Re: How do I check what apps are running in the background of my Windows 8 OS?

Question

My system is running Windows 8 andwhen I accidentally go to the Start Screen the app I was using suddenly disappeared. How do I check what apps thre are actually running in the background?

Answer

 


The list of applications running on your Windows 8 system will appear when you  press Alt+Tab, 


Users can also hold down the Windows key and press Tab. This will bring up a pane on the left side of your screen, wthich shows the apps running.

 

You can also use your mouse by moving the cursor to the top left corner of the screen for a few seconds, where an app's thumbnail will appear - just click and drag down to see the list of apps running.

 

Users can also use Ctrl+Shift+Esc to see all running apps in Task Manager.
