Universal Windows Platform (UWP)
UWP provides a common type system, APIs, and application model for all devices running on Windows 10. So, UWP enables development of universal apps for PC, tablet, Xbox, Surface Hub, HoloLens, or Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

UWP app developers get access to the Microsoft store that charges only 15 percent for non-gaming subscription-based apps, unlike Google Play Store and App Store. Other services include an execution environment (AppContainer) and Extension SDKs to call specialized APIs for different devices.

It’s a cross-platform re-build of .NET Framework. Unlike the old version, engineers can now use the product on Linux and macOS and create applications that aren’t necessarily tied to the Windows family. The new system aims at conquering the cloud space as some providers like Digital Ocean are Linux-driven. Not only is .NET Core cross-platform, its different versions can also be installed side by side on the same device. .NET Core includes ASP.NET Core and Universal Windows Platform (UWP).

WPF or UWP?

What is the difference between UWP and WPF?

Managed code in WPF apps is in general slower than native code and requires more memory. UWP Apps written in C# or VB are compiled to . NET Native. This way the app has almost the high-performance of a native app.
