Tiles Not Working In Windows 8.1

Some people have reported issues caused by a third party security software. Do your tiles have little arrows in the lower corner?

If so, go to the Windows store and try downloading and reinstalling them once more. Also try temporarily disabling your third-party security software and see if that makes any difference in how your tiles work.

You can also try uninstalling and then reinstalling those apps that won’t function. I know, that doesn’t sound like fun. But try it with one app to see if it works. Search for Uninstall apps and select it.

Select an app from the list.

Choose uninstall.

Then go to the Windows App store and try reinstalling the app. Do this with one app and see if it works before uninstalling multiple apps.

If that doesn’t work, there may be a problem with your user account in Windows. Go to the Search Charm and type in “create an account.”

Select the Create Account icon.

You’ll see the option to Activate a guest account.

Hopefully, one of these solutions helps.

Tagged Facebook Photos Not Showing Up – Can I Fix?

when you tag someone in a photo, you’d like it to post on their News Feed or Timeline. There’s not really anything you can do about that. Some Facebook users choose to be notified when they are tagged in photos and others do not. 

Some have privacy settings that don’t allow you to tag them without their approval, while others won’t permit anyone to tag them at all. A user can choose whether or not they want tagged photos to appear in their News Feed or on their Timeline for others to see. 



If you want to make sure someone sees certain photos, you could always message them the link or share the photos with them. When you click the “Share” option on a photo, you have the choice of sharing the photo on a friend’s Timeline or in a private message to that friend. If your friend doesn’t permit others to post on his or her timeline, a private message is the best way to make sure he or she sees the picture.

Dress Up Your Yahoo Inbox

One of the features of Yahoo! Mail’s Inbox re-design makes it a little easier to add themes. People who complain about the plainness of Outlook.com, should really enjoy having a dressed-up inbox with just a couple of clicks. Here’s how it works:

Open your Yahoo! inbox and look down in the right lower corner.

At the very bottom, you’ll see this very small little symbol that looks a bit like a mountain with the moon over it if you look very closely. It is TINY.

When you roll your cursor over it, you’ll see options like these for choosing inbox themes.

You can select from a range of simple color combos or photographs by using the arrow to scroll through. You have a choice of everything from a puppy to patterns to landscape shots.

You simply click on the theme and click back to the inbox and it’s set. Here’s an example of a solid color.

Here’s a puppy. Awwwww….

This is a super-simple way to change up your inbox.
