The user experienced issues with closing apps by swiping from the top and accessing charms from the right side on their Windows laptop. A system restore resolved the problems, though it required reinstalling non-Modern UI apps. The user suspects that Windows 8.1 updates may have caused the issues.

My laptop no longer will close an app by swiping from the top. And, swiping from the right side to bring up charms only works on the top half of the screen.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Jim

Well, the system restore fixed the problem. Now I have to re-install all of the non-Modern UI apps.

Hi Jim,
glad to hear you got things sorted. I wonder what it was that caused the issue in the first place?
