I also dislike how apps are now disabling the classic win32 app icon in the top left corner. If you click on it, you get a menu with window management options and double clicking it closes the window. It’s so burned into my muscle memory as the way to close a window I get frustrated when apps hide it.
- airstrike 4y agoAs a fallback, you could always use Alt+Space to open the menu, Ctrl+W to close a window and good ole Alt+F4 to close the app
- dspillett 4y agoI've seen alt+f4 not have the desired effect (minimising the app or sending it to the tray instead).
- MereInterest 4y agoAbout 15 years ago, I remember being aghast at Skype hijacking the X in the top-right, minimizing itself to the taskbar instead of either exiting or minimizing to the system tray. Because there was a clear standard action that was intended by that interaction, and Skype had gone out of its way to override that standard action.
- bitwize 4y agoWait till you find out how Windows has hijacked "Shut down the computer"...
- MereInterest 4y agoI won't say I'm not annoyed at it. When I want to switch back to the Linux partition and Windows instead decides to spend half an hour installing updates, it becomes another reason not to switch to Windows the next time.
- glandium 4y agoI think GP is talking about how "Shutdown the computer" does not, in fact, shutdown the computer (it puts it in a suspended/hibernated state).
