App settings

The Settings charm is context sensitive, meaning that what you can do depends on where you are. When you open Settings, the items in the upper-right corner change depending on where you are. For example, if you open Settings from an app, you’ll see settings for that app.

To illustrate, here’s how to change settings for Mail and Internet Explorer:

∙Open the Internet Explorer, then open the Setting charm, and tap or click Internet Options.

∙Open the Mail app, then open the Settings charm, and then tap or click Account.

App help and troubleshooting

When you're in an app, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap or click Settings, then tap or click Help. (Some apps might put help in another location, so check the company's website if you can't find help in the Settings charm.)

If you’re having problems running an app from the Windows Store, try the solutions on this Windows.com page: What to do if you have problems with an app.
