  Yes, AFAIR - even in 8.1 (my system came with 8.1) - there was a
'swipe' to the right edge and then click to get to some settings stuff
and a 'swipe' to the upper-left and then click to switch from the Fisher
Price GUI to Real Windows (TM). Very akward and counter-intuitive.
AFAIR, a side-effect of the touch screen UI.

  I switched from the Fisher Price GUI to Real Windows (TM) and
installed the Classic Start Menu and lived happily ever since. (Now on
Windows 11 (skipped 10).)

  N.B. Even Windows 11 has a bit of this silliness: I can move the
pointer off-screen to the right or to the bottom (below the Taskbar) and
click and it behaves as if the pointer is still on the Desktop/Taskbar,

  When trying to move the pointer off-screen to the top or left, the
pointer just hits the top/left of the screen.
