Open Url

Question
-
Hello!
I open a webpage with this line of code:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(@"http://www.microsoft.com"));
Since Windows 8.1 the webpage is not opening in a own window, it is shown as splitscreen.
Is it possible to force not to open in Splitscreen?
Thx

You need to upgrade your app to target Windows 8.1 to use the new Windows 8.1 features.
Windows 8 apps will run on Windows 8.1 but won't have access to the new API.

You cannot force it, but you can request how you want it opened by setting LauncherOptions.DesiredRemainingView .
See the LaunchUriAsync(Uri, LauncherOptions) | launchUriAsync(Uri, LauncherOptions) method.

Thx for answer!
This property do not exist in my LauncherOptions.
Perhaps this is because we are developing in 4.5.0? Is there a way in 4.5.0?
