Windows 10 news app live tile not working free

 

To much effort for something so trivial. Like I said, everyone has their thing that bugs them. Honestly, it’s not any work either, I just put a lot of detail so no one makes a mistake ;. Cool trick. Needed something a while back while I was still on Windows 7. Had shortcuts everywhere in an organized way, mind you. Neither have arrows! Definitely keeping this in mind just in case I’d say it’s because most users probably don’t understand that. They’d see that Google Chrome shortcut on your desktop and think they’ve uninstalled it by dragging it in the Recycle Bin which is what everyone should do with their Chrome shortcuts.

At least you can now uninstall from the new Start Menu directly. That’s why Windows actually warns you that simply deleting a shortcut won’t delete the program. It’s a small detail, but a very thoughtful one. See, I like that yet I think it’d be more useful if it gave you the option to uninstall too ;.

And it works with other versions of Windows too. I just did this on Windows server R2. And I’m happy. I never cared about arrows, but I might do this :. I keep my desktop empty except recycle bin.

No arrows that way :D. You can get rid of the Recycle Bin as well. Don’t really need it on the desktop. I still don’t get why people put crap on the desktop. You have a taskbar and a start menu. For stuff I use frequently I put on the taskbar and for stuff I use less or has live tiles goes in the start menu. The taskbar is always visible, the desktop isn’t.

Sure, lots of it is habit. I mean, the whole reason for the start menu to return is habit. Move everything to you documents folder and hide desktop icons. After a short adjustment period you’ll be happy you did. The desktop folder will still be accessible in Explorer. I’m with you here.

I don’t treat my desktop as if it is a folder to store things. That’s what my library folders are for And any programs go on the taskbar or are accessed in the start menu. That is what the desktop should be used for not just for a pretty picture. I leave them the way they are. I want to be able to tell if they are shortcuts or files on my desktop by glancing through them. I was looking for how to do this.

I use the arrows to differentiate a shortcut from an actual file. So I leave em. If I see the arrow I know I can toast it and not lose an app. I run some apps that do not install and just run from a. Anyway to eacht their own. I wish I could keep my desktop clean. I clean it off once a week or so but I work on so many projects that I just start slapping files on the desktop left and right. Anyway, OCD person’s nightmare. It should be noted that those little arrows actually have a purpose; they differentiate shortcuts which can safely be deleted with the app itself which will make you sad if deleted.

Yes, most apps won’t appear on the desktop, but some of the smaller all-in-one apps like file archivers and tag editors can. Proceed with caution. Dan Very cool to know ur well versed with Regedit I have no problem with the arrow, but I dont like too many icons on my desktop.

I want a clean desktop so i can see the background photo clear and clean. I removed all the icons on my desktop and put some of my favorite apps on the taskbar.

Thanks Daniel. The concept and implementation works for me. I appreciate you sharing. You are the man. Thanks a lot Dan for this great hack. I hate desktop icons so much that I just remove them completely. I have a desktop menu on the task bar. Hey Rubi Rubino. Why don’t you give a. I don’t mind using registry since I use Regmagik which is really good. And on restart it looks black, squares.

I hate how when I plug in a Bitlocker-protected external drive, the W10 notification category says “Calculator”. I go even deeper with my irrational nitpick and remove all icons from my desktop. The desktop has to be free of icons or it will bug the crap out of me. I used to have the Recycle Bin on there, but I now turn that off as well. I’d love to be able to put the Recycle Bin on the Task Bar instead, but I haven’t figured out a way to do that.

I do that in a roundabout way CCleaner seems to be having troubles with Edge. I can totally see where you’re coming from! After sucessful registry no shortcut lnk but blank black boxes in that places after sometime So everytime i had to restart explorer. I found a way to do it without black box or anything crappy shell Just create the string value name it 29 and leave the value data blank.

I restarted explorer. Oh that’s much better. Thank you very much. I store all of my apps and such in the Start Menu but I have a backup of my music on my desktop and computer guff like Command Prompt and Notepad on the Desktop. Command Prompt looks more impressive without the stupid arrow haha. Not sure what I did wrong Oh thank lord. This always annoyed me. It’s great until I reboot and the place where the arrow used to be is just a black square.

It went blank after a day. Now there’s just the name and no icon on my desktop. Thank you I hate those damn things. I want to know how to define my own shortcut arrow or change the system icon, having no short-cut icon can cause confusion.

