Table Of Contents

To completely stop all processes associated with an app, drag the app to the bottom of the screen, and hold it

there until the app flips over. You can see all open apps and services in Task Manager (open the Search charm

and type Task Manager to find this app).

Close desktop apps

It’s still a good idea to close desktop apps, such as Office apps, when you're done using them or before you shut

down Surface. You can close an Office app by tapping or clicking the X in the upper-right corner of the app.

App commands

To see what you can do with an app, open app commands.

Here’s how:

1. Open an app and then do any of the following:

 Touch. Swipe up from the bottom edge, or down from

the top edge of the screen.

 Mouse or touchpad. Right-click. You can also tap two

fingers anywhere on the touchpad.

 Keyboard. Press +Z.

2. Choose an item on the bar of commands.

Built-in apps

Learn about the apps included with Surface Pro in the Built-in apps section of this guide.

App settings and help

 App settings. Open the Settings charm from an app. For example, open the Mail app and then open the

Settings charm—you’ll see settings for the Mail app.

 App help. Open the Settings charm from an app, and look for Help. (If you can't find help in the Settings

charm, check the company's website for help info.)
