Remarks

The WindowsInfo element must contain one instance of the ShowDeviceInDisconnectedState element. The LaunchDeviceStageFromExplorer, LaunchDeviceStageOnDeviceConnect are optional.

Important The LaunchDeviceStageFromExplorer and LaunchDeviceStageOnDeviceConnect elements can only be used for eligible devices that comply with the Device Stage participation and implementation requirements. Otherwise, Windows ignores this element in the device metadata package.

For more information about the Device Stage user interface, refer to the Windows Device Experience website.

The WindowsInfo element is required.
