Configuring a Windows 10 IoT App for Automatic Restart

Question

I have a Windows 10 IoT app developed in C#, and I need to relaunch the app when the configuration has changed. How can the app relaunch itself programmatically?

Answer 1

Have you tried using powershell right after a configuration deployment to restart it? https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/samples/PowerShell.htm

the command

net start 'program'

should be what you're looking for in powershell

For the Device: Since IoT only allows 1 app at a time, have you considered just issuing the device itself a the restart command and the application to go on startup
