Start-AppBackgroundTask

Start-AppBackgroundTask is accessible with the help of AppBackgroundTask module. To configure AppBackgroundTask, go through this link.

Synopsis

Starts a background task.

Description

The Start-AppBackgroundTask cmdlet starts a background task. A background task performs an activity for an application, such as downloading a file. You must have administrator access to start a background task.

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.
