Remarks
Whereas the Windows.ApplicationModel.AppInstance.GetInstances method in the Windows OS only returns app instances that have explicitly registered for multi-instance redirection using the FindOrRegisterInstanceForKey method, this method in the Windows App SDK returns a list of all running app instances that have called any AppInstance method. Typically, an app instance will call AppInstance.GetCurrent, and this does two things: it adds the current instance to the list that will get returned by the GetInstances method, and it returns the current instance.
