Getting back to the desktop
There are a few ways to get back to the desktop from anywhere on your
tablet. You can do any of the following:
-
Open Start and then tap the desktop tile
on the Start screen.
-
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, then tap Search. Enter ‘desktop’
in the search box, and then tap Desktop in the results.
We have made Windows’ parental control available for you
from the desktop through the Family Safety
shortcut icon.
More information on this option page 18.
-
Double tap to open icons on your desktop (similar to double right click with
a mouse)
-
Long-press to open more option (similar to right click with a mouse)
Using two apps side by side
On landscape mode, you can have two apps on a screen at a time. You can
schedule meetings on your calendar while you respond to email, or record a
lecture in class with Sound Recorder while you take notes in the desktop.
1. Open an app that you’d like to use.
2. Slide in from the top of the screen until an opening appears behind the
app, then drag the app to the left or right side.
3. Go back to Start and open a second app. It will appear next to the first app.
4. To resize the apps, drag the divider between the apps.
