Other than task manager, which I get to by doing ctrl-alt-del or right-click the task bar in desktop mode, is there a quicker way? Maybe an app similar to the task killer apps in Android.
Or just leave Task Manager running on Desktop (you can probably also create a shortcut or use the Charms Bar and search to quickly open it). Then whenever you need to kill apps just jump back take two seconds kill everything (except the app you want) and jump back to your app. Maybe not ideal but it should be fairly quick and easy.no, I want to close several at a time. If I leave a bunch running in the background, and I am about to play a game, pinball for example, I like to close a bunch of apps to get better framerates. Seems I have to go to task manager to do this. It would be nice to have a metro app...
