Answer 1

In non-UWP programme You can create a new process and run

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe /l /t 0

But this is not available to UWP programmes. Check out the Stack Overflow link here for another take on this problem. But it looks like you are out of luck.

As i see your code above , you are actually closing the application. In UWP , Application works on states like Activated, Running, Suspended or Exited If you want to log out from the application , it means that you would like to wipe of all user data and his Navigation History.

Make A function that clears the NavigationTrace and once the NavigationEntry is cleared , navigate the user to the login screen/home page
