About this tag
The tag applicationframehost covers discussions about the ApplicationFrameHost.exe process in Windows. This process is associated with managing Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps and their lifecycle. In the available content, users report that ApplicationFrameHost.exe can keep apps listed as running in Task Manager even when they have no visible window, which interferes with other software such as the Nvidia Control Panel when attempting to change multi-monitor settings.

The tag is relevant for troubleshooting app management, display configuration conflicts, and understanding Windows process behavior.
