    Apps not closing, still running in background

    Thanks for the response. I am not looking for a "close all" function. Sometimes I intentionally want to leave an app running. In windows phone 8.1, I could exit and close th app by merely selecting the arrow/back button, I am looking for that same functionality.
    When I'm in an app, I want to be able to exit directly from there and not have it continuing in the background.

    Apps not closing, still running in background

    I just got my Lumia 950 phone. On my prior Windows phone, when I pressed the arrow/back button on the bottom left screen, I would exit the app. On Windows 10 phone, I've been doing that and I just realized I'm not exiting the apps. I had intentionally not
    exited an app (because it had my boarding pass). Instead of back button, I pressed the middle window button. Later when I went back to call up my airline app, I pressed the arrow/back button and held it. Similar to my old windows phone, it showed me all the
    apps that were open. SURPRISE! unlike my previous phone, no app had been closing. Right now, I can't seem to find a "one click" way to exit an app. The only way is after I've done a few things, I hold the back button and click the "X" on each of the open items.

    Can someone tell me how to exit an app with one click or swipe so that it is not still running, i.e. when I press the back button I will not see it? I'm sure this is something simple. I search the instructions that came with the phone and looked in the
    forum but haven't found the answer.

    thanks in advance the assist.

    SuperFetch exists in my services list. Not sure what you're referring to.

    Oh please! Forgive me! Forgive me! ...and forgive me! *Biggrin
    Unfortunately I was searching for "Superfetch" in services name... its name is SysMain and in the italian description is translated "Ottimizzazione avvio" (kinda "startup optimization").

    Thanks to everybody.
    ...and forgive me! *Biggrin

    if you are using an SSD, superfetch/prefetch is not really necessary for use.
    however, it is very good for a physical spinner disk drive.

    Yes, I am using SSD so I don't need them but I'd turned them off as well even if I had a HDD: it's been too annoying this issue in my opinion.
