The field in my XML contains the full article HTML (just the article, no sidebars, headers, etc of course), wrapped in a tag, in case you're wondering. Windows 8 prepare site for pinning has lots of good information and links to documentation, which I've gone through, but I can't find any more information about how the images should be "included" in the feed in order for them to be pulled in as backgrounds. Several weeks have now passed, lots of new articles posted, and yet still the live tile continues to cycle through the articles just showing text.
I added some padding characters to the GUIDs so that it would see the content as "new", but the live tile continued showing four articles with just text and a colored background, and the single article with the same background image. I really liked the look of using images instead of a solid color and plain text, so since all my articles have a banner image associated with them in our CMS (though not necessarily actually in the content), I updated the RSS feed to include an tag at the top of the content () embedding the banner right at the top of the content. That article mentions, "as long as your RSS feed has images in it, the tile will rotate through your most recent five articles with images".

All of those have died at some point, why worry the next update will be next week. I only have basically 4 Mail ones, and Weather. The first time I went through and it's documentation and provided the RSS feed, I noticed with some surprise that one of the articles in the RSS feed (the only one which had images in the content) actually used one of the images as a background for the live tile (when that article was displayed), with smaller text at the bottom of the tile, over a translucent dark background.Ĭheck the last image at for an example. That has been going on for over 4 years on mine, various Live Tiles do not work occasionally, thru Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

Even the weather tile, when I open it, sure enough all of my location info, zip code and local weather is all there, but the tile itself, no matter what size I change it to, no matter how many times I "turn live tile on/off" it still just sits there blank, not moving.Įdit: there seems to be more than the few of us with this problem: answers.microsoftDOTcom/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-start/live-tiles-not-working-windows-10/5a8e2ced-06a6-4b98-bfd4-da4896c9b6f9 I even tried installing 3rd party apps from Microsoft Store, such as Flipboard and still none of the tiles will show any information. I wonder if one of those settings has something to do with the live tile app permissions? Or perhaps because I installed an antivirus app that's incompatible or conflicts with live tiles? Has anyone else experienced that? You are working with concentration on your PC and suddenly pop up or update notification appears in between, obviously you get disturbed and try to stop. The only thing I can possibly think of: On the PC that they're working correctly, I may not have disabled just about all of the privacy invasive settings as I did on my main PC. From the pop-up menu, hover your mouse over the Resize option and select a new size from small, medium, large, or wide.

At the Windows 10 tiled screen, right-click on a tile. This has been very a very irritating experience and no information seems to be available at all as to why. Just like in Windows 8 and 8.1, you can resize specific tiles in Windows 10 to make them larger or smaller. Live tiles are working on one pc but not my main one.

I did a clean 8.1 pro install on 2 pcs then upgraded both to W10 same build numbers you mentioned.
