And why can't we close the Metro apps? That little X in the upper-right corner was too difficult to code? Granted, I know that the apps suspend automatically when they don't have focus, and the OS will kill them if it needs the RAM they're using, but it tends to get on my OCD nerves that I can't just close it when I'm done with it. I know you are supposed to be able to hover your mouse near the top border, and when the hand icon is displayed, you can drag the window, and supposedly you can drag it off to the side and it will close. However, I've never been successful at this. :blush: It just keeps bouncing back as soon as I let it go. So I end-task it.

Strange why it does not close, I can easily do it:

Strange why it does not close, I can easily do it:

Are you doing anything else after you drag it down there? I can drag it and hold it, but it doesn't close. And as soon as I release the mouse button, it pops back up.

 

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

No, I don't do anything. What is the screen resolution on your PC?

 

[HeffeD]

I run my VM's windowed at 1024x768 so I can still easily work on my host.

Edit: Ah, if I drag it down there and hurriedly left-click before it pops back up, it will actually close.

Soooo much easier than clicking on an X!

 

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

Glad it worked.
But which X are you talking about? I can't see any.

 

[HeffeD]

There isn't an X. That's what I was saying. Why isn't there an X in the upper corner to close an app, instead of the drag it offscreen gimmick?

 

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

I think that an X would be annoying if you were using a Tablet.

 

[HeffeD]

Yes, and it's annoying when it is missing on a desktop.

 

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

Wait and you will get used to it.

ALT+F4 still works, if you prefer using the keyboard.

Good to know. Thanks.
