After restarting, Battle-net kept restarting even after killing it, I 
tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't even do that, it kept telling me a 
game was open that required it.  Eventually I got it uninstall by 
closing the xbox app as well.  What a piece of shit!

Why do we have to have both Battle-net and xbox app when MS owns 
Blizzard?!?!  These things are getting rediculous.
