To restart a Modern UI app (app that you installed from Windows Store) you need to close the app completely. You can do this in two ways.

Using your mouse, click and drag the app (running app) down to the screen and hold it for a while to get it closed. You can also use Win + Down arrow keys on the keyboard to close an app.

Another way to close a running metro app or any app in Windows 8.1 is via Windows Task Manager. Just open the Task manger (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and under Process tab, kill required apps.
