Windows 10: Dimmed tiles in menu

I often get tiles in my "Start Menu" dimming with a white bar underneath them. Like so two tiles dimmed here:




I can only be rid of them by creating a new tile and deleting the affected one. What do they mean?

:)

 

how do i reset the start menu in windows 10 to not show tiles?

A few days ago, my friends Win10 computer stopped showing his desktop and now only shows the tiles (he wants to see the default list of programs, not any tiles).

Clicking on the Windows key or "start menu" doesn't change anything. I stepped him through some online suggestions (including Settings/Start/Use-start-full-screen and making sure Settings/Table-mode was not engaged) but they don't work.

I've also compared his settings (Start/Use-start-full... and Table-mode) to my Win10 machine and they are the same.

Assistance/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

MSN Travel/News Apps Don't Open- Tiles Dimmed

Occasionally my News or Travel apps stop working (WP 8.1). The Start Screen tile dims and nothing happens when I tap that or the one in the app list. If I press and hold the app list tile, the only option available is uninstall.

The only resolution seems to be uninstall/reinstall. A restart doesn't help.

Has anyone else seen this, or have a cause?
