Windows 10: Chaseable Tile Support Begins Showing Up in Windows 10 In-Box Apps

Brink · Nov 21, 2016

A new Windows Store app platform feature called Chaseable Tiles has started appearing in some in-box Windows 10 apps.

That’s a mouthful, I know. Here’s what’s happening.

At its Build 2016 developer conference back in April, Microsoft announced a new Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app feature called Chaseable Tiles that would blend notification capabilities with the live display on app tiles in Start on Windows 10. That is, to date, apps have been able to display notifications on the Windows 10 desktop that, when clicked, navigate the user to a specific bit of content inside the app instead of just the app’s default display. So, for example, when you get a new email notification and select it, the Mail app will launch and display that email, not your inbox.

But live tiles haven’t worked that way. Yes, apps could display specific content on a rotating/live basis, but when you selected the app tile, the app’s default view would appear. So in the case of that Mail app, if you clicked its tile when it was displaying the header for a particular email message, the Mail app would appear, but display its default (inbox) view. Not the message.

That’s changing.

As Microsoft explained to developers at the time, this capability should not—and will not—be added to all apps. Indeed, the Mail example I used above was illustrative, and when you select the Mail tile in Start, you will always navigate to the default (or current, if the app is already running) view...

No tile for my pop3 account - where is it?

You should have a program called Outlook Mail. Click on the app and the email application begins.

Open the Outlook mail application .. Tap on the Hamburger icon at Top left. Long press on the account and select Pin to start.

Just a reminder, if you want you can move all of them onto each other so that it remains as one tile but tapping on the tile then opens to a larger box with each showing.

camera TILE

SO.. " WINDOWS CAMERA " is installed !!!! OK Checked it out on Windows Store App site....Clicked OPEN & it works !!!! Once opened program , was able to place " CAMERA" icon on TASKBAR - OK....

HOWEVER, the CAMERA does not show up anywhere under the " ALL APPS " listing or as a " TILE " in the Start Up Icons Tiles.....

If I " unpin from Taskbar " , I have to return to the Windows App Store and Click on the OPEN box to start all over again...
