About this tag
The onactivated tag covers the OnActivated event in Universal Windows Apps (UWAs), which is used to handle activation from command-line arguments. This feature, introduced in Windows 10 build 16226, allows developers to activate a UWA from the command line and pass arbitrary arguments.

The tag is relevant for Windows developers working with UWP and command-line activation scenarios.
