    Apps that work on the homescreen?

    Am I right in thinking that not all apps work on the homescreen? I've downloaded a few and they've not all shown as an option for adding to the homescreen. Is there a list of apps that do work on the homescreen somewhere? I'm looking for a twitter app
    for the homescreen mainly, one that works a bit like the facebook one.... ideas?

    changing Homescreen options

    I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:

    Do the following to change it:

    Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:

    A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:

    Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:

    Click Stop protecting:

    Confirm:

    That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.
