Hi I want to differentiate metro app from window apps,
I can find window app list using HandleWindow.AllWindow()in C# but this way I could not get list of my metro apps.
We know that WinRT is the Windows Runtime library that provides system services for Metro apps. Can I somehow detect processes running under WinRT

or could I use in build function like (given at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh448383(v=vs.85).aspx[^])

C#

BOOL WINAPI IsImmersiveProcess(
  _In_  HANDLE hProcess
);

I need urgent help.
Thanks in advance

Not possible.
That would be a breach of sandbox.
You don't want some random app getting information about the apps you run and reporting it home.
