Manage the tile-based slide show in Windows 8's Photo app

May 30, 2013

Walter Bott asked how he could better control Windows 8's built-in Photo app--the one that usually presents a small slide show in its Start page tile. I've discussed this app briefly before, in How to better control Windows 8 slide shows. But this time around, I want to touch on two issues I didn't cover back then: How to turn on and off the little, tile-based slideshow on the Start screen, and how to control what pictures turn up on that slideshow, and in the Photo app in general. [Email your tech questions to answer@pcworld.com or post them on the PCW Answer Line forum.] First, you don’t have to run the Start page slideshow. To turn it on or off, right-click the tile (or press and hold if you're using a touchscreen). Some options will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click or tap Turn live tile off. If you change your mind, you can always click Turn live tile on. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
