-Mode <String>
[-WhatIf]
[-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy cmdlet configures the use of the global pool by background tasks. The global pool is a shared resource that provides CPU or network resources when an application requires additional resources to complete a task. You must have administrator access to set the background task resource policy.
Examples
Example 1: Set global resource policy to Conservative mode
PS C:\> Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy -Mode Conservative
This command sets the global resource policy for background tasks to Conservative, which ensures that background tasks use the minimum CPU.
Example 2: Set global resource policy to Normal mode
PS C:\> Set-AppBackgroundTaskResourcePolicy -Mode Normal
This command sets the global resource policy for background tasks to Normal. A restart is required if the previous setting was Conservative.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
