I have a DesktopBridgeToUWP apps which registers an in-process background task that must run when Session Connected.
The background task runs effectively after the computer has been started up. As soon as the computer goes in battery saver and re-boot system the task doesn't run anymore. When the computer is plug-in AC and reboot system, the task runs again.
Is this true or doesn't this apply to system triggered background tasks? And have any method to allowed task runs?

Hi,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
The offical document mentions “ In Battery Saver mode, it cuts off all background activity of all apps when the battery level drops below a user-defined threshold, except for the background activity of apps that have been set to "Always allowed." “
So you could try to set your app background activity to “Always allowed”. On desktop and mobile devices running Windows 10, version 1607 or later, users can view their "Battery usage by app" in the Battery section of the Settings app, then they will see a list of apps, select your uwp app to open up controls related to background activity and change it.

Thank you for you Answer.
If I want to use source code to set background activity to "Always allowed". It work?
@Jonathan Chen I have to say this issue might not be solved directly via code. Currently, uwp doesn’t provide such api to do this. So my suggestion is that you can notify the user and point them to the Settings app, which can be accomplished by Launching the Settings App to the Background Apps or Battery Usage Details page.
@Jonathan Chen Has your issue been solved? I will appreciate it if you could mark a useful answer, which will help others that facing same question.
