Microsoft introduced the Hosted App Model in Windows 10 2004 (Windows 10 May 2020 update), which can solve various problems for Microsoft and end users.
In the hosted application model, an application can claim to be the host of other applications while allowing these applications to retain their identity as independent applications.
For example, a script file that requires a host (such as Powershell or Python) can be regarded as a complete application by Windows 10, with its own icon, displayed in the task manager and task switcher, and able to use standard Windows 10 Method to install and uninstall.
To achieve this, the host only needs to declare the capability in its manifest. Similarly, a hosted application also needs to declare its dependency on the host, and then the host is responsible for executing the application, but in the name of the hosted application.
Currently, this feature is mainly used in Progressive Web Apps, where the host will be the Chrome browser, but Windows increasingly treats these applications as ordinary applications.
However, with the introduction of new features of the new “your phone” application, the huge potential of “hosted applications” has been seen. IT Home understands that your mobile application can be used as a host, and Hosted Apps can directly project the screen from the mobile to the PC and can be pinned to the taskbar or start menu.
This feature successfully blurs the boundary between the application on the device and the application running from the cloud. According to the news, Microsoft may use this feature to safely run win32 applications on Windows 10X or provide it to end users from the cloud. Enterprise applications.
Imagine that the cloud server distributes Android applications to Windows tablets, similar to your mobile phone application, but does not need to rely on connecting to the same network. Of course, the way to play games from the cloud is the same as the way to install games, making local The issue of storage and your hardware capabilities becomes redundant.
