For small developers getting downloads for their apps even really good ones are hard, is there a way to get them featured on the home page of the Microsoft Store?

Our add-on products are subscriptions. The reporting and the acquisition chart do not provide needed information for subscriptions.

The downloadable report for each payout should show the number of months the user has been subscribed, and which subscribers are in the free trial phase.

The acquisition chart should show, per the time period selected, the number of new subscriptions, the number of cancellations during the free trial, and the number of cancellations for paid subscribers. Also, the acquisition chart should show also the average number of months a user stays subscribed for – calculated from the time add-on subscription launched.

I have an app listed on the store here
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/deskrule-desktop-search-engine/9nblggh43z1v
it is declared as "free to try" but prospective users just see a big BUY button, and to get the free trial they have to hunt for the […] button and its menu. I am sure this limits the # of people willing to try the app!

The default action button for free to try apps should be DOWNLOAD FREE TRIAL instead of "buy"

UWP's Gridview has only Single/Extended/Multiple selection methods. There is no selection method by mouse rectangle selection, like we select in windows explorer. i.e. click-drag to draw a rectangle to select multiple GridView items, using mouse.

Since Windows 10 RS5 when I try to create WebView Instance with WebViewExecutionMode.SeparateProcess from the Hyperlink.Click callback, the app crashes without any way to capture this exception.
This worked in Windows 10 RS4.

UWP desktop app targeting Windows 17763, requesting and being granted an extendedExecutionSession can target the vibration motors through a windows.gaming.input.gamepad's Vibration interface but once the app gets minimized applying the Vibration property silently fails.
Please honor the extendedExecutionSession context, thanks.

Since some Win10 version, there is only one 'balanced" power scheme, where the user can change the setting with a slider when clicking on the battery icon in the taskbar.
But there is no public API yet where you can access which of the actual slider states is enabled (or set it). I would expect one in powrprof.dll, similar to PowerGetActiveScheme(), but then for the actual one.
Or at least create a parameter for it in powercfg.

Thanks!

There are no official samples for the keyboard input injection.
The documentation for Windows.UI.Input.Preview.Injection is sparse and does not explain how to use the available classes and methods. Only touch injection has some code samples.
An example of the "on-screen software keyboard" would be ideal.

In order to make things more efficient when mixing a lot of synthesized notes, I'd like us to consider having a AudioInputNode that supports N channels, where N could be 8 or more.

This significantly improves performance when one is attempting to mix multiple synthesized sounds (content that is made on the fly in the AudioFrameInputNode.QuantumStarted event).

Thanks

Universal XAML - Embrace UNO UWP and extend it.

Make possible for Developers to use the same XAML dialect on Web, Mobile, Desktop and IoT Applications

Also make all this work with all .NET languages, including F#

As per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/dev-guide/windows-integration/web-notifications-api

A flipview like behavior that has position indicator on the bottom and changing items is infinite and circular. Swiping from the last item woudl change to the first item and the position idicator will chane to the first as well. Just like a carousel that is found on different web UIs.

The following code provided by https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/audio-video-camera/codec-query results in an exception "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in MediaElementControl.exe [16416]
CodecQuery thisCodecQuery = new CodecQuery();
IReadOnlyList<CodecInfo> thisReadOnlyList;
thisReadOnlyList = await thisCodecQuery.FindAllAsync(CodecKind.Audio, CodecCategory.Decoder, string.Empty);

I have tried changing the Min version to Build 17763 without change.

I also tried the following without change:
thisReadOnlyList = await thisCodecQuery.FindAllAsync(CodecKind.Audio, CodecCategory.Decoder, "");

And, I tried the following that at least allowed me to handle an exception of System.ArgumentNullException "Value cannot be null." for the SubType:
thisReadOnlyList = await thisCodecQuery.FindAllAsync(CodecKind.Audio, CodecCategory.Decoder, null);

I get the same problems when I try:
thisReadOnlyList = await thisCodecQuery.FindAllAsync(CodecKind.Audio, CodecCategory.Encoder, string.Empty);

Allow to set in timepicker various type of time. For example H:mm:ss or only hours and UI of control will reflect theese formats.

WebAuthenticationBroker is becoming obsolete as websites like GitHub are dropping support of the IE browser.

When using System Center Authoring Tool in SCOM or SCSM, it's convenient with the GUI window generated from management pack(xml file).
So we think it could be better if we can have such feature in vs IDE.
Thanks

Allow Store Product Add Ons to be deleted or at least hidden if they are not active.

Over time our list has become unmanageable due to not realizing once submitted even if the add on is never used it cannot be removed. Even just hiding inactive products by default would help us manage our list of add on products better.

Default behavior of the Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.ListBox is to display a portion of the text in the last or first lines which do not entirely fit in the listbox. This forces users to scroll up and down to see all of the text.

The calculation to limit the rows in a listbox to only lines that can be shown is simply ListBox.ActualHeight/TextBlock.ActualHeight. I recommend a property such as "VerticalAlignment" with an enum that includes None, FitWholeLines, Shrink, Grow, whatever.

The PointerMoved event only gets fired once or twice...subsequent user activity only triggers the PointerEntered and PointerExited events. Compare this with the TextBlock controls sitting on a Canvas container.

And, the ManipulationStarting event is the only manipulation event that is fired.

Due to that the ListBox control is useless for displaying the contents of random access file streams since in order to load additional data the application has to be able to capture user interactions.
