Annoying Windows 8 Feature

[Vladimir]

There is a Windows 8 feature that drives me nuts. I've noticed that when I'm in desktop mode and I have certain other apps running, those apps will show up as thumbnails when I hover over the top left-hand corner of the screen. The really annoying part is that when I brush my finger a certain way over the trackpad I'll inadvertently switch over to those apps and leave desktop mode. This makes browsing the web very painful and is a major nuisance. I'm not very computer savvy and I was hoping someone would help me turn it off.

Hello Vladimir, and welcome to Eight Forums.

Disabling edge swipes for your touchpad should stop this for you.
