Closing apps from sidebar, not always working?
- I am having an issue closing applications from the left side-bar. I thought you're supposed to be able to open the left side bar, and touch-drag an application to the bottom of the screen to close it.
Well, it works when I currently in the Desktop, and only intermittently works when I am in a Metro app or in the Start screen.
Is there a certain trick to this? Is anyone else experiencing this?
This is very irritating...
EDIT: I realized that this method of closing apps doesn't work for me at all if I am trying to do it while I am on the Start screen. If I am currently in any other application, this works perfectly.
Is anyone else experiencing this? And is this behavior normal?Last edited by Avazee; 10-31-2012 at 11:30 PM. Reason: Additional info

By the way, Windows 8/RT automatically manages your metro apps so you don't have to close it. When an app is in the background it is suspended and resources freed if required. So closing apps isn't going to make a difference to your tablets performance.11-01-2012 08:01 AMLike 0
