The pre-installed weather app is using periodic tile updates to update it's live tile every 30 minutes. A background task is not necessary with periodic updates - once periodic updates are set up by an app, Windows will retrieve the new live tile content whether the app is running or not.
Unfortunately these are the parameters a third-party app such as your has to deal with. The Weather app that is pre-installed is not subject to these limitations since it is a Microsoft app - they aren't subject to the same limitations that we are.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
