Leaked Windows 8.1 Update 1 Build Includes ?Pin Metro Apps to Taskbar? OptionsIt’s a well-known fact that Microsoft is trying to make Metro apps more successful on its modern operating system and part of the company’s plans is also an option that would allow users to launch these apps right on the desktop.
