开始屏幕是(Start)Windows 8中最重要的新奇事物,在Windows 8.1中得到了进一步改进。尽管访问它很容易,但弄清楚启动它的所有方法可能需要一些工作和实验(work and experimentation)。这就是为什么我决定创建本指南并展示在Windows 8和Windows 8.1中访问它的所有方法(Windows 8.1)
1. 使用键盘(Keyboard)- 适用于Windows 8和 8.1
在 Windows 7 中,键盘上的Windows键可打开开始菜单(Start Menu)。在Windows 8和Windows 8 .1 中,它将打开“开始(Start)”屏幕。因此,不要犹豫,经常使用它。这是访问“开始(Start)”屏幕的最快方式。
2. 使用左下角(Bottom-Left Corner)- 仅限 Windows 8.1
Windows 8.1更新从可用性角度(usability perspective)带来了非常好的变化——开始(Start)按钮显示在桌面(Desktop)上。单击(Click)或点击它,您将进入“开始(Start)”屏幕。
使用全屏Windows 应用商店应用程序(Windows Store apps)时也可以显示此按钮。使用应用程序时,将鼠标(或手指)移动到屏幕的左下角并保持片刻。将显示“开始(Start)”按钮,可用于返回“开始(Start)”屏幕。
3. 使用左下角(Bottom-Left Corner)- 仅限 Windows 8
Windows 8中屏幕的角落非常重要,因为它们显示了重要的快捷方式和功能。如果您将鼠标或手指(mouse or finger)悬停在左下角,“开始(Start)”屏幕的快捷方式会自动显示。
将显示一个开始(Start)缩略图,如下面的屏幕截图所示。
单击或点击(click or tap)它会将您带到“开始”(Start)屏幕。
4. 使用左侧的应用程序切换器(Application Switcher)-(Left)适用于Windows 8和 8.1
这种方法最不方便,但确实有效。如果将鼠标(或手指)悬停在屏幕的左上角然后向下移动,则会显示应用程序切换器(Switcher)。在切换器(Switcher)的底部,您可以找到“开始(Start)”屏幕的快捷方式。
单击或点击它以转到“开始(Start)”屏幕。
在Windows 8.1中,过程相同,但切换器看起来略有不同,“开始(Start)”按钮非常明显。
5. 使用Start Charm - 适用于Windows 8和 8.1
如果您将鼠标(或手指)移动到屏幕的右上角或右下角,则会显示超级按钮。
然后,向下(如果您使用顶角)或向上(如果您使用底角)移动光标(或手指),就会为超级按钮显示黑色背景。
要显示它们,您还可以使用键盘并按(keyboard and press) Windows + C。然后单击或点击“开始(Start)”超级按钮。
6. 使用显示开始快捷方式文件(Show Start Shortcut File)- 仅限 Windows 8
如果您是Windows 8用户,您可以下载我们的特殊快捷方式并将(shortcut and place)其放在桌面(Desktop)上。
您可以从此处下载(Download):将桌面快捷方式(Desktop Shortcut)下载到Windows 8 开始屏幕(Start Screen)。
您可以使用相同的快捷方式右键单击(或按住(press and hold))并选择Pin to Taskbar。
现在您可以直接在任务栏上显示“开始”(Show Start)快捷方式,就像在Windows 8.1中一样(Windows 8.1)
结论
不要犹豫,花一些时间进行实验,然后坚持最适合您的方法。您可以在下面找到有关Windows 8和Windows 8.1的其他有用提示和技巧,请不要犹豫,阅读它们。
Introducing Windows 8 & Windows 8.1: 6 Ways to Access the Start Screen
The Start screen was the most important novelty in Windows 8 and it was further improved in Windows 8.1. Even though accessing it is easy, figuring out all the ways to launch it can take some work and experimentation. That's why I decided to create this guide and show all the ways to access it, both in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1
1. Use the Keyboard - works in Windows 8 & 8.1
In Windows 7, the Windows key on your keyboard opens the Start Menu. In Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 it will open the Start screen. Therefore, don't hesitate to use it often. It is the fastest way to access the Start screen.
2. Use the Bottom-Left Corner - Windows 8.1 only
The Windows 8.1 update has brought a very good change from a usability perspective - the Start button is displayed on the Desktop. Click or tap on it and you are taken to the Start screen.
This button can be displayed also when using full-screen Windows Store apps. When using an app, move the mouse (or your finger) to the bottom-left corner of the screen and keep it there for a short while. The Start button will be displayed and it can be used to get back to the Start screen.
3. Use the Bottom-Left Corner - Windows 8 only
The corners of the screen in Windows 8 are very important as they reveal important shortcuts and features. The shortcut to the Start screen reveals itself if you hover the mouse or finger on the bottom-left corner.
A Start thumbnail shows up, as shown in the screenshot below.
A click or tap on it takes you to the Start screen.
4. Use the Application Switcher on the Left - works in Windows 8 & 8.1
This method is the least convenient but it does work. If you hover the mouse (or finger) on the top-left corner for the screen and then move it downwards, the app Switcher is displayed. At the bottom of the Switcher you can find the shortcut for the Start screen.
Click or tap on it to go to the Start screen.
In Windows 8.1, the procedure is the same but the switcher looks slightly different and the Start button is very visible.
5. Use the Start Charm - works in Windows 8 & 8.1
If you move the mouse (or finger) to the top or bottom right corner of the screen, the charms are displayed.
Then, move the cursor (or finger) downwards (if you used the top corner) or upwards (if you used the bottom corner) and a black background is displayed for the charms.
To display them, you can also use the keyboard and press Windows + C. Then click or tap the Start charm.
6. Use the Show Start Shortcut File - Windows 8 only
If you are a Windows 8 user, you can download our special shortcut and place it on the Desktop.
You can download it from here: Download the Desktop Shortcut to the Windows 8 Start Screen.
You can use the same shortcut to right click (or press and hold) and select Pin to Taskbar.
Now you have the Show Start shortcut directly on the taskbar, just like in Windows 8.1
Conclusion
Don't hesitate to take some time to experiment and then stick to the methods that work best for you. Below you can find other useful tips and tricks about Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 so don't hesitate to read them.
