Remarks

By default, app bars are dismissed when the user interacts with your app anywhere outside of the app bar. This is called light dismiss. To keep commands visible, you can change the dismissal mode by setting the IsSticky property to true. When an app bar is sticky, it's dismissed only when the user right-clicks, presses Windows+Z, or swipes from the top or bottom edge of the screen.
