I'd like to change the presence state in an App automatically to DND when Focus Assist is turned on. So two questions basically: Is it possible to check Focus Assist state through e.g. Windows 10 SDK? There is a similar question for Quiet Hours in Windows 8 here: Get windows Quiet hours from Win32 or C# API , though it's not clear whether it also still applies to "Focus Assist" since this is no longer a true or false value. Quiet hours had only ON/OFF state while Focus Assist can be OFF/PRIORITY/ALARMS. The more interesting question though, which is not answered in the post mentioned above: is

We are developing a Windows 10 Universal app. Currently, there are 2 branches of the app code, MAIN and DEV. We would like to be able to install (and run) both builds on the same OS instance at the same time. Right now, we do not see any other way of doing this than having a separate VM for each app build, but this is not our preference. Does anyone have any experience with this type of challenge, and does anyone know if this is even possible from technology standpoint? Each package must have a distinct PFN (Package Family Name) listed in the package.appxmanifest.xml if you want them to be

I've spent the better of half a day trying to make the ItemTemplate of a ListView with a UserControl configurable through means of a DependencyProperty on said UserControl . I've come across some weird inconsistencies regarding the two different Binding methods available on Windows 10 UAP platform ( Binding and x:Bind ). The UserControl looks like this and is part of a custom calendar component. <UserControl x:Class="FlowDesigner.UserControls.CalendarDayView" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local=

I developed a ASP.Net Web application with SignalR (WebSockets). I installed it on IIS on a Windows 10 Home Machine. Since SignalR uses an persistent connection between the server and the client I have the problem that only 3 connections can be handled with this setup. What is the concurrent connection limit on IIS 8.5 on Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Enterprise? Is there an other option to host this application at home, without having to install Windows Server? Take a look at this link where detailed instructions are posted to raise the concurrent client limit to 40. I've encountered no errors

Using MSI installer we create application shortcuts on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 , 10 operating systems. Along with application shortcuts, we also create Uninstallation Shortcut for the program. Path to shortcut on until Win7: [ProgramsMenuFolder]\CompanyName\ProductName\ Path to shortcut on until Win8/8.1/10: [ProgramsMenuFolder]\ProductName\ The uninstall shortcut appears on Win7 but on Win8 and above this shortcut doesn't appear for few products. I found a blog where they say that on Win8+ shortcuts named uninstall is removed by the OS automatically. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=378327

I've installed ActiveState Perl on my new Windows 10 PC. I've installed the same exact version of Perl on several of my own PC's, and it's installed on 100's of other users' PC's in my company. Same exact install, created by me. This is the first time trying this on Windows 10. The basic actions of double-clicking a Perl script (*.pl) in Explorer cause a console window to open and Perl to run the script. Also, in Windows Command Prompt, I can type perl.exe script.pl , and the script runs fine. But, when I just type script.pl , nothing happens. No output, no errors, no perl.exe processes
