If you have used an earlier version of Windows, you might know that pressing the right mouse button can bring up a menu of options associated with an icon or program. In Windows 8.1 apps and on the Start screen, this right-click now displays the App Bar.
The App Bar , which is also available by swiping up from the bottom of your screen with your finger or swiping down from the top, contains menu options that are available for that app.
To open the App Bar with your mouse, right-click in an app or on the Start screen. To open the App Bar from your keyboard, press Windows Key + Z.
These options are equivalent to drop-down menus in Windows desk‐ top programs and can perform many functions, each of which depends on the context of where you are and what you are doing.

Note : To perform an action on a Tile on the Start screen, such as hiding it from the Start screen completely, you can right-click/ touch on the Tile with your mouse, or touch and hold it with your finger, and the App Bar will appear with options for actions you can perform on that Tile. You can open the App Bar from your keyboard by pressing Windows Key + Z in any app or from the Start screen.
If you want to open a menu in an app or on the Start screen, you will do this from the App Bar. This is where all the controls for apps can be found.
