Optional packages with executable code
Can pages in Optional Packages be referenced and viewed from the Main Application using Dotnet (C#). That is; can executable codes in an Optional Package be downloaded from the main application using C#? I have tried this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/package/optional-packages-with-executable-code but it seems not to be elaborate enough. Please any useful guide will be appreciated.Show us notifications when there is an activity available in the Xbox insiders Hub App on Windows 10

UWP Development: Share data and launch 3rd part apps
I am looking for help on the below 2 features for my app: Launch 3rd party apps from our UWP app: We will have information on which app to open, however, in spite of trying out different solutions we have not been able to find a solution that is compatible with UWP. We have tried launching 3rd party apps using package ID, family name over powershell, DLL and batch files. The option we think works here is usage of family name to open/launch 3rd party apps. Technical design referred to in this link (https://stefanwick.com/2018/04/06/uwp-with-desktop-extension-part-1/) is what we have followed and still face issues. Can someone please help provide inputs for this as below: We have the .bat file that will open third party app from our UWP app, we are able to call this bat file using windows application. But this is not working from UWP app. How can we solve this issue? Are there any other options to tap into other than mentioned in this point? Our UWP app is required to open apps that are installed on the device. Share data from 3rd part apps to our UWP app: When a user is working on an app (like MS Word), allow users to select an option to share the doc in use with our app, for which we found that Add-ins would help. However, we are not able to extend the add-ins to other apps, like adobe acrobat, photoshop. Can someone please provide inputs on the below: Are there other options other than add-ins that will help users share data to our app from within 3rd party apps?
Networking issues since January 23 (approximately)
Hi everyone, I'd like to start by clarifying that the issue I have is happening on Insider builds (one PC in SLow, one in Fast), and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Here's the thing: Last week, on Thursday (I think), both of my laptops started indicating that my home Wi-Fi connection wasn't connected to the internet, despite my phone and other devices saying otherwise. What's more, despite the error, both my laptops could browse the web (using the new Edge) or check for updates. However, UWP apps like Unigram, OneNote, and To Do didn't work. I only actively use one laptop, so there are no settings I could have changed on both, and since they're on different versions of Windows 10, and neither got an update prior to the issue, so it was completely out of the blue. After running the network troubleshooter, resetting my router and modem, and updating drivers, nothing seemed to work. Eventually, though, my main lapto seemed to sort itself out on its own, and my secondary laptop, while it took a little longer, also stopped showing the error. However, I have now noticed that VPN apps based on UWP, like TouchVPN and the Store version of Avira Phantom VPN, always fail to connect, and that happens on both laptops. There are no limits I've reached, and the apps work on my phone. Likewise, the classic desktop app for Avira still works fine with Phantom VPN. Put short, it seems like there's something about UWP apps that's not working quite as it should. Though most apps are fine now, VPN apps based on UWP aren't working. I have no clue why, but I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!
