windows store close .. how?

[CarvedDuck]

hi, i am using win8.1 tablet and the win store cannot be closed.

i have tried the hold at the top and drag down thing but i never get the little hand at the top of the screen.

currently i am using taskmanager to kill off the store when i am done, but that sucks.

it beats me why msoft makes it so hard to close their apps.

any thoughts on how to close the store?

I don't think it shows the 'hand' cursor any longer, you just drag it down.

When Windows Store is on the screen use ALT + F4

If you have applied update one, mouse to the top of the screen and the title bar should drop down. There will be an X on the right that you can click to close it.

Yes the hand doesn't show up anymore but you can still drag it down to close it.
