It’s been a very long time since the company implemented any changes to this feature except some customizing options and alternations in the size of tiles. If you want to disable all of the tiles, you’ll have to repeat the process. Also many times this live tile feature may annoy and disturb users when they are looking for something on Start Screen and suddenly a live tile changes. Although live tile is a good feature of Windows 8/8.1/Windows 10 but it consumes Internet bandwidth to update previews and notifications. However, Microsoft almost neglected Live tiles in recent Windows version. If you just want to disable one live tile you can do this by right-clicking it and selecting More > Turn off live tile. In Windows 10, Microsoft has added the good ol’ Start Menu back which also shows Live tiles of apps. I still don't really like that because you can't pin apps to the start menu (that I can find), they end up as live tiles (ugh). Why use Live tiles when you’ve got the Action Center?īuilt-in 2010 with Windows Phone 7, live tiles were designed to notify the users about the recent emails, photos and updates from the third party platforms. I found that didn't give me a decent look though, because as /u/djgreedo says it doesn't size down. Rumors also suggest the icons of Timeline or File Explorer will shift towards the right. From this perspective, this is a good strategy because apps can be recovered immediately. Live tiles will be replaced with a new startup menu that will reportedly contain a list of all the recently worked on documents, opened projects and the list of installed applications. In the upcoming Windows 10 19H2 OS version scheduled for release in October 2019, Windows will no longer feature the old Live tiles startup menu. After the years of glory, it seems that Live tiles creation is soon going to meet the end in October this year. Users and other tech companies love this unique interface paradigm among the old widgets and icons interface. Initially introduced in 2010, Live tiles were an innovative approach by Microsoft at that time.
