switching from a surface 1 to a surface 3...both machines have 1.41 installed and I've gone through the settings to make sure they match. on the new computer when I swipe down to close a metro app such as IE, it closes it to the desktop mode instead of leaving it in metro.
Does the surface 1 have 8.0 or 8.1?
Windows 8.1 will go to the desktop after a metro app is closed if the computer is set to boot to the desktop.
both are 8.1. surface v1 was 8.0 and upgraded to 8.1; surface v3 comes with 8.1. neither boot to desktop mode, they boot to modern UI. open metro IE, swipe down metro IE and i'm in desktop mode.
stumbled on the fix; not a start8 problem. since update1 "show windows apps on taskbar" being set is what causes this behavior.
