Easy way on How to Launch and Close a Program in Windows 10 on Your New Computer
You might think of Windows 10 as a bunch of useful accessories, like games, music players, and drawing software for photo manipulation, but Windows 10 is an operating system first. The main purpose of Windows 10 is to enable you to run and manage other programs, from the ones that manage your money to the great animated bingo game.
To start a program, use any of the following methods:
1. Click on the Start menu box.
Open the Start menu and click the All Apps button in the lower left corner. This displays an alphabetical list of installed apps
Double-click the program’s shortcut icon on the desktop
Click an item on the desktop taskbar to display a program that is currently open. The taskbar should be displayed by default. If it doesn’t, press the Windows key (on your keyboard) to display it, then click an icon on the taskbar.
2. When the app opens, if it’s a game, play it; If it is a spreadsheet, enter the numbers in it; If it’s your email program, start deleting junk mail
Most of the popular applications, such as Microsoft Word and Quicken, offer some ways to close the program. On a Windows computer, there is an X-shaped Close button in the upper-right corner of the program window, as shown in the following figure. Click this button. If you have a document open that is not saved, you may be asked if you want to save it before closing the program, which is a good idea. If you have already saved the document, the program will simply close. You can also use the File Close menu command to close the program.
In non-production applications, such as games or utilities such as Windows Calculator, there may or may not be a close button. If it’s not there, find a main menu and choose something like Exit from the options that appear.
