Not able to pin secondary tiles on windows 10 desktop

Question

I'm trying to execute the notification sample from here. I'm able to create secondary tiles in the windows 10 mobile but when I try executing the same program it gives me an System Exception:(The local device name is already in use.(HRESULT :0x80070055) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task).

This is happening soon after I execute the code

await tile.RequestCreateAsync();

Where tile is a SecondaryTile Please note I am able to send updates/Notifications to the Primary tile without any problem.

Edit: I've tried pinning secondary tiles from other apps like OneNote all of them crash. So I guess its a problem with the OS. I'm on 10586.36 build.

Answer 1

Check out the MSDN sample Secondary tiles sample. (You might need to update the references to get the sample to compile/work)

It's scenario 6 you are looking for..
