I HATE Windows 8. This is the worst OS ever invented.

How in the  does anybody operate in this environment. I now have 20 windows open and can't figure out how to close a damn thing. I know the weather in Paris and couldn't give a. This SUCKS!!! This is an improvement? Can I get Windows XP or 7 back? This SUCKS!!! I can't get around. I can't close a window. I can't update any of these stupid tiles. This SUCKS!!! Any advice from anybody else out there? Frustrated beyond belief, John

    Thanks for the info.  Just loaded Start8 and it's the best $5 I've ever spent.  I've been looking for an apt like that but for some reason I didn't find it.  Thanks again.

    You're welcome. Glad to help.

    Move your mouse to the lower right hand corner and icons (charms) will emerge.

    Select the lower one which looks like a gear.

    A settings menu will appear with a power button near the bottom.

    This will allow you to shut down.

    Could they make it any more non-intuitive and difficult to find? Ridiculous.

    Alternatively (and preferably, in my view) download and install the
    free Classic Shell (or even better, the $4.99 Start8), which will put
    back the Start Orb and Start menu. Then you can shut down (and do
    almost everything else) just as you did in Windows 7.

     Personally, I like Windows 8 for the most part.
