HeartMan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Anyone know the trick for getting Live Tiles to be "Live" again. For months two of my Live Tiles (Sports and Weather) just sit there and never update. Anyone know the secret? This seems to be a fairly prevalent problem across the web and I tried all the solutions but to no avail. Thanks, HeartMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might help us avoid redundant suggestions if you list what you've already tried. For starters, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps using Powershell commands (get-appxpackage *packagename* | remove-appxpackage). I suspect that a new user profile (new profile/user, unlink old account from MS, link new account to MS, migrate data from old profile, delete old profile) may also help with app issues but not an easy or quick process.

Anibal P Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Undo any "tweaks" or changes you may have done to Windows, they tend to break more things than any potential "fix" it will not really provide Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pretty much tried everything I could find on the web, i.e., uninstalling/reinstalling Store (software marketplace, not "data store") and probably a half dozen other things from Microsoft MVP's and other users. Nothing has worked. I have 4 Win 10 installations and this is only a problem on one and of course it's my main PC. I was hoping that someone had a "simple fix". I have everything backed up so rather that creating or deleting users I'll just to a clean install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Most of my built-in W10 tiles have stopped working, as I have d/l Updates. Calculator, calendar, Photos, News, etc. 1 tile disappeared all together -- I forgot which one by now. I tried an individual reset and reinstalling from the Windows Store. Error 0X80070005 came up. Researching Microsoft did not help. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-update-error-0x80070005-need-a-fix-click/e4cb8700-f215-4f1a-8bd4-6457ac619c19 I suspect that only a Reset will fix the tiles.

HeartMan Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Anibal, I haven't done any tweaks, it's a plain vanilla install... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartMan Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Well, what do you know! I just upgraded to 16296.rs3_release.1709-1503 and Live Tiles are fixed! After the update I noticed that Weather was working so I unistalled/reinstalled the other broken ones and they're working. Looks like MS finally got it figured out. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
