Gestures and Navigation Aids

actions such as resetting, logging off of, or disconnecting from a remote desktop.

from the bottom of the screen while logged in to a remote desktop. App commands include controls that
help you perform various actions on the remote desktop or application and help you navigate around the
desktop.

combination.

of the toolbar for actions like displaying the app commands, charms, or Start menu in the remote desktop
operating system.
