While there are a number of apps, such as Microsoft Edge, OneNote, and other built-in apps that already support multiple instances, the new change will allow third-party apps to include the same capability. As Thurrott.com reports, multiple instances of an app will run on its own separate process. This means that if an instance crashes, it’ll not affect the other instances. Microsoft is also making it easy for developers to implement this feature into their Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, but it will require more work if it’s a complex app.
Although this should have been a feature from day one, it’s good to see Microsoft continuing to improve its new app platform. Just bear in mind that even though the multi-instance support will arrive with Windows 10 version 1803, developers still need to update their apps in order to start running multiple instances of the same app side-by-side.
