Change The Default Startup Page In UWP

When you are creating any new Universal Windows Application, Visual Studio defaults start the MainPage.xaml. Here we will have a look at how to change it to a custom page according to the user choice. 

Step 1: Open Visual Studio and add a new page to your project by right clicking your Project Add a New Item

 

Step 2: Add a new Blank Page. You can give your custom name for the App. Here I have given a name myNewPage  

 

 

Here for understanding I have changed the background color of my new page to light blue.

 

Step 3: Open the App.xaml.cs page and find the following code

if (e.PrelaunchActivated == false)
{
    if (rootFrame.Content == null)
    {
        // When the navigation stack isn't restored navigate to the first page,
        // configuring the new page by passing required information as a navigation
        // parameter
        rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage), e.Arguments);
    }
    // Ensure the current window is active
    Window.Current.Activate();
}

Step 4: Here change the MainPage to your new Page name

 

Step 5: Run and Test your Application
