ETD Control Center issues (Windows 8)

I think that I have found out how to fix it, though I can't guarantee it won't come back. 

1. ctrl+alt+del > Task Manager.
2. Right click on ETD control center then went to Open file location and find ETD Control Helper.
3. Go back to Task Manager and right click on ETD Control Center and end task.
4. Really quickly (before ETD Control Center starts back up) delete ETD Control Center Helper.
5. Once more end ETD Control Center and it should go away (albeit you no longer have multi-touch capabilities)
6. Restart computer.

I don't know if it was just a fluke and it will come back eventually, but this worked for me for the moment.
