Win8 application multitasking window switch Operation

Author: Jianghui Tian
I believe we still remember in the Windows 7 system, we adopted the Alt + Tab shortcut key combination when there will be a very cool 3D scrolling mode Desktop, this feature can be used to switch between open applications. When you open multiple programs or multi-level resource managers, you can quickly and easily open the required programs without having to search through the taskbar one by one.
But when it comes to Windows 8 system, the transparent and cool Aero effect is canceled, and there is no taskbar to view on the “Start” screen. If multiple tasks are started, use the mouse or touch mode. Program switching becomes very difficult. In fact, compared to Win7, the Windows 8 system not only retains the previous switching process, but also adds a new switching process function.
First, let's take a look at the conventional program switching method added in Windows 8 system:
General program switching method
Mouse
Whether it is on the start screen or the traditional desktop, just mouse Move to the upper left corner of the screen to display the currently open program thumbnail window, which can be reached with a mouse click, and you can right-click on this small thumbnail to “close” this program.

Top left corner
Bottom left corner
Touch screen
Unlike traditional computers, it is generally no longer necessary to connect a mouse on a tablet. Operating Windows 8 on a touch screen is of course an advantage, all The function is not worse than the mouse, and the experience is better.
Use one finger to the left of the screen and swipe to the right to open the open program window. Release your finger.

Next, let's take a look at how the shortcut switch program works.
Like the Windows 7 system switch shortcut, use the Alt + Tab key combination to switch programs, just with Windows 7 3D effects are different.
First press and hold the Alt key, then press the Tab key, a horizontal toggle thumbnail bar pops up on the desktop, and then each time you press the Tab key, you can switch the program once. When you switch to the thumbnail, the background changes. Go to the current window and Panasonic. Of course, you can also click on the desired application with the mouse after pressing the Alt+Tab key combination.
