How to make Windows 10 tablet mode show open apps on the taskbar
After criticism received in Windows 8 for forcing the use of a interface for tablets on all PCs, with Windows 10 Microsoft has trying to rectify that error, offering an interface that adapts to both mouse and keyboard, as well as touch screens, intelligently switching between a tablet mode and a desktop mode "
And one of the changes introduced by Windows 10 tablet mode compared to Windows 8 is that now this displays the taskbar at all times , even when we use modern apps or the Start screen is displayed.The idea of this is that the user always has in view certain basic functions, such as the Back button, Cortana, or the date and time, without making much effort.
However, in pursuit of minimalism and simplicity that should prevail in tablet mode, it incorporates a different, simpler taskbar, which doesn't even show the pinned or running applications (we can change the app by pressing the Task View button).
I think this setting works best for most tablet users, as it prevents accidental app switching, and makes it easier to use mobile apps in full screen. But, as with everything, someone may have a different opinion and want the applications on the taskbar to remain visible at all times, even when using tablet mode.
The good news is that this can be easily achieved by changing the System options. Simply follow these steps:
- Go to Start > Settings (or press WIN + I).
- Within the Settings app, go to the System section, and then to Tablet mode.
- "There you have to uncheck the box In tablet mode, hide application icons on the taskbar ."
There is also an alternative method:
- Enter tablet mode.
- Right-click the taskbar.
- Click ">
Do you how do you prefer to use the taskbar in Windows 10 tablet mode, with hidden application icons, or to the view?
