I thought UWP Desktop Bridge might allow enough desktop access to support packaging a Windows service. Nope, the Bridge is not designed for that purpose and Windows services are explicitly not allowed.

Elsewhere the docs talk about registering background tasks through another interface, but it seems like proper integration with services is a legitimate use case for people trying to embrace the blessed desktop path.
- pjmlp 9y agoThe desktop bridge is only thought as a way to package legacy desktop applications as a stepping stone to port them into fully UWP ones. That is the workflow all Microsoft sessions about it focus on.
- vitorgrs 9y agoI think you can do the other way, too! A UWP app, + Win32 project app with service, full trust capabilities declared on manifest of this project then.
