I have just installed the upgrade from windows 7 pro to windows 10 pro. Initially I saw tiles, but now I have not seen them since? How do I get to see/use the tiles and quickly switch between win 7 mode and win 10 mode with tiles? see pic
Also, the 'Help and Support' function which was on Windows 7 no longer works, just comes up with - (see pic) ....
Last night while exploring windows 10 I clicked on something on the lower right corner of the screen (tablet, maybe?) and my screen switched to 2 large multi squared boxes (Tiles?). I have clicked on everything imaginable but can not get back to the original screen. My taskbar is also missing in action. None of the things I pinned there show up. The windows logo does nothing when clicked nor does the task view button.
View 14 RepliesI've seen some different solutions, but I've been wondering what really is the absolute best way to add your own custom tiles to the start menu. Hopefully without having it open a separate program everytime you want to use one of your own. Currently Windows 10 makes all the icons smaller which I absolutely hate.
Here's what I am talking about:
Except the Xbox and News app, none of my live tiles are updating.
View 1 RepliesI've had this problem for a while and with every build it doesn't get fixed. When I open the start menu the tiles don't appear. Screenshot should say it all.
View 3 RepliesI recently installed 10 on 2 laptops. Desktop tiles were missing in both. Instead of the expected win 10 start button, my start corner shops the familiar 8 icon. I have tried for days to find a solution online, with zero success.
View 4 RepliesIs there anyway to make tiles for Win10? Pinning apps to the start menu looks horrible..
View 1 RepliesI'm fairly new to Windows 10 and everything is going well except for pinning programs to the start menu. Here are three programs giving me issues with this:
FastStone Image Viewer
Hyper-V Manager
Microsoft Movie Maker
I am able to run the programs if I go find them in Program Files, and I've created shortcuts to them on my desktop and in the task bar. However, they do not show up in the list of All Apps, and they don't turn up in a search from the search bar. I've added them to ...AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms and rebooted, and it did not add them to the Apps.
Is it possible to customise the tiles, other than size etc.
View 1 RepliesWhy don't the tiles in windows 10 have individual colors? Everything looks so unfinished when all the tiles are the same color...
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).
Start Menu - I want to know how to make Win 10 go to the Tiles on start up & when I exit a program.
View 2 RepliesDrag and drop doesn't do anything, the tile just disappears an reappears when I release the mouse.
View 9 RepliesAfter an update and at other times I find when I boot up the tiles in the start menu have moved to a different position from where I had set them. I try to keep the tiles for those programmes and folders I use most at the top for easy access.
Is there a way of stopping windows 10 from re-arranging them into a different order?

View 1 Repliesfinally got windows 10 home update on my desktop and when I setup my family members my setup screen was not the same as theirs I was not able to resize my home page app windows or get the tiles to show up on the same screen with my account & apps so I removed the tiles.

View 2 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 have setup a HP Stream 13 notebook, and upgraded from Win8 to Win10. Everything worked fine until today when the "RUN" and "CONTROL PANEL" start screen Tiles no longer function; tried 'Run as Administrator' from the pop-up menu with no success. Obviously, something has gone amuck. The Control Panel is a necessity, and I frequently use Run. This notebook is being setup for a 80+year old relative, and trying to prepare it for ease of use. I am 'stalled' at this point.
View 3 RepliesThis happens when I click "All Apps" in the Start menu followed by scrolling/clicking. The icons also get pixelated and blurry. The issue seemed to be related to Intel HD4600 graphic as the issue did not surface when I disabled it and run solely on discrete GPU on my laptop. [URL]

View 1 RepliesIs there anyway of renaming tiles on windows 10? Also is there anyway to change the appearance of the tiles as they only seem to save as a blue tile with the Edge logo and a name that's allocated by the website?
View 13 RepliesIm trying to sort out a problem, recently I noticed that I cant add tiles to the start menu, I cant delete ones already there, I cant move them where I want them to be and that the *context* menu that appears when I right click on the tiles already pinned to the start menu only contains the work "more" with an arrow that opens a sub menu giving me a few options but nothing about unpinning from the start menu or choosing the size of the tile, I am given the option to pin to the taskbar (ive tried it and that does work). Searching for answers in the forum I came across one called "cannot move start menu tiles".
As a last resort and one I was sure would sort the problem out, and that was to perform an upgrade repair. Well it made no difference to my start menu tiles. I have windows 10 loaded on an older hp laptop (cq57) and the whole process took slightly more that 6 hours to complete. Since I don't often customise my start menu tiles I cant say when the problem began and therefore narrow the cause down to a conflict with an installed program or something else. I do remember that about a month ago that my pc took a long time to shut down but no error messages popped up and it did eventually shut down. I also remember that suddenly my Microsoft office outlook 2016 started freezing when I used the program to create a new email or when I replied to an email I received.
In trying to sort out that problem I think I may have caused this start menu tile problem, I read somewhere on the internet that I needed to belong to a special group of administrators to perform one of the things I had to do. It didn't change anything after I joined this special group so I uninstalled ms office and then reinstalled it and the new email, reply to an email was working fine. That's when I noticed the start menu tile problem and that was about a month ago. One thing I read somewhere that I need to modify an administrator template.
