Windows 10: windows 10 pro , how to turn off tile menu and block people from installing apps

Hi,


For the company computers, I need be able to setup a start menu for all users. I would like to create a short menu (I mean tiles) and all users should get the same menu. If I can't do this , I have to turn off the tiles menu.


another problem is I reilized when I uninstall apps from windows 10 pro , when somebody else log in and they are able to see the bundle apps and even able to install them again. How do I block them (users) from installing apps?


thanks in advance.

:)

 

Windows 10 installing progs

It's Microsoft pushing Apps from their Windows Store whether you want them or not. Even on a clean install you will have pending installation of Apps in the Tiles section (A great App awaits) when you click on the Start Menu. Same for me on Windows 10 Professional, ended up with Twitter, Facebook, Candy Crush, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, and some others I'm forgetting the name of. Facebook is a new one.

 

Windows 10 Start Menu all apps / tiles missing


So I woke my computer up from sleep last night and this is what I was welcomed with:




All of a sudden my start menu had no apps listed and no live tiles to speak of. So I did my googleing and I found this microsoft answer page: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-b988cd6da49a

I tried every step in their. After all said and done, I got installed programs to show up, but the live tiles that usually show to the right did not come back. I was ok with that, thinking I would work on this today and find a solution to that problem.

I just woke up the computer again from sleep and the start menu is blank AGAIN. Before this started happening last night, I have not installed any new software nor has windows ran any updates.

I'm at a loss. I tried system recovery and to roll back to a few days prior, but I keep getting an error after recovery is attempted stating that windows recovery wasn't able to fully complete due to a certain file (i can retry recovery and post picture of error if needed).

So any suggestions on whats my next step? I thought maybe I had a malware issue, but II have avast and malware antibytes installed and they showed no hits when the scans where run.

Any suggestions or guidance is greatly appreciated. Hope you all have a Great Turkey Day!

PS, I have to work today from 4pm to 6am, so If I do not reply right away I apologize.

 

windows 10 start menu apps tiles dont work

tiles don't work. already tried:

I suggest you to run Windows Store Apps troubleshooter and check if it fixes the issues.
Follow these steps to run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter:

• Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
• Click on Control panel.
• Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Control panel search box.
  
• Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all.
  
• Click on Windows Store Apps troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.

and
To get these apps working again, you’ll need to follow these steps:

• 
  Open powershell as administrator
  
• 
  Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
  

3. Re-install the Mail, People and Calendar apps from the Store (green tile).

troubleshooter said there is no problem and the power shell gave me some error code.
