But your Internet Explorer must be version 11 or later. Right click on top of the tab and choose “open in immersive mode”, then right-click on a link in IE11, then select Open in a new window to use the feature. Other apps don’t seem to offer multi-window capabilities.

5.Restarting Apps is Easy
Dragging apps down off the bottom of the screen in Windows 8, closed them. In Windows 8.1, it only hides them—the app continues to run in the background. If you want to restart an app completely, drag it down until just the top half of it is peeking up from the bottom of the screen. Hold it there, and after a few seconds you’ll see the tile spin around to show the app’s icon. Reboot complete! windows 8.1 hidden features
