## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 8, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4146, "days_push": 2773, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: archived
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A collection of Windows 10 IoT Core sample code from Microsoft, written primarily in C/C++. The repository has been moved to Microsoft/Windows-iotcore-samples and this location is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- find sample code for Windows 10 IoT Core devices
- learn how to build apps for Raspberry Pi with Windows IoT
- get started with Windows IoT Core development
- find C examples for IoT hardware projects

## When to choose
- you want historical Windows 10 IoT Core sample code and are following an old link
- you need the original MIT-licensed samples for reference

## When to avoid
- you want current samples or to contribute - use the Microsoft/Windows-iotcore-samples repository instead
- you need actively maintained IoT examples
- you target platforms other than Windows 10 IoT Core

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, iot, embedded
- domain: iot, windows, embedded-systems, tutorials
- platform: windows, iot, cpp
- tags: sample-code, windows-10-iot-core, moved-repository, microsoft
