Live Tiles On Desktop And Can It Be Disabled In Start
Aug 31, 2015
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?
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).
I 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!
how 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.
So whenever I close all my tabs I have the windows 10 start menu with all the tiles show up, but I want to see my desktop. It switches between them like every week and I have it set to not show in personalization. What to do?
I 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?
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.
I 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.
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.
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
We 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.
Running Windows 10 on a Dell Venue 8 pro Tablet. Several months ago, and just yesterday I lost my desktop. Turned on the Tablet went to the desktop picture after signing in and ... nothing. No live panels, no desktop icons, the action center would not appear. Just the desktop picture. If I tapped on the picture, the icons would appear for a split second. Anything pinned to the bar along the bottom would work. I was able to get to system restore and restore to a couple of days ago. That worked. What happened. Don't really know how to fix other than system restore.
I 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.
1. I would like to see a simple lightweight OneNote to replaces my "Sticky Note (not sure why the sticky note widget is in my task bar)". This would just be for simple tasks and due date but it should fully sync with calendar and onenote. Google Keep and Wunderlist UI is perfect for this kind of thing. 2. Calendar (month/week/agenda view) I would like to see my next appointments and make them without having to open the app. 3. Desktop gadgets windows 7 are what a lot of people are asking for. 4. Third party uses for widgets/interactive tiles: Spotify Playlist, Inputing food on My Fitness Pal, Weather, RSS Feeds/feedly (News)
Tiles to me are kind of useless because the whole point is to not open the app at all.
I am using windows 10 .I have issues to access with Remote Desktop .I did not see any settings related to Remote Desktop.i can see option for Remote access.how to get Remote Desktop option .
In upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 all seemed to be working but then the desktop manager starting looping flashing as it tries to install the tiles . Cannot get out of the loop. Have tried restarting but the process repeats - after a number of hours the flashes became less frequent but continue to be about 2 flashes then a pause until it restarts multiple quick flashes . It is reporting windows problems and trying to find a fix I presume but after a week of flashes it continues to be stuck. Can get to the task manager but cannot get into safe mode.
I'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.
I'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.
Had to try a few different methods to get the start menu not working problem to go away. Finally I had to go back to a restore point from just after the upgrade from Windows 7 to get the start menu to work again.
Now I try to turn back on the folders in Personalization > Start > Choose which folders appear on Start and the only one that is able to be toggled off and on is the Settings one. I want to turn most of them back on, but they are all locked to off.
I hope you can see what I mean if my words do not make sense in the attached screen capture.
