when i read about Windows 8 store app i found that on MSDN :

Supporting your app with background tasks

CPU usage is limited as follows:

If App not on lock screen : CPU usage quota ( 1 second) &
Refresh time (2 hours )

If App on the lock screen: CPU usage quota ( 2 hours ) &
Refresh time (15 minutes)

does that mean that i can't run background task every (10 ) miuntes ? only i will restricted with minimum (15) minutes ?

That's correct. See the TimeTrigger class docs ...

Note If FreshnessTime is set to less than 15 minutes, an exception is thrown when attempting to register the background task.

There is a detailed discussion of this in the Introduction to Background Tasks whitepaper.
