It is no secret to anyone that the famous live tiles have not succeeded, being a component inherited from Windows 8 and that at that time they have not been accepted by users, much less with the death of Windows Mobile.
Currently there are many reasons to think that live tiles are going out, and according to Windows Latest the death would be scheduled for some time between 2020 or 2021. Although we do not know exactly if Microsoft plans to do this or when, there are plenty of indicators that the tiles Windows 10 have no future.
Since October 2019 we know that Windows 10X is a reality. This is a special version of Windows 10 designed for dual-screen devices that have a different start menu, one with icons.
Before that information was revealed to the world, images of a Windows 10 that said goodbye to live tiles had already been leaked. Yes, that Windows 10X is another version of Windows, but those images seemed to come from the Insider versions of Windows 10 that we all currently use, and we believed it was an alleged "Windows Lite".
The live tiles only made some sense in Windows Mobile, just because they were devices of this type, on the desktop they have always been as spare.
The new icons
Microsoft has been a huge redesign not only for Windows 10 icons, but for the rest of its products. Even the Windows logo received its degraded Fluent Design style.
If the design of Windows 10 has a minimal opportunity to begin to unify, saying goodbye to the tiles would be a huge step forward.
Those pictures and those corners that have the giant vadosas are something that also goes out, we know that Windows 10 has been shaping the idea of returning to the rounded edges.
When was the last time you heard about something new in live tiles? Probably years ago. The tiles are supposed to be dynamic tables showing relevant information such as what apps that use them do but the usefulness of this is minimal and almost nobody takes advantage of it.
Microsoft has long put aside the development of live tiles because it has not been updated at all for a long time. The start menu has been improved in some aspects, such as lateral access to documents and images, for example, access in the form of icons.
It is that among those updates even the possibility of resizing the menu and getting rid of the tiles if we want to, leaving only the list of applications was added. It is a current Windows 10 feature.
