I have a WPF app which is deployed as a store app using desktop bridge approach. I want to create a UWP time triggered background task to do some work in a background even though my app is not launched by user. I want to know is there any way to register and trigger background task without launching the app. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

here is an article about updating live tiles from a background task as an exemple and starting point:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/update-a-live-tile-from-a-background-task

it is all about implementing IBackgroundTask and updating the manifest to support background execution.

Hope it helps!

Best Regards.
