I am an entry level developer and developing applications for windows 8. What I noticed that when I started my application it remained open and did not close like I wanted to. Windows 8 only suspend my application to save CPU Cycles. Is it possible to close applications?

Yes  the thing is that there must be some process related to each of the program that the machine is currently using. You need to kill the process.

1.       Open the task manager by pressing CTRL+ ALT+ DEL and then Open the task manager.

2.       In the task manager you find a tab called Processes.

3.       Click it and there you will find a list of available processes in your system.

4.       Find which process is the one that is suspended by opening it again and then it must cost too many CPU cycles at startup.

5.       Identify then right click over it and then click Endprocess. the process ends from suspended state to End state

Yes, It's possible and this edition of windows uses the hibernation as shut down method, The possible solution is restart the pc… And if the applications not close you can use the task manager for kill the system process for free memory and use in another applications… 

I hope I've helped
