    Live tiles are supported mainly by Microsoft Store apps and some third-party apps that have set up tile updates. Some apps automatically update their live tile content, while others need to be configured in their settings.

    Hello! Creating live tiles for programs in Windows 10 is a straightforward process. Live tiles are dynamic tiles on the Start menu that can display real-time information, such as weather, news, or app updates.

    If you want to create custom live tiles for programs or files that don't support them natively, it involves more advanced methods like creating custom shortcuts with specific properties, but this can be complex and may require third-party tools or scripting.
