  2. Erroneous symbols at the bottom left corner of desktop icons

    I'm running Windows 10 with the latest updates. A few days ago, the icons for objects on the desktop changed appearance. The icons are correct but
    all have a symbol at the bottom left corner:

    • Shortcuts show the correct shortcut symbol
    • All files erroneously show a shortcut symbol
    • Almost all folders erroneously show a shortcut symbol
    • Some folders erroneously show "X"

    The icons for files and folders (including the Desktop folder) displayed using File Explorer are all normal.

    I would appreciate any suggestions.

  3. I can't seem to be able to edit the tiles on the start menu with Windows 10?

    Hi,



    Sorry for the delay in response.



    • What exactly happens when you try to edit the tiles on the start menu?
    • Aren't you able to organize the tiles?


    If you have tried it on the Start Menu style, we would suggest you to check in the full screen style and check.



    To do so,



    • Right click on an empty space in the desktop screen and select Personalize.
    • Click Start and then move the slider to the right to turn on full screen and then try to edit the tiles and check
    Thank you.

    Desktop instead of tiles

    Is it possible for Windows10 mobile to display a desktop view, like Android and iPhone, instead of live tiles.

    These live tiles have been what is keeping me from trying a Windows mobile smartphone. Kind of a deal breaker.
