Free tool speeds up closing Windows 8.1 Metro apps

Closing Metro applications in Windows 8.1 is considerably slower than in Windows 8, thanks to a free tool you can speed it up. The developer of the tool found several registry entries that control how fast applications can be closed. With his software it's possible to easily change these entries.

The video below demonstrates how slow Metro applications close in Windows 8.1 before using the tool and how fast they close after the tool has done its job.
