  1. Open a task working in background


    I'm scheduling a bat file to run on windows startup irrespective of user login or not. This is run on a windows server so that after a patch is done the system restarts and the app starts automatically not waiting for a user to be involved every time the patch is done. The task is running as expected but there is a problem with monitoring the bat file and see what's happening in the file. Is there a way to look at what is happening with the bat file while it's running?

    :)

  2. Background tasks no-longer running

    So I've now got my background tasks working again with the help of people at the WPCentral forum. They advised that I uninstall apps that can use background tasks, whether those tasks are enabled or not. The theory is that Windows Phone has some kind of
    issue with there being too many apps installed that register the use of background tasks and that disabling the background tasks does not help.



    So here's what I did:

    • Go to settings --> swipe left --> background tasks --> advanced.
    • Make a list of all of the apps installed that can run background tasks.
    • Uninstall as many of those apps as possible. In my case, I had quite a few apps that I actually rarely use.
    • Restart the phone.
    That's it. The background tasks for the apps I actually want to be able to run then just started running again. One person in the thread suggested you can also work around the problem by careful configuration of each app to disable background operations
    you don't actually want, without having to uninstall them.



    For more detail you can see the WPCentral forum thread here:

  3. Windows 10 Task menu background transparency

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    Apologize for delay in reply.

    As a workaround, I suggest you to change the desktop background/ remove the desktop background and check.

    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
    • Select Add an Account.
    • Enter a user name and hit Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    • Check if issue persists.

    Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.

    Open a task working in background

    Background tasks

    I am using nokia lumia 800.

    No background tasks, only home screen, seen when press and hold "Back" arrow.



    Then i go into settings > applications, tap "background tasks", tap "advanced"...shows a list of apps.



    Question: Are there background tasks actively running?
