How to Turn Live Tiles Off in Windows 10 Start Menu

====================================================

Windows 10's upcoming design has been subject to numerous leaks and speculations. Recently, a new leak surfaced claiming that live tiles would be phased out entirely from the operating system's start menu.

For those unfamiliar with this feature, live tiles are dynamic icons on your home screen (or start menu) in Windows 10 that display real-time information or offer quick access to frequently used apps and features without requiring you to manually open them. They typically appear as small squares or rectangles that can change their appearance based on new notifications or updates.

However, before we dive into turning these off if you don't want them anymore, let's first clarify whether this leak is accurate since Microsoft hasn't officially confirmed anything yet about removing live tiles completely from Windows 10 at all times going forward - so proceed with caution!

That said; assuming the information in this post still holds true for now (which seems likely given how often we hear rumors like these), here are some step-by-step instructions on how to disable them if you'd rather not see them cluttering up your Start menu:

### Step 1: Open Settings App

To begin with, press the Windows + I keys simultaneously on your keyboard. This should launch the 'Settings' app directly.

Alternatively, if you're having trouble finding it using this method or prefer a more traditional approach instead; simply click the lower-left corner of your screen once and then select 'Settings' from the context menu that appears next:

### Step 2: Go To Personalization Section

Once inside the 'Settings' app, navigate down through its various categories until you reach the one labeled as follows:

```

Personalize

```

Clicking on this option will take you into another sub-menu:

### Step:3 Turn Off Live Tiles

In here, scroll all the way down once again until you come across an entry called 'Start':

And finally, under that there should be a toggle switch labeled as follows:

```

Show more tiles

```

Toggle this switch OFF to turn off live tiles altogether:

By following these simple steps, you can easily remove the clutter caused by live tiles from your Start menu and opt for a cleaner look instead. Remember that while Microsoft hasn't officially confirmed any changes at this point in time regarding their plans for future versions of Windows; always keep an eye out on official sources like MSDN or MS Press blogs etc., since they're usually first to break news about upcoming features & feature removals alike!
