Universal Windows Platform
Welcome to the Universal Windows Platform Developer Feedback site. This site provides the Windows developer community with a channel for feedback on the following topics:
- Windows developer platform (APIs, runtimes, and controls)
- Dev Center (dashboard, reporting/analytics, submission process, etc.)
- Microsoft Store
Your suggestions will be reviewed by the Windows platform developer team to help with planning ideas and to better understand how developers are using the platform.
What this forum is not intended to cover or capture:
- Windows consumer suggestions: Use the Windows Feedback Hub app built directly into Windows 10
- Documentation on docs.microsoft.com: Sign in at the bottom of the page to give documentation feedback via Github
- Visual Studio / .NET: Use the Visual Studio UserVoice site
If you’re new to UserVoice, two things to keep in mind are (a) List items (and item rankings) represent community interest in features, and not the actual priority list for the product team; and (b) Suggestions made using this forum will be moderated if they do not actually represent a feature request (or if too many different ideas are included in one suggestion).

Read bar-code data through background service using Point of Service.
I have a bar-code scanner attached to my windows machine USB port.
I want to create windows service which runs in background and checks if any bar-code is scanned, whenever a bar-code is scanned I want the windows service to handle it and write the input to the text file.

Need to support APIs to access POS peripheral devices through background tasks
Use case to be achieved-
In an app that collects status information of assets, the user should be able to scan barcode of an asset (background task), and enter other information in the app (foreground task) while the barcode data is being retrieved (background task) and sent to the app (data transfer from background task to foreground task)13 votes
