The Live Tile feature for all of the apps that are pre-loaded in Windows 10 is turned on or enabled by default but in case you have installed a new modern app which you want to turn the Live Tile feature for then what you need to do is locate its tile on the right-hand portion of the Start Menu and once you find it, simply right-click on it and on the right-click menu that appears, simply click on “Turn live tile on” as highlighted on the screenshot below. A Live Tile looks like the one shown below.

Shortcuts have been around for a very long time and were mostly found on the Desktop or pinned on other locations such as the Taskbaror even on the Start Menu but in Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and even in the new Windows 10 operating systems, there are some other items found in it which were made available after the modern Metro environment was combined with the traditional Desktop platform. While most of us are already familiar with what shortcuts are, there might still be others who are not familiar with its modern counterpart which are called “Tiles”. We all want the tiles and shortcuts that appear on Windows 10’s Start Menu to be organized and arranged well in order to make searching for certain items a lot easier.
