Steps to reproduce the bug
Using Windows, suddenly I saw this thing "CoreWidgetProvider" in Task Manager labeled with "Very High Power Usage", and not dropping.
Expected result
Not having an app that I don't even use constantly using CPU on my machine for no reason, even when I didn't start it.
Actual result
The app used CPU on my machine for no apparent reason and started running in background by itself for some reason. Also the process name was quite confusing, at first I thought the Windows task bar widgets were the issue. You should probably rename "CoreWidgetProvider" to "DevHomeWidgets" or something like that.
