Adaptive tile templates: schema and guidance

Note

Lives Tiles are a Windows 10 feature that is not supported on later versions of Windows. For new apps, we recommend that you follow the current guidance for App icons.

Here are the elements and attributes you use to create adaptive tiles. For instructions and examples, see Create adaptive tiles.