I don’t like the arrows either. However with Windows 10 instead of having shortcut icons on the Desktop I just add then to the Start Screen where there are no arrows. Keeps it nice and clean. I’ve heard, but have never seen for myself issue from doing this. Is there a reason the method you described would be preferred? Nevermind, I found a great reason for not using this method anymore. Right click on the Windows 10 Start Menu goes away.

Use the method Daniel describes, not an old classic. Thanks a million Daniel. East or West Daniel is the best. Once again thanks for the tip. I hate those arrows too; but I’m also one of those persons that prefers not having icons on the desktop, even the recycle bin is absent on my clean desktop It looks like a real Window that shows just beautiful landscapes soo peaceful.

But then how do you know what’s a shortcut and what isn’t at a glance? Lol jk. I tried this and while the initial results were good, after a short amount of time I started getting black blocks on my desktop icons, and icons in my Start menu weren’t appearing or only partially appearing – had to remove the reg key to fix it.

So, to go back, I just need to delete that reg key? February 4, Windows IT Pro. Archived from the original on May 18, Retrieved May 16, April 29, Retrieved April 29, Retrieved January 22, TechRadar Pro.

Microsoft has come a long way from boring boxes and wallpapers of grassy green hills. Included with that advancement is a new version of the Windows logo, the return of the startup sound which has been dropped since Windows 8, and a revamped collection of icons that enhances flat designs with colorful gradients and adds a touch of depth to the otherwise 2D images.

One of the biggest changes is a rounded look on pretty much everything. Windows, menu panels and notification boxes all have matching rounded corners that give everything a softer look. Other big visual tweaks include the addition of an OS-level dark mode, letting you swap between a brighter, more colorful look and a darker, more subdued color scheme that applies to everything from the desktop wallpaper to menus and apps.

Another visually stunning change with Windows 11 is the relocation of the Start menu, which is now at the bottom center of the screen by default. And programs on the taskbar look a little different, too, with tools represented entirely with icons, which are easily pinned to create a quick menu of your most used tools.

Windows users looking for a more familiar, old school feel can move the start menu back to the lower left corner of the screen to enjoy a bit more continuity with older versions of Windows. The start menu gets an overhaul in Windows 11, moving away from the live tile approach introduced in Windows 8. Instead of large live tiles for individual applications, there is now an easy to manage grid of app icons. Microsoft also appears to have ditched at a long scrolling menu of programs, switching to an optimized layout of recommendations that highlight your most used and likely needed files and tools.

And jumping in and out of an app is faster, with one-touch reopening that not only quickly opens the program you want, it also pulls up your files just as you left them. The snap function in Windows 11 has been updated with Snap Layouts, with several grid-based layout options that let you set up your open apps just how you want them.

The familiar side-by-side windows layout is joined by new layouts that put windows in stacked configurations, quadrants, and even a triptych that puts a trio of windows together, with either similar window sizing, or a center panel with sidebars perfect for scrolling feeds and chat apps. These different layouts match the size of your screen, fitting to the aspect ratio and resolution of whatever display you’re using.

And multi-monitor screen management lets you skip the reshuffling of windows as you dock and undock your laptop. Snap Groups lets you jump right back into tasks by letting you bring groups of windows back in a single click.

And for a more extensive set of workspace changes, Microsoft has improved virtual desktops — and now you can have as many as you want. Virtual desktops let you create different environments for different activities, like work, school and gaming.

Delete the current title, type in your new title hit, and press Enter. To remove a group, you have to remove every app inside it and then it will delete automatically. Right-click each app one at a time and select Unpin from Start.

There are two ways to add apps and desktop programs to the right side of the Start menu. The first way is to drag-and-drop from the left side of the Start menu. This can be from the “Most used” section or the “All apps” list. Drag-and-drop is the ideal method for adding new apps and tiles since you can control which group an app will be added to.

The other method is to right-click an app and select Pin to Start from the context menu. When you do this, Windows will automatically add your program as a tile to a new group at the bottom of the Start menu.

You can then move the tile to a different group if you prefer. Any program you add to the Start menu appears as a tile, but only Windows Store apps can support the live tiles feature. Live tiles display content from within the app such as news headlines, the current weather, or the latest stock prices. When choosing to add Windows Store apps to your Start menu it’s important to think about where to place tiles with live content.
