Another way: Ctrl-Alt-Del brings up the screen where you can click on the button in the lower-right and select shutdown, sleep, or restart.

 

Anyone know how to pin metro control panel to Start?

You can put it your desktop thru Personalization, desktop Icons.

 

Thanks for the tip.
I rt. clk on shortcut & chose "Pin to Start", that worked too

 

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't polished the metro buttons... Transparency makes them look bad. Other then that can't complain about CP I'm using it on a very low end laptop with hardly and problems and its smooth and fast... accept when I take a screenshot, it lags for a few seconds after I press PrtSc.

 

Try WinKey + PrtScr & its taken & saved automatically (as a .png)

Be careful doing that one. I broke start scren messing with that. Memory leak once again. And ofcourse, since taskmanager is not taskmanger anymore, but an app, you can't even bring up taskmanager because the start screen "app" has crashed

 

In contrast to WDP Metro apps stop displaying when switching from 1024x768 back to 1024x600...

 

Unistall and save your data, Re-install it with administrator (right click on install file)!!

 

What do you mean? Mine is working from 1024x768 to 1024x600

 

Thas called Windows 7. :/

 

I kinda agree.

 

The Metro-Apps worked for me until yesterday. Now they don't start anymore.

 

Even without Transparency they look EXTREMELY aliased and really really cheap...........
