Windows 8.1 Start Screen
The Windows 8.1 Start screen displays a list of default and custom Live Tiles,
which act as shortcuts to Mail, Windows Explorer, Weather app, Calendar,
Windows Store, Internet Explorer, and other installed apps. Live Tiles on your
Start screen change and update in real time to show news and sports updates,
weather updates, social-networking feeds, etc.
The tile-based user interface gives you direct access to your most recently
used apps, emails, photos, music, videos, contacts, updates from social-
networking sites, and frequently viewed websites. You can pin your favorite
apps as tiles to customize the Start screen.
You also can personalize the Start screen by setting your favorite picture as
the wallpaper.
Note: Live Tiles can be added or removed by using Pin to taskbar , Pin to Start
or Unpin from Start options.
