The Windows
Start screen displays a list of default and custom Live Tiles, which
act as a shortcut to Control Panel, Windows Explorer, Weather application,
RSS, Windows Store, Internet Explorer, and other installed applications.
Live Tiles on your Start screen change and update in real time
so you can get real-time updates about news or sports, check what
your friends are up to, and get the latest weather forecast.
The tile-based user interface gives you direct access to your most
recently used applications, Emails, photos, music, videos, contacts,
Facebook & Twitter updates, and frequently viewed websites. You
can pin your favorite or frequently used applications as Live Tiles
to customize the Start screen.
You also can personalize the
Start screen by setting your favorite picture as a wallpaper.
- NOTE: Live
Tiles can be added or removed by using Pin
or Unpin
options.
