Live Tiles will not have a presence in the future Windows 10: with the arrival of the 20H2 branch they will be history

Live Tiles is one of the best-known features of the latest versions of Windows. The Tiles arrived with Windows 8 and are small squares that make up a very dynamic home screen showing in bright colors the necessary information to show what happens in our installed applications .

The Tiles are still present in Windows 10, although we now know that their hours may be counted. Microsoft is working on a redesign of the Start menu" in Windows 10 Live Tiles will have no place in it.

For some Tiles are basic functionality; In addition to showing the basic information of each application, the home screen can let us anchor in useful folders and shortcuts to some web pages, and do it natively. But it seems that they have no place in the future of Windows 10.

Live Tiles is a function that hasn't finished succeeding among users. I don't know many people who have taken advantage of this functionality and the lack of success they seem to have may be Microsoft's excuse to kill them off.

A year ago we saw ourselves considering this possibility and we even talked about it. A rumor that now comes true, as it has been confirmed that the Live Tiles will be replaced and replaced by static icons, a change that will arrive with the 20H2 branch of Windows 10 , which should arrive there by autumn 2020.

From Windows Latest they claim that Microsoft's plans for Windows 10 do not take into account the presence of Live Tiles and it is more than likely let the design drink from the waters of the Start menu that Windows 10X will wear.

The problem with Live Tiles is that they could be used mainly on mobile devices The death of Windows for smartphones relieved them only for the use on PC and in this ecosystem did not work so well, which has caused its little use and therefore Microsoft's lack of interest in maintaining them.

We're seeing how Microsoft is taking inspiration from Windows 10X to develop improvements that come to Windows 10. We have seen, for example, new colorful icons, wallpapers or a new taskbar that are already scheduled to arrive in Windows 10.
