WinRT: bug hack-fix - gamepad detection was failing on Xbox One Win10's 'GamepadAdded' event seems to need to have something registered with it in order for Xinput-based gamepad detection to work. This 'fix' simply causes a dummy event-handler to be added for this event, in case an app wants to use gamepads on Xbox One (most likely).
