I have the same app and just disabled it and everything is working for me too! Also, apologies for the inconvenience and good spot stardustrider!
Sorry that was bad example - on that particular occasion I was running my development app and that was utilising a a lot of CPU. Without that running its more like ~16%. More significantly, the CPU usage didn't change before or after the Modern app was run.
I have a Radeon 7850HD. CPU usage was around 25% and didn't spike when I opened or closed a Modern app.
Hi, just to note I'm also having the same problem on Win 8.1 x64. Whenever any Win8 app is running windowed the mouse just goes nuts, but I don't think its just the mouse - all input (keyboard too) seems to just take ages to respond, and its just while the window has focus and is hovered over. Once you switch to full screen its fine.
