My Metro App Is Running In Background. I have problems with some of my Metro apps: I do not receive any notifications (messages, calls, etc) on the screen or in the Live Tile. I have to open the app itself to see new messages and missed calls. Very rarely, usually when I have just started up Windows, it works fine, but this still stops after I hibernate the computer. Tapping any app and hitting Stop will stop it from running and free up your RAM. Be careful, if you stop any essential service just through testing or by mistake, you might crash your phone. However, apps still kept running in the background and consumed a lot of battery juice. To further optimize the apps usage, a new feature was introduced that would kill or stop apps running in the background. Though the feature kept the apps from running in the background, it brought the Android System’s annoying notification.

To stop Android apps from running in the background, you just have to force stop them. Go to Settings and tap Apps. Scroll down through the list of apps and find the ones you want to stop. Tap it and then select “Force Stop.” This will stop the app during the current session, though it’ll relaunch when you reboot your phone.
And this is not the only metro app that has done this. Also, when connected to a extended monitor I use my Windows 8 laptop on the side with a 23' screen beside it to extend windows further. Before the problem with Skype and other apps occurred I was able to use a metro app in full screen on one screen while using the desktop view on the other.

It probably doesn't happen much, but occasionally you'll run into a frozen or bugged-out app on your iPhone or other iOS device. That's where force-closing comes in, allowing you to close any app manually through a few clicks and swipes. While the process of force-closing an app is fairly straightforward on the iPhone, it's not so apparent on the Apple Watch.
