Note: the user can always enable or disable this permission by going to the Settings app | Privacy | App diagnostics at any time. If the user denies this request, then the running app information will be restricted to the current app only. On first launch, the app will show a user-consent dialog, to grant permissions to access information about other running apps. From this list, you can activate any packaged app. The app also reports on installed packages, including Apps, Frameworks, Optional Packages and Resource Packages. You can also suspend/resume/terminate any non-system packaged app.

On the Apps tab, you can select an app, and then drill down on the Details tab to get further information about the state of the app. The Processes tab lists all running processes (packaged or unpackaged). The app exercises the diagnostic and deployment APIs to gather diagnostic information on installed and running apps (both Win32 and UWP), including resources usage (CPU, memory, disk), execution state, background tasks, and so on.

That said, please feel free to file bugs via feedback. For this reason, the app is not always completely stable. Please note that this is an exploratory app: it undergoes frequent updates, as we explore new ways to gather diagnostic information, and as new APIs are introduced. Instead, the app serves 2 purposes: (1) as an exploration of the diagnostic APIs, and (2) to fill the gap on devices that don't support the traditional Task Manager app (eg, on Xbox or on Windows 10X). Note that this is not intended as a replacement for the traditional Task Manager. The Universal Task Manager (uTaskManager) is a Universal Windows Platform app that provides much of the same functionality as the traditional Win32 Desktop Task Manager app.
