How to Turn Live Tiles On or Off for Apps on Start in Windows 10
A tile is a modern app’s representation on the Start screen in Windows 10, and can be either static or live.
Windows 10 includes a new 3D animation for live tiles, and allows you to turn live tiles on or off for your apps pinned to Start.
A static tile displays the default content, which is generally just a full-tile logo image for the app.
Live tiles can show updates from your friends, new email, app notifications, and the next appointment on your calendar at a glance, even without opening an app. And because everyone who uses the PC can sign in with their own Microsoft account, each person can personalize their own tiles, colors, and backgrounds.
