Went in to Task manager to check some figures and discovered Forza Apex Beta is running as a background process all the time. No other games do this, so why is Forza? It’s using around 91.8mb of RAM and no CPU from what I can see. But it is still running all the time. Why?
Probably tied to the Network Store Interface Service which makes sure updates are delivered if/when needed and checking licenses for several Apps.
I don’t get this from any other apps/games though. Imagine if every game did this? Jeez! lol
Xbox DVR (in the Xbox App for Windows) randomly starts up in the background. Even if I have not played any game that day or even opened the App. Can’t be really bothered to be honest but it is weird behavior indeed 
Something like that i’d understand as it’s a system service and you’d probably forget to start it and then curse when you went to “Record That”. lol. But that’s a whole world away from a whole game running in my background processes. I have a set of utilities that run at startup and I have a batch file to disable them all for gaming sessions. Trust Microsoft to ruin my perfectly set up system. It’s what they’re good at. lol
If it shows in my processes at all, it usually doesn’t, it only shows 0.2 mb of memory usage. Hardly anything to worry about.
…all the better to see what you’re doing, my pretty!
I don’t have any Apex background process.
I ‘guess’ it’s part of the bug-report system, which i blocked like any other Microsoft ‘phoning home’ feature.
But out of interest … could you please post a screenshot of the process, and a screenshot of it’s details tab.
Thanks in advance ^^
I’ll have to try later. Just on my way out but will get some captures later if I get back early enough.
Same here, even after killing it in Task Manager, it gets started again after some time
