I am having some issues with a Windows 8 app and Tile Notifications. I've got them working but sometimes after a few days or more the tile stops updating.

You can use the Event Log to check for errors when your tile
notification does not display. Look for events involving your tile
notification in the Event Viewer under Applications and Services Logs
Microsoft > Windows > Immersive-Shell > Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI > Operational.
The documentation mentions the Event log, but when I look that node does not exist on my machine. Am assuming it was moved and documentation not updated. Where can I see Tile Notification errors in the Event log?
It looks like the TWinUI operational logs have been moved to the following Event Log path:
Microsoft > Windows > Apps > Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI > Operational.

I send a request:
And get an error:
How can I see details of this error?
You can use the debugger to look at all of your Network requests.
The answer to this question will allow you to view your requests.
(Assuming you're on iOS) - Once you've added the code and your application is running, click on Hardware > Shake Gesture and then select Debug JS Remotely.
Once the debugger opens, you should start to see your requests on the Network tab.
I'm using Windows Server 2016 for Remote Desktop Services (RDS) the applications I've published are working fine. I've created a logon script so that my windows application starts when a user establishes RDS session. My problem is when a user logs in and my application runs automatically it doesn't show icon notification in system tray. I've gone through the below link and added the registry key which fixed the issue but it had also shown all unwanted application's icon as well.

Is there any way that I could programmatically dictate "rdpshell" to show only my application icon? or if there is any registry key specifically I could use for my application? or anything that I could use to show my application icon only?
Thanks.
I try to create windows service to write events win windows sessionswitch event, but when I make it in windows application it work fine but doesn't work with service.
After search I know the system events need message loop enabled so how I can enable it in vb.net windows service
In order to receive Windows Messages, your program must have a window. As noted on the SessionSwitch MSDN page:
In a Windows service, unless a hidden form is used or the message pump
has been started manually, this event will not be raised.
A link is included which gives an example showing how to receive these events with a hidden window. Message Only Windows are another, similar option for receiving window events and messages.
I have built a windows metro app in csharp and need to find a way to launch this app when the user for example touches with his finger for 5 seconds anywhere in the start menu.
I have been googling for 2 days but haven't found sth.
Does anybody have any idea?
It's not supported. Windows Store apps can't listen to UI events anywhere outside of their own UI.
I understand how i can tie my application to the windows push notification service but the code i have to write to do so will only be reached when my app is started by the user. What if i want my application to receive push notifications when it has just been installed ?
the same question applies to background tasks
Setting up push notification channels and background tasks does require and app to be run at least once. You can, however, set up periodic notifications in Windows 8.1 through an entry in the manifest, so that you can have a live tile experience after install but before the app is run. If you do that, you can at least surface some info on the live tile right away to invite the user into the app, after which you can customize the experience much more with push notifications and background tasks.
You can find the periodic update URI field in the manifest editor's Application tab under Tile Update. The XML schema ref is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn391689.aspx.
Who will install the background agent or create push notification channel in this case? Yes, it should.
