In Windows 8.1 there was an option to delete personal info from live tiles, this was also possible on previous Windows 10 builds but I can't find it. This was useful for when inevitably something breaks on the start screen and we could 'refresh' all the tiles.My Mail App is stuck showing 1 unread message because I reimaged back but backed up with that 1 message unread.
View 2 RepliesWe have lot of apps turnings into the live tile when pinned to start in the Windows 10 mobile. Where is the option to turn live tile off for selected apps.
View 1 RepliesExcept the Xbox and News app, none of my live tiles are updating.
View 1 RepliesI need to see if this is just me or what...I installed Win10 on my Surface Pro 3 without an issue, but since then I have had non-working live tiles on several apps: Weather, Tweetium, and People. Photos didn't work at first but has since started, although it scrolls through the same handful of my pictures over and over. I've checked and the live tiles are all turned on, and in each of these cases the tile is set at either wide (Tweetium and People) or large (weather).
I have submitted this issue for Weather to the feedback app and I noted that the non working live tile is the number one complaint. Are others having these problems with Tweetium and People too?
Wanted to know if there is any way that you can place live tiles on the desktop. To me having to click start to view quick glance information is kinda' pointless and not a good way to be productive.
Using the Tablet mode on a PC doesn't cut it for me because of all the drawbacks (will not mention them here).
My home screen is almost static, all of the tiles is static and not live. Only people tile has a little animation and the tile from calendar show some information. All other tiles show the "brand" and work as simple icon.
If I choose someone and turn off the live option and switch back doesn't happen.
Any way at all to have live tiles be on the desktop instead of in start menu? I don't undertand why MS tucked the live tiles into start menu? If they are afraid that it would interfere with desktop icons, then they should make live tiles be dockable or make it so that a live tile and desktop icon cannot occupy the same space on the desktop. Terrible idea to tuck live tiles into start menu!! The whole idea of live tiles is so you can see it live!!! Is it just me alone on this?
View 1 RepliesI uploaded W10 yesterday morning, loved it, no problems at all. Turned on my PC this afternoon and when I click on the start button nothing happens. Also the live tiles have gone and some icons in the taskbar are missing too!
View 1 RepliesI set my live tiles up as wide or large, and none were live. Not even Calendar or Mail. I resized them to medium and they all woke up. Even Store and Maps went live.my live tiles are only live when sized medium, they are dead when sized larger.
View 6 Replieshow I could insert custom shortcuts, apps and folders even that are not listed in the 'All apps' category. Right now it seems it's only limited to that. Tried dragging in, doesn't let me.
View 1 RepliesCan you change the Individual Colour of live Tiles, even if only the ones you have made yourself.
As it would be far easier to be able to spot the ones that you want to use for different things.
Before it happened everything was just fine turned off my desktop PC and went to sleep. Woke up turned on PC and this happened.
View 1 RepliesSince last week i'm noticing, that live tiles, app list and description of Edge tabs are getting grey or so dark that they are unreadable (only tabs).
All this is happening randomly and it is changing with every tab opened, changed or even with start menu showed up.
Here is picture of what i meant...only calendar tile stay in normal accent color, the rest is darker.
Btw all the apps are starting/working normally.
MY LIVE TILES specifically the Mail, Flipboard and Photos app doesn't work. though Mail works from time to time
> YES the option of live tiles is ON
> YES they are updated in the store
> YES I opened them and used them
> YES I did a clean refresh/reformat after upgrading from 8.1 to 10
though my desktop and laptop works nicely
I have 71 names in my contacts list that I can't delete.When I upgraded to Windows 10, I started using Windows Live Mail. I imported some contacts from a .csv file. Others were imported from another file. I deleted that file after the import. When I open my contacts the names imported from the csv file shows "address book" under the names. The names that were imported from the other file, don't say anything.
Later I tried to deleted all contacts. When I try to delete the "other file" contacts, the DELETE button is grayed out. I can send mail using these contacts. But I want most of them off my list. I deleted all the accounts I had on WLM and uninstalled/reinstalled WLM. The contacts are still there. I am not using any social medias that could be tied to it. I have used Skype. But the names in my contacts are not from there.
I upgraded to windows 10 and downloaded windows live mail, it works, but when I download new emails it deletes all old and unread emails.
Yesterday I turned on sync as suggested, then I downloaded 10 new emails, I opened 5 and left 5 unopened. This morning I downloaded my emails, as before all previous emails downloaded yesterday disappeared.
What I mean is, if I select to keep my personal files only, will the installed programs be removed completely from my hard drive, or will they be moved to the Windows.Old folder like what happens in Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 ?
Because I would like to have them in the Windows.Old folder in case I might need some of the files there, but I want the installation to be clean as well.
I have had this issue for a while, any way to restore these. The Cortana Live Tile and Cortana entry in the All Apps section are both missing so I cannot re-add the Live Tile back.
View 3 RepliesStore (windows app store) and various apps do not open from the start menu. Store will also not open from search box. It just flashes on the screen, but does not open. Apps- such as 3D builder, Alarms and Clocks, One Note, Sports just indicate this app cannot be opened and go to store. All remedies to fix store listed in forums for windows 8 and such have been tried but have no effect. App trouble shooter for windows 10 is unavailable, but did run it and it just gave message that it is not applicable to this issue. That is reset, get apps, restore, and such. Seems all that is left is to reset computer?
View 7 RepliesI have a Surface Pro3 which came with win10 installed (unlike my other SP3 which I upgraded to W10). I just decided to customize my start menu a bit with some live tiles re-arrangement.
Problem: I can't seem to pin or unpin apps to the tiles section of the start menu. When I right-click (or touch-hold) and select "pin to start" it shows as pinned (in that the option then becomes to unpin) but the tile never shows up with the other tiles.
Likewise, I can't remove any tiles that are already there.
I've done a clean install and yet the issue persists. What should I do?
View 1 RepliesEver since I updated to windows 10 mobile build 10572, live tiles doesn't seems to be working for most of the apps. I thought a hard reset may resolve this issues but even after that the problems still persist.
View 1 RepliesI have 3 live weather tiles in my apps. One of them is working fine, but the other 2 are not live. Can you have more than 1 live weather tile apps for different locations?
I have a surface pro 3 with windows 10. Software is updated. My other live tiles are working just fine.
I remember that after I had upgraded to Windows 10, my local account wasn't available and the system logged me in with a temporary profile. Then when I logged in with my account, some of the tiles from the start menu had disappeared. I've tried opening powershell and executing the "GetAppx" command line, but that didn't work. I don't even know what the cause of it is.
What I did was simply refresh my PC, preserving my personal files and documents, although I'll have to re-install a few of my apps. But the start menu appears to be back to it's usual state. Still not sure who is at fault though, me or Microsoft...? :/
Maybe it's just me, but it is my opinion that the OS build is buggy (I have 10586.0).
when the start menu tiles are not updating/changing. The tiles are live but they dont update.
View 1 RepliesI have just installed the Threshold 2 update but still my Weather live tile is not working, it worked for a few days after I upgraded from Windows 8 to 10 but ever since then it's not worked, I was hoping this big update was going to fix this.
Is there a way I can reinstall the weather app?
