This turned out to be the problem for me - old, favourite snaps of my daughter when she was tiny - trouble is, so were the JPGs, check out that VGA resolution! being taken in 2003 or so, they're only VGA resolution. I'd chosen some old photos of my daughter when she was young as favourites and. This could potentially be a corrupt file or two (especially if stored on microSD), but the solution for me was even simpler. In my case, 'Recent Photos' worked fine in the Photos live tile, giving me a clue that it was the choice of favourites that was the issue. This is something of a 'hopeful' measure and not related to my Photos issue here, but I've included it because it's always worth a try when trying to 'fix' a misbehaving generic live tile. Unpin and re-'Pin' the live tile (from the app list).If, for example, you had the live tile set (in Photos/Settings) to show 'Favourites', then change it to show 'Recent Photos' - this will force action of some kind, if only to show you that one setting works where another doesn't - and this usually gives clues as to what's wrong. Change what's supposed to be shown in the live tile.For example, there was an update to Photos a while back which specifically fixed an issue with live tile updating. Make absolutely sure that your phone is on the latest OS and app updates. Restarting the phone will make sure that every background agent and service is running properly again. It's entirely possible that something's gone a bit awry under the hood, especially if, like me, you're playing with an Insiders build. stop fiddling when it's all working again! Don't worry, though, because the opening steps and check are pretty trivial. Something, anything!.Īs with most tech problems, fixing this is all about being methodical. Here I'm having problems with a transparent/blank Photos live tile and I'm resorting to the time-honoured trick of unpinning it and pinning back again(!) (right) changing what's supposed to be on the live tile should get something happening. It's also important to be patient when diagnosing live tile issues - in general, some of them may only be updated once every 20 minutes or so (at worst case), so don't expect instant results (though the Photos tile seems quick, since it's a Microsoft app and presumably has special permissions). Yours may also be this broken, but you might also see some photos and then see a blank/transparent tile the rest of the time. In my case, on a fairly newly wiped Lumia 950, the issue was drastic, with nothing at all showing up on the Photos live tile.
