Apps opening on their own?

[mozman68]

Anyone having apps showing as opened even though you didn't open them?

Has happened multiple times with the weather app for me and the sometimes right after that, maps opens. This morning, the finance app opened as well. Most of the time, they don't open on the screen but simply show up on the tool bar.

Windows 10 on SP3.

Yeah. It's a current bug. The store app is what always opens for me.

must be the internal update tile bug, update bug, but open the app to get more data

I'm curious if you are doing anything when the app opens? Switching between virtual desktops, etc? Are the apps minimized previously, or completely closed?

Completely closed...can't remember the last time I opened any of them.

Yep I have the same problem too : the store app is opening himself when I do the ctrl + win + D (to create a new virtual desktop) sometimes, hopes it's gonna be fixed soon !

Sometimes they open on their own while doing nothing, but I noticed that they start more often after I close other applications, as something trigs them.

I used to see this as well. It went away when I unpinned the store icon from the taskbar.

Mine went away after one of the updates...only thing that opens up randomly now is the OneDrive folder...not sure why.

Me too, OneNote and Store sometimes keep opening back up after I've closed them. Then after some time elapses they don't pop back up again.

This problem seems solved for me with the latest updates.
