I have developed an application that needs to read an extensive list of files (loading images) before it starts running. With UWP, the user has to wait with the window in the foreground until everything is loaded because it is in suspended state when not in the foreground.
After much reading, I'm trying to decide which route to take. I could use the "Extended Execution" approach or start a background task.
Anyone could point me on the plus and minuses of each approach, or any other recommendation?
I found a very good explanation here:

Very useful. Thanks Phil for pointing me in the right direction. It's working great.
