Just did the Windows 10 upgrade. It's buggy to say the least. I'm having an issue where my XBOX, WEATHER, STORE, MAIL, CALENDAR, and FEEDBACK apps open up by themselves like every 10 minutes. They all open at the same time. They don't pop up on screen but appear on my second monitor's task bar minimized. Anyone have a fix for this annoying issue?
 
OK so here's some more info. It seems to correspond to the screen saver. When the system sits around for 10 minutes and trhe screen saver kicks in all those apps open up in the background and have to be manually closed when I turn off the screen saver.
 
I noticed that too. I turn them off in task manager, make sure they are off as background apps, turn off live tile, turn off auto app update in the store.
Next time i use the computer they are listed as background process again.
 
Are all those apps set to 'show status' in your lock screen preferences? If so, it may be that when your screensaver kicks in, it's starting up those apps so that their information can be displayed on the lock screen.
