Windows 10: Calculator, Settings, Xbox and Films & TV running in background

I decided not to call this a question because I feel this is normal and not some kind of bug.

This was only brought to my attention after I installed ObjectDock, but for some reason the programs listed above started randomly running in the background for no apparent reason. I had not used Calculator or Films & TV throughout my entire session, but I had used Xbox and Settings occasionally.

I have no idea why, or what kind of benefit it brings. I just find it interesting that these specific applications are running in the background.

Films & TV App

Hi Justine,

thank you for helping me. I followed the steps that you outlined in your reply, but when I reached step 3 a small frame opened, however, I could not edit to remove the device. This was display only. The document appears to be saying you can only remove a
device by logging in to that device.

For your info I am running Windows 10 Pro in S mode. version 1803 OS build 17134.254.

In the support documents is says:-

How to remove a device

Note You can only remove one device every 30 days.

Films & TV App

How do I remove a device that I have listed as being able to download movies when the device is broken and I cannot logon to it? The help seems to suggest, you logon to the device then go to the Films & TV app and select settings. In this path you can
then select Remove this device. Problem is I cannot logon to that device. Any ideas? Thanks
