Q:

Why windows 10 UWP framework Stream class does not have Close method?

Why windows 10 UWP framework Stream class does not have Close method?
What do I do in order to release the used stream, I have used Dispose method as of now but is there any other way I can release the stream?
And why microsoft have removed Close method from the Stream class?

A:

You are indeed supposed to be using Dispose(), or better yet enclosing your streams in a using block. MSDN says you're not expected to call System.IO.Stream.Close() directly and you should be calling Dispose() instead anyway. So there isn't much of an issue here.
