Windows 10: Cannot move start menu tiles

I cannot move/rearrange start menu tiles. when I click to select a tile, it immediately opens the application and closes the menu. I am running Win 10 v1703

Not showing Start tiles in Windows 10 Home

Thank you.

Now the 'Show more tiles' is available, but I still cannot move around or add tiles in the start menu.

Is there something I can do for it?

friends I have a problem on my windows 10 pc plz help! to solve it

I cannot change specific settings from start menu.

I cannot change the location of tiles, cannot add or remove tiles, cannot resize them, can't move them around.

These are settings which I can't change from settings menu in start.

1. Show more tiles option in Settings->Personalization->Start is turned gray i.e. can't be changed.

2. This is written on the top of the page. "Some settings are managed by your organization".

Only setting that i can access is to turn a live tile off by right click on that live tile. Right-click->more->turn live tile off. Nothing else available.

To move the tiles you need to click-and-drag them. That is, click and hold down the button on a tile then drag it to where you want. More in this tutorial...

Group App Tiles on Start in Windows 10

 

I know how to do that. What I am saying is that it isn't working. The very instant I click on a tile the start menu closes and the application is opened. there is no opportunity to drag.

 

Have you tried a Restart?

 

That's a very good suggestion, it often resets 'oddities' that have crept into the system. It has to be a Restart though, Shut Down then turning back on doesn't do a full restart from cold if Fast Start up is enabled.

 

Every morning. it's been like this for a week.

 

Hmm... so the app launches before you even release he button?

This seems unlikely to cause this, but under accessibility options for windows, do you have your desktop set up to launch programs with a single click rather than double-click?

Or maybe you have some odd mouse/pointing-device driver setting that treats clicks differently than normal. Some tablets input devices do this if you set them up this way. Or the drivers just break themselves. Even if you didn't change setting, sometimes windows magic happens to change them.

Shots in the dark, I know...

 

good thought on the single click, but that's not it. i have it set to double click. STILL NEED HELP ON THIS

 

It's been a month since I posted this and I finally figured it out. The culprit was my wireless mouse. I noticed that sometimes if I hit the mouse button really hard and fast I could move the times. But it was intermittent. That led me to thinking that a delay caused by wireless transmission could be the problem. I switched to a wired mouse and moving tiles worked as expected. Thanks to all who offered advice
