How to get to all apps in Windows 8 and 8.1!
There are distinct differences on how you get to the all apps view between Windows 8 and 8.1. There is also a way in Windows 8.1 to make the all apps view of the new user interface a default instead of having to do extra steps.
Getting to all apps in Windows 8:
1. Right click on bottom blank area of the new user interface
2. Then click on “All Apps” at the bottom right hand corner of your screen
3. To switch back to the main user interface, just repeat steps one and two
Getting to all apps in Windows 8.1:
1. Click on the down arrow on the bottom left hand corner of your screen
2. To get back to the main user interface, click on the up arrow at the bottom left hand corner of your screen
Making the all apps view default in Windows 8.1 (Not available in Windows 8):
1. Got to your desktop by clicking on the “Desktop” tile
2. Right click on the Task Bar at the bottom of your screen and select “Properties”
3. Click on your Navigation tab
4. Then check mark the option of “Show the apps view automatically when I go to Start”
5. Click on “Apply” and then “OK”
6. From now on when you select the Start Button or use your Windows Key it will go directly to the all apps view and bypass the main new user interface.
