Solved Windows 8-missing app list?

I just got a new HP Envy Win 8.1. On the l/h side of the screen, below the bottom row of apps is a down arrow. Tat gives me the full list of installed apps and 'added' apps.

On my wife's Win 8 system, there doesn't appear to be a similar list. Or I haven't found it yet!

I would like to know what is on there, apart from the ones on the Metro page.

I don't think that arrow is there on Win 8 machines.

If it is touch machine, just swipe up on the screen from a blank spot on the metro screen should do it.

Thank you lparsons21, that did the trick. Wife is happier now!

You're welcome. Anything to try to keep the wives happy is a good thing!!
