Runtime Broker is used to determine whether universal apps you got from the Windows Store–which were called Metro apps in Windows 8–are declaring all of their permissions, like being able to access your location or microphone. Though it runs in the background all the time, you will likely see its activity rise when you launch a universal app. You can think of it like a middleman hooking your universal apps with the trust and privacy settings you’ve configured.
