It was the auto-hiding replacement for the task bar. You opened it by moving the mouse pointer to the upper right or lower right corner. But unless you remembered where it was at, you’d get stuck asking, “where the fuck is the start menu”. It especially sucked when you were a normal version of windows and RDP’d into a Sever 2008 box and couldn’t use the Win key.
For those of us not in the know (or who have suppressed it), wtf is a charm bar? All Google points to is 90% jewelry and 10% generic metro stuff.
I didn’t use Win 8 or 8.1 for long, though. And i’ve only used 10 and 11 via work, set up by a pretty reasonable admin.

It’s this strange, strange in-game-style menu that pops up if you pull from the right(?) edge of the screen in Windows 8
