How to know when any application is opened or closed in Windows 8 or 10 using C#?
Is there any specific event we can subscribe?

I'm not saying there isn't one, but I've not heard of an event for this. You could instead regularly get a list of all running processes and compare the new list to the values from last time. The difference between the two would let you know what has opened and closed. – Equalsk Jan 13 '16 at 15:55

The linked answer doesn't show exactly how to monitor applications closing, but you just use the `__InstanceDeletionEvent` in exactly the same way as the linked answer uses `__InstanceCreationEvent`. – Matthew Watson Jan 13 '16 at 15:56

@LaPuyaLoca you can use the `Process` class you could even look into `Mutex` but that's a bit more advanced also check this previous post out this will do the trick for you [Checking if Windows application is running](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4722198/checking-if-a-windows-application-is-running) – MethodMan Jan 13 '16 at 15:57
