Windows 10: Store Live Tile Not Working

I think Mail's tile shows the last email notification even if it has been read.

Store eventually works but it takes like 5-10mins before it will display anything.

Weather started working after I allowed it to use my location.

Anyway, Live Tiles are really flaky it seems.
Reminds me of icons in Devices and Printers in Win7. Something that was never fixed and only ever worked when it wanted to.

 

Have to wonder how it works, are you sure the problem is not the actual start menu file?

You can test this theory with:

Create a new user account, look at the start menu to make sure the tiles look right, then logout.
Login back to the admin account, run task manager, go to services tab and stop the tiledatamodelsvc service, it might take several tries as the service will restart and the PID is the same as StateRepository as you will notice they will either be stopped or running at the same time when you stop the tiledatamodelsvc.

Make a backup of the folder below first before you delete...

What you want to do is then delete all the files in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer where <username> is the user's Start Menu that needs fixing.

Then you just copy C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\vedatamodel.edb and put it in the above folder. The <username> here is the newly created account you just logged out of. After this, just click on the start menu as it will restart the service you just stopped earlier.
