RIP: Windows 10 live tiles reportedly getting killed by Microsoft

Windows 10 Live Tiles are going the way of Windows Phone

Good riddance I say

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I’m happier with them gone. Don’t get much out of them, prefer the classic OS look/feel

 

[yet_another_alt]

I removed all of them anyway. Who even spends time looking at the start menu?

 

[Glip_Glop]

“Well....Bye”

 

[JBat]

Good

 

[Husky]

Very smart. The best way to improve Windows 10 is to make it more like the superior OS, Windows 7.

 

[Insane Metal]

Never liked it.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Thor 2: TDW is running surprisingly close race with No.

 

[V2Tommy]

I never expected Windows 8 + Classic Shell to be the definitive Windows UI and yet, here we are.

 

[Kenpachii]

It's shit. strip as much as they can. All useless garbage.

 

[Gargus]

I killed them within about 30 minutes of when I first installed windows 10.

Only windows 10 feature I use is the start menu. I like the click of one button I have programs, power, and shortcut icons I can add to the right of the box. Everything else I changed back to a standard windows looking desktop.

 

[dispensergoinup]

Nope, I don't. Every new install of WIn10 I perform will also come with Classic Shell.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Good.

 

[neobiz]

there's a clippy joke in here somewhere

 

[Ikutachi]

Classic Shell saved me.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Good, fuck off. Stop pestering me with internet derived shite.

 

[godhandiscen]

Good riddance. The tile design pattern held back the Xbox One UI a whole fucking generation. I hate those stupid tiles.

 

[Mistake]

One biggest pain in the ass I learned recently is how Microsoft actually demands companies to have them put driver settings in their store. That way it’s not bundled with the driver and just makes more problems. The MS store needs to die along with it. The whole team that designed 10 should be fired

 

[M1chl]

Who the fuck use them anyway?

 

[emmerrei]

Next step, remove completly all that useless ecosystem called UWP. Light up the OS, and less trash to looking at (for them at Microsoft to manage and give support. The Windows Store, from the 90' it's called web browser. If someone was using things like "Weather" or "News" we had them too before, they were called Widgets.

 

[Alx]

Even if I liked the live tiles on mobile, I don't use them that much on PC (even if I still prefer the start screen to the menu). There's no info I need to be displayed live there (and I don't get to see the tiles that often anyway).

 

[poppabk]

Don't hate them but also never use them so would be fine with them gone.

 

[pr0cs]

On the phone os version you could argue that they had purpose since they were always front facing.
On the pc though they make no sense and on the Xbox they don't need MORE things to slow the OS down.

 

[888]

I liked the tiles. Had all my game stuff organized with them.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Any chance MS shifts to an OS that resembles somethIng traditional like Windows 7?

Windows 10 is terrible.

Hey, let’s change it up so we got rainbow boxes everywhere! And like every OS update let’s change where various settings and options are for sake of change!

 

[Thabass]

Didn't hate them, but the were largely useless for me. Probably better that they're gone.

 

[Ovek]

Utterly pointless bullshit that Microsoft has tried and failed to shove down everyone’s throat since Windows 8.

 

[GHG]

Such an unnecessary addition.

Nobody asked for them.

 

[Kadayi]

Honestly don't think I've ever used them.

Start menu>Llookup app> Drag link to task bar> Done.

As an aside does anyone ever use Cortana? Because I sure as shit don't

 

[bitbydeath]

They should outsource their OS to Apple.

 

[Diddy X]

Say whatever you want, Vista looked the best, then 7, give us the option to switch UI

 

[Pejo]

The "pictures" live tile got me in trouble before. Good riddance.
