Is it meant to do this? What can I do to get rid of this?

Thanks,

You have Windows 8.1 Update 1 installed.
What you see in your Start screen is the current version.

The " this person's metro " is the old version, prior to Update 1.

No. What it normally does when I right click is have all the options pop up along the bottom. I have never seen this menu other than in desktop mode. Sorry if I'm explaining this badly.

In this persons metro, they have the options at the bottom... 😕

Ok thanks. Have just been doing some updating so that explains it. Shame though. How do I close a post? Or don't I? Do I just leave it? Sorry. 🙂
