max22 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 How do you set Windows 8.1 to automatically close apps you open after a set period of time like android and ios does ? Otherwise it will use all my ram on my windows tablet until it slows down to a crawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieakers Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just like desktop Windows - you close your apps yourself. Do you really want Windows closing your web-browser or Word after 30 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll never use up resources your PC/Tablet needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max22 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 MyTube app does when going away from the program if a youtube video is playing. I still can't figure out how to change settings for this ? Its free to try don't worry. http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/mytube/0fd0d07b-4fe1-4bc6-8553-b38ec52e8da9 Even on desktop modes I continue to hear the youtube video sound if a video is playing. Tubecast has the option to disable this on settings I found but I don't want to pay $2.99 MyTube I like better and is only 99 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James035 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well it won't. In Windows, apps shouldn't use up CPU and RAM after a while if they aren't currently in focus. You can manually close them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
