Final answer:

To close Universal apps in Windows 10, Jeff can click the 'X' button on the app, use the Alt+F4 keyboard shortcut, utilize Task Manager, right-click on the Taskbar, or swipe down on a touchscreen.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jeff wants to close Universal apps in Windows 10, he can do so in a few different ways:

  • Click the X – In the top-right corner of the app window, there's an X button that Jeff can click to close the app immediately.
  • Use Alt+F4 – While the app is active, Jeff can press the Alt key and F4 together on the keyboard to close the app.
  • Task Manager – Jeff can open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc, find the app in the list, click it, and then click 'End task' to close it.
  • Right-click on the Taskbar – Jeff can right-click the app's preview on the taskbar and select 'Close window' from the context menu.
  • Swipe down – If Jeff has a touchscreen, he can swipe the app from the top of the screen to the bottom to close it.

These methods will help Jeff manage and close Universal apps efficiently in Windows 10.
