Quickly close the Modern UI app

Do you know how to close the Modern UI (formerly Metro) app in Windows 8? Do you say the close button? The idea is good, but the premise is that you have to find the close button of the Modern UI app, and in fact they don't have a close button at all. I believe many people have encountered this confusion when using Windows 8, but they don't know how to close them in the face of Modern UI applications. Some people may be shut down through the Task Manager, and others may find that they can be closed with Win8's new application switcher. In fact, the Modern UI application has a standard shutdown mode - move the mouse to the top of the screen. After the pointer becomes a hand shape, hold down the left button and drag it down to the bottom of the screen. The screen will look like this ( Notice the bottom of the screen. At this time, release the left mouse button and the current application is closed. The touch screen is similar, with your finger pointing at the top of the screen and dragging it down and then releasing it.

WinB application standard shutdown method

Although there is a standard operation mode, this method is inconvenient for both normal screen and touch screen. The reason is that the distance needs to be moved. It’s too long. In view of this, the WinAero website has created a mini-tool that can save a lot of moving distance and can be used to close Win8 applications with a little bit of movement.

This tool allows the user to set the distance required to close the application. Win8 defaults to a maximum of 1000, which can be reduced to 100. After setting, click Save settings to save, the file manager will automatically restart for the settings to take effect. To restore the original settings, click Reset to defaults. In addition, this tool allows us to disable the way the drag is turned off to avoid misuse when using an application (such as some games
).

Reducing the distance required to close the application

After trying a few times, Xiaobian thinks that around 300 is a suitable value because its screen resolution is not It is large (1440*900). On the other hand, too small a value is easy to misjudge when moving left and right. When set to 300, there is very little distance to actually close the application, and only about one-sixth of the distance can be used to close the Modern UI application (refer to the figure below).

The actual moving distance after modification

A small tool can save us a lot of trouble, Xiaobian thinks it is worthy of use by every Windows 8 user.
