[Desktop Converter] How do converted apps work with Connected Standby?

Question

Can converted apps run in background during Modern/Connected Standby? I know that the DAM will freeze normal Win32 apps, but what about converted apps?

Hi,

In Modern Standby mode, most of the sources are frozen. But for UWP apps, there are still some sources could be used like notification. Here is a document about the types of wake sources that could be used in UWP apps in modern standby:Universal Windows Platform (UWP) Applications sources. You could check the list for what you want use in modern standby.

Best regards,

Answer 2

Thanks, but I want to know specifically about Win32 apps that have been converted using the Desktop Converter.

So, can a converted app run in background during Modern or Connected Standby?

Answer 3

Hi,

No. But as it is mentioned above, only a few sources could be used in modern standby mode. This does not mean the UWP apps are running in background in modern standby.

Best regards,
