hello,
as I am using windows 8 from more than 1 week. I just have one particular problem. As I play Multiplier Games online very much, like Counter Strike etc. and I don't have much good net speed. The problem is that, when I play online, my Latency varies from 40-800ms fluctuation. And this is happening just because of the Metro Apps. There are some apps, like Mail, people, social, facebook etc. that uses internet & because of that I am getting in game high Ping. is there any way to stop those app to use my internet? Please help.
 
Solution
Find the app on the start screen, right click it, and select Uninstall at the bottom. Do be careful what you remove though. I haven't verified that nothing breaks if you remove (or try to remove) every metro app installed.

I can't find any app in my task manager.
 

Looks like they disappear completely, I un-installed the Sport App to experiment, and can't find an exact replacement in the M'soft Store... doesn't mean to say it's not 'out there' somewhere, but I'm not going to bother looking if it's not readily available on the machine...
