A collection of official API usage samples for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) from the Windows 10 SDK, maintained by Microsoft. The samples demonstrate programming patterns for building UWP apps that run on desktop, mobile, and other Windows devices.
Use cases
- learn how to use UWP APIs
- find code examples for Windows 10 SDK features
- reference sample apps when building a UWP application
- see how to implement Windows features in C# or C++
- get started with Universal Windows Platform development
When to choose
- you are developing a UWP app for Windows 10 and need API usage examples
- you want official Microsoft sample code for Windows SDK features
- you are learning Windows app development patterns
When to avoid
- you are building cross-platform apps with .NET MAUI, Flutter, or React Native
- you target WinUI 3 or Windows App SDK rather than classic UWP
- you need a production-ready library rather than illustrative sample code
