Synopsis
Gets background task information.
Description
The Get-AppBackgroundTask cmdlet gets background task information for a task specified in the PackageFamilyName parameter. A background task performs an activity for an application, such as downloading a file. You must have administrator access to get background information.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.
