Switching Metro Programs and Applications
Many know the combination of Alt + Tab. With it, you can quickly switch between working programs. The G8 also has the action on Win + Tab. The combination is designed for quick transition between built-in applications from the Metro interface in the menu “Start”, as well as standard system windows.
Task manager
The Task Manager displays a list of all processes running in the system. There you can also find the status of services, autostart settings and related parameters. In previous versions of Windows, this element was not called as a keyboard shortcut as used in the G8. Now you need to press Ctrl + Shift + Esc at the same time.
