Windows 10 how to force app tiles to populate?

joe pineapples · 17 Mar 2018 at 11:23

Just done a fresh install and a lot of the app tiles have still not been filled. I guess they would over time (according to the help screen), but wondered if there's a way to force Windows to download whatever it needs to and populate them now?.

thanks.

Logging off (not just shutting down) and back in again on the user account sometimes does it.

There is also this possible solution https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-live-tiles-not-updating-windows10/

From a quick browse of the Windows 10 discussion group it seems MS doesn't have a proper solution to this.

Thanks. Just tried the logging out and back in which didn't do anything. I'll look at that possible fix next though they're just not showing at the minute rather than being stuck, but will still try it I guess.

Got fed up with it so just unpinned the blank tiles and manually added the ones I wanted.
