Tiles does not work in Windows 8 (I'm not alone).

Separated from this thread.

It is now April 19, 2015 and tiles of Windows 8.1 still do not work.   Unfortunately, the Metro user interface is a POS when it works.   When it isn't all what I can tell, it's 'Why Msft never release this OS?'.

In fact, I'm guessing it's a POS when it works because I never got any of the tiles preinstalled to work.   Those that I added work.   If we use the desktop computer.   Why can't metro tiles works somewhat like the icons on the desktop?   Seems pretty easy to me.   But it must be very hard because the 100,000 employees of msft paid a lot of money just can't get there.

Who knows maybe the msft guy is right and my QHD of 2880 x 1620 laptop monitor is not high enough resolution.

They work now!  I've deleted and reinstalled them after execution, the control of disk or repair.

If the people at MSFT, calendar and Mail knit.

Thank you very much for your help people.

  • Live tiles does not.

    Original title: Surface RT: News, travel, email, finance, food tiles all disappeared... store tile does not

    The tiles news, e-mail, travel, finance, & food all disappear from my office.  When I type the tile store it just swirls endlessly with points of spinning and never loads.  The same thing happens when I hit "update and recovery"... nothing loads.

    What is the solution?

    Thank you!

  • Metro tiles does not not - is windows 8.1 more stable than windows 8?

    I know that subway tiles are working at different times for different people. And there are a lot of posts to this topic, and many supposed solutions.

    Having had no response to any subway tile that was not a program I had loaded, even the App Store does not open, I tried for many hours to all that was supposed to help and none of the solutions worked. I kept hitting brick walls. So in the end I had to restore the computer to factory settings. Then there was the 110 updates that have failed repeatedly, and then reload the other software I had on here (well a task still not finished). It took me the best part of 4 days to return a computer to work and there is still much to do to get back to square one. I bought a separate external drive to act as a new restore point if this happens again.

    So Microsoft, please your pull together and do window 8 more stable. I liked windows 8 to begin with, I do not miss the start all button. But the subway tiles have stopped working twice last year, I'm very disappointed.

    So dare to upgrade to 8.1 windows? 8.1 is a fix for this kind of thing, or not?

    All advice warmly received.

    Yes Windows 8.1 is safer, more you will need to get future updates.

    Follow this tutorial to solve your problem of tile.

  • Windows 8 SkyDrive Live Tile does not

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could give me some ideas on why the live tile for SkyDrive (metro app) does not work. I have tried to uninstall, and then reinstall the app to SkyDrive and also tried to turn off the tile direct and turning back on, but it still shows just the blue tiles static original, is not through my pictures, etc..

    Live tiles by the way work well for my other apps, like weather, News, sports etc, it's just the SkyDrive which does not work.

    It's no problem if it cannot be fixed, it would just be nice to operate.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I had exactly the same problem a few days ago.

    Well, I tried several solutions but nothing worked. I even called Microsoft telephone support and after a search, they said they can't help.

    Finally, Live SkyDrive tile was fixed by the following steps:

    1. Moved all the SkyDrive files on a local disk.
    2. Delete all folders in SkyDrive
    3. Then use the SkyDrive desktop application to synchronize files again.

    After the files have been downloaded (couple of hour later) the Live tile began working on his own.

    Looks like a cache of indexing problem.

    Next time I'll try clearing cache tile first.   -duh

    To clear the cache of diamonds of all applications in the Windows 8 start screen, select settings, tiles and erase personal information. This will delete all the info of all the tiles

    Use it with caution.

    Thanks Terry for taking the time to answer.

    I think that my situation was self-induced.

    I just bought the 8.1 and replaced the preview.  I was playing with it.

    Out of curiosity, I followed the instructions from the link and it worked then.

    There were tiles I needed for corrections that I couldn't access and that was the problem.

  • Windows 8 tiles does not open and I can't create accounts from Microsoft.

    Upgrading windows 8.1 jumped on my desk and I thought sure why not so I started.  I guess something when it is bad because now I have problems, and I'm still in Windows 8.  Which was an upgrade to Windows 7, made online.

    When I try to open the tiles as store, e-mail, Photos, etc.  the tile turns around and comes back to the start menu.  I can also create accounts from Microsoft, when I try I get error code 0 x 0000225.

    I tried to run windows apps troubleshooting tool and I get the following messages: Windows store cache may be corrupted.  Windows store may be corrupted configuration, display adapter drivers can be updated.

    I tried a clean boot, and no luck there.

    When I try to run wsreset application fails: error message the application has not begun.

    Who knows what happened?

    I was surfing the net, stay out of my business, when the prompt to update Windows 8.1 decide to pop up again.

    I clicked update and it updated successfully this time.  Now everything works again!

    I spent hours trying to solve this problem and now it is fixed.

    WTF?

  • Windows 8 Start tiles does not / cannot update to 8.1

    I had problems with my tiles of departure for months, but because I hate the start menu of Windows 8 and do not think that it was important to ignore.

    Any attempt to download the 8.1 update failed because they all seem to require a download through the app store, which obviously doesn't work.

    I'd appreciate a helping hand if someone thinks they know what is the problem?

    I tried many things

    • Troubleshooting Windows Store Apps tool - can't find anything and said it could be a device problem
    • Device troubleshooting - finds with network card problem-> can't fix, reinstall unsuccessful
    • He attempts under different user - cannot create another user due to the error
    • Check the minimum screen resolution - 1366 x 768 - resolution of 1024 x 768 for store to work

    None of these answers have helped me, but I don't end up solve my problem: I have updated my computer and work the tiles and the app store, stopped all services that was not Microsoft and made a clean reboot... had about 200 + updates and did a little at a time, and now all is well.
