Ed Bott - Windows 10 Support Secrets

31 CHAPTER 2 | Personalizing the Windows 10 experience Figure 2-13: In Tablet Mode, notice the back button, the absence of taskbar buttons, and extra space between items in File Explorer All apps run in full screen in Tablet Mode although they can be snapped side by side. One other touch-friendly change when Tablet Mode is on is the increased spacing in File Explorer folder listings, making it possible for even large fingers to confidently make a selection. The taskbar itself becomes much simpler in Tablet Mode. The search box changes to an icon, and a new Back button appears to the right of the Start button. In Tablet Mode, taskbar buttons are not visible; instead, you swipe in from the left and use Task View or tap Start to open a full-screen listing of pinned tiles with the option to see all apps. Figure 2-14 shows this Start screen as it appears in the Anniversary Update, version 1607.
