Hi! I'm so happy with this that i can make my windows 11 looks like windows 10👏. But i have a request. Can you make "Photos" Live tile function? I mean that Mail live tile workd and why not Photos too?? :D (Screenshot attached) Thanks, greetings. (Yea i've found and read this #1591 fixes but.. help me understanding how it works:) Pleasee @Amrsatrio Tolonggg apakah di Versi Windows ku "25h2 build, 26200.7840" bisa berfungsi hehe... Thanks for your hardwork)
Example :

(Windows 10 original looks like this)

I heard somewhere that the Photos app has checks if it is running on W11, and disables live tiles when it detects so. I don't know if I'm confident enough to dig into the code for it and make a patch, but if I were to do it, that would be a Windhawk mod as injection into the Photos app is needed.

Wow thanks for the explanation, but does this also apply to other apps like Spotify, the Microsoft Store, and Mail, where live tiles are also updated regularly? Hopefully, I can better understand how this works. 😇😇

Spotify live tiles is a bit spotty. 80% chance of working on 22H2 and 23H2, and couldn't get it to work on 24H2. Don't know about others. At the end of the day, implementation differs per app.

No, it's just because the Live Tile code was removed. But for the 'Photos (Legacy)' app, I'm not sure.

[XiaoTDM]

The Photos app switched to WinUI3 has removed the live tile code. My suggestion is to install the Photos app around version 2020.20120.4004.0 to restore the live tile photo feature.

[XiaoTDM]

Use store.rg-adguard.net and enter the link of the Photos app on Microsoft Store, then download the packages with versions lower than 2021.xxx. You can install them directly, or look for tutorials on coexisting UWP apps to ensure it does not affect the original Photos app and refuse automatic updates.

Hi XiaoTDM! Yoo this is 100% work! now i can officially use photos app tile again 😇
Here's the result:

If you don't mind the partial bugs in the notifications caused by this method, you can take a look at my comment.

Based on my tests, directly replacing all the files will cause notifications from some software (phone connection) to not display. After further testing, simply replacing certain files can restore some live tile functionality: v10.0.22621.2070 Next, I will try to conduct a stability test, which will take some more time.wpncore.dll

Ok ill take a look! Thanks for the suggestion!
