    Background tasks

    The background tasks have the possibility to perform some tasks on a scheduled basis. They are not actively running all the time in the background.



    When holding the back-button you will get a list of recently used apps, not the background tasks. Recently run apps are not actively running either, they are put in a sleep state (and are not using your processor or battery).



    Windows Phone is a bit different to other platforms and will conserve your battery better.

    Xbox App wont switch accounts! Error: the background task activation is spurious

    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?
