Hi Mehdi,

 

Please do the following:

  1. Disable the Superfetch service.
  2. Disable all background apps in Start > Settings > Privacy > Background apps.
  3. If you do not need to test Windows Store apps, disable TestComplete option Enable support for testing Windows Store applications in Tools > Options > Engines > General Options and then restart TestComplete.

This will prevent the apps from starting up randomly.

 

For details on why this happens see this thread:
