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

    I downloaded the app so that it's on my desktop, I'm using a Surface.  I used to have an hp and I just clicked on my relationship status to update it.  Now I touch it and nothing, there is no edit button. So I swipe to the right and the setting button takes me to my pc settings. Not helpful.  I don't understand why it has to be complex, it's facebook for goodness sakes.

    Does that, "I got it, thanks" indicate you figured it out?

    If so - would you mind sharing the solution you found here?  (If you wouldn't mind, please do.)

    OK... go into your Facebook page, I go in from an app that is on my desktop.... then you should be able to swipe to the left and click on "settings" it should read facebook Inc at the top of the settings, so you will know you are in facebook settings and not your pc settings.   Then click on account settings and it will take you to facebook again, escept this is a pseudo facebook that you can update and change all your info. Press and hold the subject you would like to change and it's not too difficult, just different. Then get out of that page and go to your normal facebook page, all should be changed now.  :)

    Not so much "Pseudo-Facebook" as it is the full web site version. Rather than provide account settings in the app, Facebook chose to redirect you to the web site instead.

    I've seen this before, and its kind of annoying. If I'm using the app, I'd rather stay in it, rather than be bumped to the browser version.

    Though I don't use the app too much, really. The web site shows updates faster in my experience, which makes it easier for stalking - I mean keeping in touch with friends. :-D
