tiles

I figured I'd post here instead of Help and Support since I see that more as technical support, but I understand if this needs to be moved. When a feature looks messy and incomprehensible to me, I just don't use it if I have no real need, so I haven't used the Start screen AT ALL - I just go...

Everything worked fine until the update this week,then the system got buggy. Reboots solve most problems but now its the mail tile....I see on it, all the emails that have come in,but when I click on it,the big blue window with the envelope comes up,but it doesn't open. I'm I doing something wrong?

I upgraded my laptop to windows 10 and was quite happy with it until my desktop icons disappeared and the tiles that you saw when clicking on the start button that were small suddenly became big like windows 8 and took over the whole screen! How can I get it back to when it first installed?

I recently installed a fresh install of windows 8.1. I now want to eddit my start menu tiles. When I click on a tile i don't get any options to remove etc. (as seen in the screenshot) Is this a configuration problem or is it necessary to install windows again? thanks in advance

Anyone else end up with a messed up Start Menu. I had to do a full shut down and then start up to get any visible tiles, and.... Now they all look a bit like they were create for a very old video game circa pre-PacMan.

About a month ago we highlighted the Microsoft Band in a link round-up post, Developing for the Microsoft Band Link Round-up. Since then the Microsoft Band SDK, Link Removed, was fully released... Link Removed Today, we’re announcing the full release of the Microsoft Band SDK. Visit Link...

When the Microsoft Band was first released (and sold out and is still not available online...) every dev who got one, wanted an SDK too. It took a little bit, but now, now we finally have the first preview Microsoft Bank SDK! Link Removed The Microsoft Band SDK Preview gives developers access...

Sounds crazy, but the tiles keep re-arranging themselves. I spend time getting them arranged just the way I want and then when I return to the screen later, they have changed position. Any ideas? Thanks, Jim

I am using Windows 8.1 on a laptop. When Windows was first installed, it would boot up to the tile view. Since I would switch over to the traditional desktop, at some point Windows started booting up to the traditional desktop. How do I return to the tile view from the traditional desktop...

Hey, how's it going? I started using Windows 8 for the first time today and actually like it quite a bit. I think with some tweaks, I will like it more than Windows 7 and previous versions of the OS. However, I have spent approximately an hour trying to figure out one thing. I would like to...

Since receiving my laptop back from it being repaired (Fan wasn't spinning then the laptop wouldn't turn on after trying to fix it myself) it turns on and the fan spins just fine although I am having numerous software problems. First, I can't open my photos, music or documents folder (videos...

I get really frustrated w/ people saying or thinking there is nothing in Windows 8.1, from Microsoft, telling them, educating them or guiding them w/ enlightenment or instructions on How To use the OS. There is!! Yes, there is! There problem isn't that it doesn't exist but, rather that people...

I installed programs called vaultClient by SourceGear, Mumble (a chat client) on my machine, needed to do a reboot. After rebooting, the Start interface show up with all the tiles and what have you, but clicking into Desktop rendered nothing, clicking any of the program tiles, nothing. Going...

I am thinking of upgrading my Win 7 Ultimate laptop to Win 8. What should I be aware of? My programs are compatible but will they be hidden or incorporated into tiles?

Okay, so I am aware that I am about to sound extremely dumb, but I am on the search for a game I played when I was a child on an older Windows system. Sadly I do not remember what OS it was (as we had a few throughout the years) and I am trying to find this game that I believe came installed on...

Hi, So I waited to pass judgement on Win 8 even though everyone was bitching & complaining about it. With a few minute configurations including classic shell, I was okay with it until my brand new Asus laptop's keyboard started seizing up. Anyway, I was waiting for 8.1 to come out just so I...

I’m running VS2012 on a Windows8 64-bit computer. I posted this on the Microsoft Windows8 forum, but received no replies. After running the VS2012 update (I started it from within VS and then closed VS) I went to the Start Screen and the icon in the VS2012 tile is now a white square. I unpinned...

When I launch things like PDF files from a desktop application, it opens in the tile application of Windows 8. How do I close it and do other functions, like print and save, that I can do with the old desktop version?

I hope some of you are gamers, and I know it looks ugly when you install the game and see that there is no compatible tile for that game only small icon. Well, I tried to do as much as I can to make these tiles for you to use. Check out my gaming tiles on deviantart and I hope you'll like them...
