    Desktop Showing Live Tiles Rather Than Desktop Icons


    For some reason all of a sudden my computer is showing the Windows "Live Tiles" rather than the desktop icons that had been showing. How do I get things back to the way it was?

    Hello Girevik, :)

    It sounds like you may have tablet mode turned on. If so, turning off tablet mode should allow you to see your desktop again.
