Sigh, now I pressed Win+C because the article mentioned it... of course that opens cortana, the app that insists on being unclosable and sticking around in your alt-tab order, no matter whatever you do.
Lovely.
- aspaceman 5y agoReally wish I could meet the idiot who closed that bug as WNF. Just know they have some dumb as rocks reason for keeping that behavior. "The user may want to return to Cortana. WNF"
- emn13 5y agoIt's also just plain weird and inconsistent - like so many windows apps by MS. The default OS behavior is fine, and works. Why are they going to the extra effort to break it? Other apps sometimes decide to minimize to the tray, but even those don't stick around in your alt-tab order o_O. You'd think first party apps would adhere more strictly to OS norms, but no...

- WorldMaker 5y agoUsed to be C for Charms in Windows 8. RIP (Global Share/Print/Cast/Project was a good idea, just needed more apps to support it.)
- neogodless 5y agoAh in Windows 10. It's slightly harder to close, but... task manager > end task does it!
