Windows 10: Tile What does 'Uninstall' really mean? Windows 10

Windows 10 Pro
What does a Tile's 'Uninstall' option really mean?
Uninstall the Photoshop Program from the Hard Drive, or Uninstall only the Tile and links to it?

Snowy Dune Launcher + PinMore

Creating a Tile Version2

is mango racking up ur bill too?

think you miss my point. what I am saying is that right now, only small number of apps out of the all apps/tiles in the screen need to display updates of some sort. but for the rest of the apps, they are just one big icon as you put it - useless and taking
up valuable screen space. now you can argue that I don't have enough apps that display the update. but honestly how much info can the small tile area contain? one still need to open the app to view the detail info. it really serves as a hint that the things
that you are interested in has update - the weather app you mentioned is one example, but really the only thing in the tile display interest me is the temperarture which does not need so much space to display, does it? let's take it up extreme. let's make
the entire screen as one big tile, does it make sense? no, then let's make half of the screen as one tile, does it make sense? no. what I am trying to get at is what's the right balance of these tile size. tile and icon are really no difference but the size.
if the app does not need to display any update, does it still make sense to make them a regular tile size? in my opinion, no. but just because the initial design concept is to use tile to display updates, then everything must be a tile on the screen. that's
why this kind of design put itself in the "damn if you do and damn if you don't" situation.

 

Live Tiles, Microsoft apps, third party apps, not working in Windows 10

I am really getting annoyed....with this operating system..

Two days ago I uninstalled and reinstalled and app and

the live tile worked. Today, the live tile doesn't run.

This has happened repeatedly. Please fix Windows 10.

 

Hello sadicus, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

"Uninstall" means to actually uninstall the Windows app from your account or uninstall the desktop app from the PC.

If its a program, selecting uninstall from the tile right click menu will open add remove programs, where you can uninstall that program. If its a Modern UI App, it will uninstall that App. Unpin removes the tile from the Start Screen.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm jumping into win10 from Win7 no in between. Learning the difference in naming conventions like: App vs Program. Would Adobe Photoshop CS6 be considered an App now?
I like the more visual look, Tiles and Live Tiles are fun. I notice are a few functions that are currently 'grey' (not accessible)
change glaring white text background to grey, only 5 images for background and no shuffle, etc.

 

Yeah, programs are considered desktop apps.

Apps from the Store, or modern apps, are called Windows apps now.

 

I always seem to struggle with the distinction between Apps and Programs. What to call them? They all look the same on the Start Screen. I like how brink stated it in his last post. Desktop Apps and Store Apps.
