Description A concept of what a Windows 10 Charms Bar can look like when 'continuum' (touch mode) is activated on 8" to 13" devices.
The Charms Bar retains certain Windows 8 features while incorporating some of the Task Bar's functionality.

Users will have quick access to the 
Time, Action Center, Power Functions, Notification Center, Start Menu, Open Apps, Share Functions and Favorites (pinned on the Task Bar).

This version has a 'back' button instead of an 'open apps' button. The idea is to add the functionality of the 'back' button found on Windows Phone 8.
The 'back' button enables various functions:
1. A quick press brings up all the current opened apps where a user can quickly jump to a different app in the list, close apps (similar to WP8), or snap it to one side of the screen (split screen view);
3. Swiping left on the button opens the previous app on the app list and swiping right opens the next app on the list.
