Win 10 Runtime Broker taking resources.

There's a Win 10 service called Runtime Broker, it's something to do with UWP apps. Problem is it seems to have a bad memory leak that can see it use gigabytes of RAM and when it wants to it will use up a ton of CPU resources. If it behaved I would have no problem leaving it alone but since it's being a pain I'm wondering if there's anything I can proactively do to fix it or do I just have to hope Microsoft realises it's an issue and patches it?

I spend too much on my PC. Then I spend even more on my Sim Rig. Damn, this stuff's expensive.

As far as I understand it, Runtime Broker is somehow used for Windows Store apps, as long as you don't use any of these, I guess you could disable it through the registry, but honestly, I'm not sure about it's function, maybe do some more research about that. For Windows 8.1, Microsoft recommended turning it off through the task manager and restarting your PC... but again, that's 8.1, I'd try it anyway even though that doesn't seem like a proper solution.
