Microsoft introduced the Live Tiles feature in the Start menu a long time ago in Windows 8. These live tiles are very useful as they display information and status of applications. For example, the Weather app uses Live Snippets to display quick weather information, the Mail app shows your latest emails, Calendar app shows your upcoming appointments or events, News app shows last news. Windows Live Tiles sometimes get stuck and show the same information without any updates. To solve this problem of Live Tiles not working or updating in Windows 10/8, you can make Windows automatically clear Live Tiles every time you shut down your system. This forces live fragments to update when the Windows system is turned on.
Let's revive broken tiles in Windows 10
As in many other cases, we use the convenient Windows registry to automatic shutdown live tiles when you shut down your system. Before editing the registry, create a way to restore it if you make any mistakes or something goes wrong.
- Enter in " Searching"windows, near the start button, command regedit.
- Right click on SERP regedit And launch on behalf of administrator.
IN Windows registry move on to the next location. To make things easier, copy the path below and paste it into address bar registry window and press the "Enter" button. This action will automatically take you to the desired key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
- Click on final Windows folders right click, select " Create" > "Chapter".
- Name the new section Explorer.
- Select a folder Explorer with one click.
- On the right side of the empty field, right-click and " Create" > "DWORD value (32 bits)".
- Give the created parameter a name.
- Now open the key option by double clicking on it.
- Enter a number in the "value" field 1 and click OK.
Restart your computer or laptop for the changes to take effect. From now on, Windows 10/8 will automatically disable running fragments when you shut down your system. When you return to the desktop after turning on the system, live tiles will work and update with new information automatically.
Many Windows 10 users are faced with the fact that tiled applications do not launch, do not work, or open and close immediately. At the same time, the problem begins to manifest itself, without visible reasons. This is often accompanied by the search and start button stopping working.
Attention: in some cases, following the instructions in this section may lead to additional problems with Windows 10 applications (for example, empty squares with labels will appear instead), take this into account and first, it’s probably better to try the following described methods, and only then return to this.
One of the most effective measures that works for most users in the described situation is re-registration of Windows 10 store applications. This is done using PowerShell.
First of all, run Windows PowerShell on behalf of the administrator. To do this you can start typing in Windows search 10 "PowerShell", and when the right application will be found, right-click on it and select run as Administrator. If the search does not work, then: go to the folder C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 right-click on Powershell.exe, select run as administrator.
Copy and enter the following command into the PowerShell window, then press Enter:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach (Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml")
Wait for the command to complete its execution (while not paying attention to the fact that it may produce a significant number of red errors). Close PowerShell and restart your computer. Check if they are working Windows applications 10.
If this method did not work, then there is a second, extended option:
- Remove those applications whose launch is critical for you
- Reinstall them (for example using the command mentioned earlier)
More information about removing and reinstalling pre-installed applications:.
Resetting the Windows Store Cache
Try resetting the Windows 10 app store cache. To do this, press the Win+R keys (the Win key is the one with the Windows logo), then enter wsreset.exe and press Enter.
Once completed, try running the applications again (if it doesn't work right away, try restarting your computer).
Checking the integrity of system files
IN command line running as administrator (you can run it through the menu using the Win+X keys), run the command sfc /scannow and, if it does not reveal any problems, then one more:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
It is possible (although unlikely) that problems with launching applications can be fixed using this method.
Additional ways to fix application launching
There are also additional options fix the problem if none of the above could help solve it:
- Switching the time zone and date to automatically detected or vice versa (there are precedents when this works).
- Enable Account Control UAC entries(if you turned it off before), see (if you do the reverse steps, it will turn on).
- Programs that disable tracking functions in Windows 10 can also affect the operation of applications (block access to the Internet, including in).
- In the task scheduler, go to the scheduler library in Microsoft - Windows - WS. Manually run both tasks in this section. After a couple of minutes, check the applications launch.
- Control Panel - Troubleshooting - View All Categories - Windows Store Apps. This will launch the automatic error correction tool.
- Check the services: AppX Deployment Service, Client License Service, Tile Data Model Server. They should not be disabled. The last two are performed automatically.
- Using a restore point (Control Panel - System Restore).
- Creating a new user and logging in under it (this does not solve the problem for the current user).
- Reset Windows 10 through settings - update and recovery - recovery (see).
I hope some of the things suggested will help resolve this issue. Windows problem 10. If not, let me know in the comments, they are also welcome additional features cope with error.
