I am developing an app that allows the user to make certain changes to tiles on the Windows 8 start screen. When a change has been made within the app, the user will be shown a “View my changes” button. Clicking the button should bring the user back to the start screen.

I have looked into different ways of closing/suspending the app programmatically (and thus taking the user to the start screen), but I have not found a way to achieve this using WinJS. Throwing an exception closes the app, but this seems like a very dirty workaround. Any suggestions?

    I’m assuming you are creating secondary tiles and want to show the users what they look like? @mydogisbox is right in that this kind of functionality has probably been deliberatly excluded.

    I’d recommend to just do an in-app ‘view changes’ of whatever changes to secondary tiles the user might have made. In general, I’d argue that this would be a better user experience because you will keep the user engaged within your application and not be essentially kicking them out of the experience.
