    Apps keep running in the background, even when disabled in "Privacy"


    Some of my windows apps are running in the background even when i have disabled everyone of them in Privacy/Background Apps settings... They just start up randomly, at the same tame (as far as I know) I tried turning them on and off just to check if maybe it didn't save or something but that didn't help, is there any third party app that can disable this or something? It's really annoying :/

    Do you have these apps set to display as live tiles? Maybe this is turning them on?
