Early this year, we posted on a rumour that Windows Lite may come without support for Microsoft’s Live Tile system. Later, we reported another evidence indicating that Live Tiles may soon disappear on Windows 10 Start Menu. Today, the death of Live Tiles was almost confirmed, thanks to the new internal build which Microsoft released accidentally.

This new Windows 10 build 18947 comes with a new Start Menu design without Live Tiles. The Start Menu design may not be final, but one thing is clear, Live Tiles are going away! I think most general consumers will not miss Live Tiles as most of the Windows 10 apps didn’t support it.
