Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy

Reference

Module:: AppBackgroundTask

Configures the use of the global pool by background tasks.

Syntax

Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy
   -Mode <String>
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy cmdlet configures the use of the global pool by background tasks. The global pool is a shared resource that provides CPU or network resources when an application requires additional resources to complete a task. You must have administrator access to set the background task resource policy.

Examples

Example 1: Set global resource policy to Conservative mode

PS C:\> Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy -Mode Conservative

This command sets the global resource policy for background tasks to Conservative, which ensures that background tasks use the minimum CPU.

Example 2: Set global resource policy to Normal mode

PS C:\> Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy -Mode Normal

This command sets the global resource policy for background tasks to Normal. A restart is required if the previous setting was Conservative.
