After the 8.1 Update yesterday the Windows Store keeps automatically opening at boot. After I close it it will then re-open fifteen minutes later. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for fixing it?

The store screen actually opens? On the machines I've updated, the Store will have an icon pinned to the Task bar but doesn't actually open.

Yeah... the store actually opens up. Kind of annoying.

It looks like it may have been a ModernMix issue. I uninstalled it and the problem went away. Re-installed it and it's still okay.
