Delete all the Tile*.jpg files and any *.dat files – you may have two.Ĩ. To do this, either open it and drag it down to the bottom of your screen about half way and hold it there until the icon flips around to show the Photos Tile Logo OR on the Start screen, type TASK MANAGER and open it and end task on Photos.Ĭ:\Users\ your_user_name\AppData\Local\Packages\FileManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalStateħ. Close the Photos App and make sure it is not running. On the Start Screen, if the Live Tile is On, turn it OFF.ĥ. If the Shuffle option is on, turn it offĤ.
Open the Photos App, select Charms, OptionsĢ.
I have tested this on both a Desktop and Surface RT running Windows 8.1. You still cannot pick and choose what is displayed, unfortunately. You can use the info below to change the images displayed on the Photos App Live Tile any time you wish to make a change. You have to wait 24 hours after the last tile refresh for new images to appear. This was an issue in the original Photos App in 8.0 and Microsoft did not fix this in 8.1. If you delete an image from your library, the Live Tile does not immediately sync and select a new picture to replace it.
