protocol activation

About this tag
Protocol activation in Windows 10 enables apps to communicate and share data through custom URI schemes and contracts. This feature allows one app to launch another by invoking a registered protocol, passing data such as text, images, or files. The Universal Windows Platform (UWP) supports cross-app communication where apps define their own contracts to extend functionality. Developers can register custom protocols so their apps respond to specific URIs, enabling seamless integration between applications. This mechanism is part of Windows 10's broader effort to improve app interoperability and user workflows.
