Note: The apps you installed from Windows 8 Store are now officially called as “Windows 8 Store Apps”, so we should stop calling them as metro apps (and also as Windows 8 apps) and of course, Metro UI now being officially called by Microsoft as Modern UI.
Your method doesn’t work at all :(
Can you be more specific? I mean for which apps you’ve observed history not deleted? history on switcher clears immediately, is that OK on your end?.
