Answer 1

The MSDN documentation provides clear description of where each of the images is used. In the bottom you can see Asset size tables tables which contain all the dimensions and their usage.

As for the Square 44x44 logo, the first five images in the first row are used for different scales in the app list.

The target images are used for app icons in different places around the system. In their unplated form, they should have transparent background. You can provide just the sizes recommended by the form, but you can also provide more sizes (see the documentation for the complete table).

Answer 2

You don't need to worry about this, you can simply generate all the icons from Visual Studio 2017.

• Go to App manifest and click on Visual Assets In all visual assets
• There is option called Asset Generator, select at least a 400x400 px icon file size for the source field
• And tap generate And here you get the all icons.

For reference please have a look at the attached screenshot.
