Microsoft received a lot of flak for Windows 8 operating
system because users believed that the user interface is unintuitive and
complex. However, it is because you are used to the user interface in previous
versions of Windows and the new interface throws you off course that you feel awkward.
Once you actively forget what you knew and work on understanding the new
interface, it appears to be simple and uncomplicated. Many Windows 8 problems
reported by users were nothing but being unable to understand or use the
available features
.
Windows 8 features a Metro style Start screen and different
apps to manage your work. Although it might look unfamiliar in the beginning
when you launch it, you will be able to work well once you understand all the
different features of its Apps. Almost all Windows 8 apps include a certain set
of features in common. These include commands, settings, and views and so on
but they are hidden from the screen and you have to actively seek them. To
display this list of options, you need to access the application bar (also
called the app bar) which is present as a strip in the top of bottom part of
the screen. A simple tap on the feature will help you with what you want to
use.
Here’s how you can access the Application bar if you are
using a touch-screen device:
- Open the Windows 8 app of your choice.
- Swipe to the bottom edge of the screen to display the app bar.
However, if you are unable to view the app bar at the bottom
of the screen, you might see the apps on top instead. Certain apps even have
two application bars.
Most App features are hidden away inside the Settings pane.
The layout inside the Settings pane is non-standard and is specific to the
application itself so you will have to navigate through them to find what you
want. However, it usually includes commands for setting App preferences and
other options. To view the Settings pane, swipe left from the right edge of the
screen and then tap on Settings.
Apart from the Settings pane, another feature that certain
Windows 8 apps support is a toolbar. They contain various buttons, lists and
other items, which provide you easy access to commonly used app commands. To
display the toolbar, repeat the same downward swipe you did to view the App
bar. If you have any trouble using Windows 8 Apps or suffer from any other Windows
8 problems, do not hesitate to contact our technical support team.
