How to relaunch a Windows 10 IoT app programmatically

I have a Windows 10 IoT app developed in C#, and I need to relaunch the app when the configuration has changed. How can the app relaunch itself programmatically?

Have you tried using powershell right after a configuration deployment to restart it? https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/samples/PowerShell.htm

the command

net start 'program'

should be what you're looking for in powershell

For the Device: Since IoT only allows 1 app at a time, have you considered just issuing the device itself a the restart command and the application to go on startup

Base on the Richard's comments I have resolved as follows:

  1. I set my application as the default application (see picture)
  2. When I need to relaunch the app, simply close it and the operating system opens again.

The code for close the app is:

private void Exit()
{
   Windows.ApplicationModel.Core.CoreApplication.Exit();
}
