W10 Live tiles in my Surface Pro 3 not working

I got this disturbing problem.
MY LIVE TILES specifically the Mail, Flipboard and Photos app doesn't work.
though Mail works from time to time

> YES the option of live tiles is ON
> YES they are updated in the store
> YES I opened them and used them
> YES I did a clean refresh/reformat after upgrading from 8.1 to 10

though my desktop and laptop works nicely

Same problem here. Mainly the outlook mail app not updating the tiles.

file feedback - it's (yet another) bug - you can get some of them back restarting explorer, but best to just reboot - but please please please upvote or leave feedback so they fix this s..

Re: W10 Live tiles in my Surface Pro 3 not working

I have found a solution that works FOR ME. I don't have a sp3, but (Dell Venue 8 pro), but it may be a common bug. Because (unlike you lucky guys who can afford a sp3) the screen is small, I upped the scaling to 150% instead of the default 125%. THAT'S when the live tiles stop working. (It also messes up the Amazon Kindle "modern" app, too, BTW). This is still happening, even on the latest build 10565. This problem *did not* happen on 8.1, so, there's another problem that Microsoft can ignore. It sucks, because I like win10 otherwise. But boy, everything is still small at 125%.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

This issue has been driving me nuts. My Bing Weather app Live Tile stopped working after one of the updates. A few of the others were hit and miss, working some days and not on other days.

I changed it from 100% to 125%, and now the Weather Live Tile is working as it should. The others seems to be working as well. .

I remember setting it at 125% at the time I upgraded from 8.1 to 10. I'm guessing that one of the updates changed the setting to 100%.

UPDATE: I spoke too soon. It is now the following day, and the Weather app live tile has stopped updating.
