Even after closing them they come back every time I unlock. These metro apps are retarded. Thanks Microsoft for forcing me to have certain windows open and running even if I never plan on using them.

Here is how you can uninstall some of those metro apps that Windows won't let you uninstall normally.

Open Power Shell as an admin and run any of the below commands. You should be able to tell which app each command is referring to.

I've searched everywhere and I can't find info as to why the Win32 EnumWindows() returns multiple handles for a single Microsoft Edge window. If any cares to help me figure that out I would greatly appreciate it.

Should be fixed in 1.0.43
