📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how user interaction with running applications has changed from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. The original poster seeks clarity on the new logic in Windows 10 regarding OS-level app interactions, especially with touch devices. Respondents suggest that the core APIs and multi-threading support haven't changed much, implying the updated interactions may be more related to user interface design and touch gestures rather than fundamental OS logic. The overall sentiment reflects curiosity and some skepticism about the shift in interaction paradigms.

Hello everyone.

In win8.1 there was a consistent concept on how to interact with a running application on the OS level.
How does the corresponding actions look like in winX nowadays? What is the new logic behind the actual version of Windows respecting these subjects?

Appreciate any information

An image from 'application interaction and usability in winX'. The image shows touchscreen app gestures and commands for multitasking and app options in German.

probably a combination of api's and dll libraries with integrated multi-tasking multi-threaded calls. programmers might have a better explanation. W10 core OS has NOT changed this much from W8.1 from what I've heard.

thanks for sharing your ideas.
it seems a bit odd that only programmers are able to explain the new logic behind winX interaction on touch devices, where they had a next to perfect logic in the former Version....hmm I'm wondering what's the concept behind all that.

Greetings

Marco
