What is a non-managed (“non-button”) program?
A non-managed (“non-button”) program is any application which is not listed on a group’s Managed Buttons tab. Some programs can be launched, not by WinU from a button, but by other programs. We call these non-button programs. These are programs that were launched after WinU started, but were not launched by WinU. WinU can track (and keep visible to the user) these non-button windows. So, if your launched-from-WinU app itself launches another program, the “non-button” program will be tracked too. Non-managed programs are subject to Intrusion Control, Window Control, and File Control, and are logged when they start and end, but no other time control is imposed. WinU can terminate non-managed programs when the desk runs out of time. If you do not allow non-button programs to run on a particular desk, only programs actually on WinU buttons (and those on your list of non-button exceptions) can be launched. Exceptions can be listed by window title or by filename on the desk’s Access tab.
