The Microsoft Tablet is Microsoft’s way of showing the tablet market that it has what it takes to come over and stay. Even the die-hard devotees of the iPad and the other tablets would find themselves hard pressed to disprove that the Surface is something apart.
Enough of how good the Surface is and how it’s managed to aid Microsoft in carving and securing their own niche in the Tablet Market; let’s get on with how the thing’s supposed to be used. Even though most of the UI is intuitive and can be understood by any person worth his salt, there are cases where new users face trouble while opening or closing apps on the Surface, configuring email on it, setting up Wi-Fi on it, and streaming media etc., not to mention other problems that stem from what can only be classified as miscellaneous reasons.
One such problem that users have encountered while handling the Surface is no knowing how to close the apps they’re done using. Even though there’s nothing against you keeping them running in the background while you go about whatever other business you have, you still might want to scratch that “unfinished business” itch.
How to close the applications on your Microsoft Surface tablet
There are three ways I know of to close an application running on your surface tablet; choose from among them.
• Tap at the top edge of the application window and drag it down to anyplace at the bottom of the screen. This will close the application.
• You can also use the keyboard shortcut on the Touch Cover if you want to close an application. Here’s how you do it: hit the key combination Alt + Fn on the touch cover and simultaneously hold down the play/pause button. This too will close the app for you.
• Lastly, you can use the traditional keyboard shortcut that has been in place since the dawn of the Windows OS: hit Alt + F4 to close the active application.
If the above methods do not work for you, or cause the tablet to lag or hang, then there’s probably something wrong with it, and you’d do well to contact the surface tablet tech support teams at Microsoft. Go online and find out how; they probably have a hotline number, or you can contact them online. The latter might require you to wait for the surface tablet tech support team to get back to you with a solution, so phoning them is usually the better option.
These are some guidelines to help you deal with the above-mentioned Surface tablet issues. Hope they are helpful.
