About this tag
The 'request restart' tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about programmatically restarting applications, particularly in Windows environments. Content includes API methods for apps to request immediate termination and restart, passing arbitrary arguments to the new instance.

Topics involve Windows app development, CoreApplication.Exit alternatives, and handling app state recovery.
