    How many images are selected and what determines the selection?
    Can I select which folders, Photos live tile chooses from?

    I moved all of the images out of the default Pictures folder to the desktop and Photo Live Tile is still cycling the same images. *Sad

    :)

    Mail Live Tile Not always updating

    So the mail live tile is not always updating. There have been countless of times where there's no update on the live tile; however, when I go into the mail application, there is a new unread email. Not sure how the mail or calendar live tiles update; however,
    if there was some user control on setting up how live tiles update and show their content, this would be very helpful. I am absolutely disappointed on the live tile functionality of the Microsoft products (although the fact that there is zero live tile functionality
    in facebook and Instagram is a very poor showing as well).

    How am I expected to get a solid snap shot of my day and what's going on in my life if the mail live tiles don't show the latest couple of emails and the calendar live tile doesn't show my next appointment and the news live tile only shows one major headline
    and isn't able to be customized to what I want to see. my windows 8 phone does a better job of showing me what's going on than my computer... and where is the functionality of pinning multiple parts of an application to the start page that Microsoft advertised
    so much (it only exists in the mail application and the live tile mail applications doesn't work)

    anyone else having update problems with their live tiles or know how to fix this? I am disappointed that my phone works better than my computer...

    Live tiles are currently 'buggy' in Windows 10, expect update this year. (from MS tech support conversation)
