Remarks

Consolidating an app view doesn't close it but rather hides it from the Windows shell, whether the user closed the app or this method is called programmatically. It can still be shown programmatically by the app using the various methods of ApplicationViewSwitcher. To close the app view permanently, call CoreWindow.Close.
