    Windows 10 Start Menu Pinned Tiles Location?


    I have a tile that is blank which I would like to change. In the latest win10 build where are these pinned tiles located? Do they work just like old style shortcuts, could I just change the picture of the icon?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Start Menu Pinned Tiles Location?

    Hi

    I've been searching for a while and i can't find where the pinned tiles
    in Start menu are located.

    All I can find is a list of folders that doesn't have the pinned tiles:

    This doesn't have what I need:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

    This doesn't exists at all:

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\Database

    Is there any location or registry value/key where I can find the PINNED TILES in Start Menu?

    I read somewhere that there is a database... does anyone know where is it located?

    Thanks in advanced

    Windows 10 Start Menu Pinned Tiles Location?

    Where are the start menu pinned tiles located in Windows 10? Example: I pin Weather, Notepad, and Calculator to the start menu. Where does this data get written? In Windows 7 it was under Program Data>Microsoft>Windows>Start Menu. It appears to have moved
    in Windows 10. Is it a folder I just haven't been able to find, or is it a registry key now?

    Thanks

    -Jim

    Windows 10 Start Menu Pinned Tiles Location?

    Hello !

    Unfortunately, there's no proprer location for pinned tiles in Windows 10 filesystem. Pinned tiles are built into WIndows Registry Editor. Eveything is regulated by Windows, the user cannot do something.

    Sorry for the inconvenience Windows 10 Start Menu Pinned Tiles Location? :(
