This feature lets you enhance the look, feel, and functionality of your existing WPF, Windows Forms, and C++ Win32 applications using the latest Windows 10 UI features that are only available via UWP controls.

Enables apps created by developers to take advantage of increased performance and as well as extended battery life.
