Windows 10: Live tiles not so live

If I reboot my computer everyday, the live tiles work mostly. But, I don't reboot everyday so live tiles, are not only not live, but some don't work at all. Case in point: I never get an email notification in the tile. (I'm assuming I should); when I click on weather a blank browser flashes then closes. If I click on weather again, the weather opens in the browser. The only time it opens in a tile is if I reboot. That only lasts for the day.

These are all minor annoyances but it would be nice if I could get them fixed. Anyone know how to fix this?

Also, I find OneDrive to be brain dead. I use KeePass. If I send up an encrypted key file from my computer to the phone, OneDrive has no idea what it is and tells me no app is found. In dropbox, I just click on it in the phone and it updates Keepass on the phone. Needless to say, I ditched this program.

BTW, I like W10 and am glad I upgraded.

Live Tiles, some not so live...

I dont have the main app for Nokia music on my start screen, instead i have pinned the created playlist on there, this changes with pictures of artists.



Having all 4 slots of my available offline music on there brightens up my start screen no problem!

 

Live Tiles, some not so live...

The Nokia music tile does nothing.. This is what i'm talking about.. Nokia could be doing so much better with their built in apps.. And Nokia themselves say that they have a huge amount of say in the UX and can customise as much as they wish.



In fact it says something, doesn't it, that in this way the native music app is actually better ??? Poor effort by Nokia, that's all i'm saying .. particularly when Nokia's music app is so nice, albeit slightly convoluted...

 

Hi if you are using the mail app on windows 10 then it should let you know you have mail in More Actions
I have yahoo, gmail, and outlook all on the mail app.
That is where I am informed.
On one drive I don't use it much so cant help you on that.
Also glad you like W10
I do as well would not go back to any other windows at all.

 

Suggestion :

Right click at Start > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, type ....
Powershell
> press Enter
At the flashing prompt, copy and paste this .......

Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}

>press Enter

See if that fixes your problem.

 

This instantly fixed the weather tile for the moment but still don't get email alerts.

 

I don't use that Mail app. I have no use for it.
Sorry.

 

Have your mail alerts ever worked properly?

There are some of us that have had problems with them since the start, waiting on a magical update to fix them *Smile

Leaving mail constantly open usually makes it more reliable

 

It's working now. Guess it needed a few moments to reset. Thanks for all the help!

 

You are welcome.

 

Last night MS updated and rebooted my computer. None of the live tiles work again. Fooey.

 

Until you can find a permanent solution, please run the suggestion I gave you again.
See if that will fix it...... for now.

 

I found going to Settings and under Apps and Features, there an option to click your item and select Advanced Options link. Then reset the app. Open the app and it'll have you reconfigure but tiles work.

 

[/quote] hi, can I ask you what exactly this command does, if you please? thanks...
