change the standard background image that appears when the Welcome screen is displayed after the start? If this standard image of windows 7 may be changed, please provide instructions not to not showing how it can be done.

    Thank you.

    Step 1: Open the Windows Start menu and type regedit in the search bar.

    Step 2: right-click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE , then select Search.

    Step 3: Search for OEMBackground, which should be in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background. If the key does not exist, add a new DWORD value named OEMBackground.

    Step 4: double-click the OEMBackgroundentry and change the value from 0 to 1.

    Step 5: Open Windows Explorer and go to the following path: %windir%\system32\oobe.

    Step 6: Create a new folder named infoand open it. (It may be already created)

    Step 7: Create a new folder in info called backgrounds. (It is usually present.)

    Step 8: Rename your wallpaper desired as backgroundDefault.jpg and place it in the bottom of the folder (images must be less than 245 KB).

    Note: the first four steps are not usually required. At least on my PC, only the last four steps are needed.

  • I get the windows login screen and I do not know the password for administrators

    I accidentally deleted my account and when the computer starts and I get the windows login screen and I do not know the administrators password. Also how can I reinstall windows when I got a disc when I brought my laptop. Thank you, Lorraine

    Thanks for getting back to me. I sold my old laptop to my son-in-law, and he asked me to remove my name from the computer off so that my name wasn't on the screen all the time. so I deleted the profile of cook of lorraine and made one for him, but I didn't give it a password. then I realized what I had to do (I got Lorraine where time is on the bottom of the screen), but was unable to highlight to remove it without a mouse. so I plugged a mouse, but the computer does not read, then I restarted the computer. When I restarted, all I could get was the windows login screen.

    then I typed in the name son-nlaws and they said that he was kidnapped, tyoed in mine and got the same and then typed in Administrator, but did not know the password. I have since reinstalled windows. XP Professional would not install saying a file was missing, so I installed xp family and is working again. He just has to click on what edition it wants to run. Professional XP of course happen just with the display of connection... but it can use again.
    Thank you once again, Lorraine
