Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

Use the following information to customize your tiles.

• Right-click a tile to see the tile commands. Not all commands are available for each tile.

  • Pin from Start or Pin to Start: Adds or removes the tile from Start. This does not uninstall the app from the computer.

  • Pin from Taskbar or Pin to Taskbar: Pins (or unpins) tiles for desktop apps such as Clock or Calendar to the taskbar on the desktop.

  • Uninstall: Removes the app from the computer.

  • Turn Live Tile off or on: Displays information from the app when turned on. For instance, on the Weather tile, see the current temperature and forecast.

  • Run as administrator: Available on apps such as Paint and Notepad. Use when necessary to access or modify files or system configurations.

  • Resize: Increases or decreases the tile size. Depending on the tile, choose from large, wide, medium, and small.

  • Open file location: Opens File Explorer to the location of the file or shortcut.

  • Rate and review: Rate and write a review of the app in the Microsoft Store.

  • Share: Available on apps such as Photos and Skype. Share a photo, file, or link with others using email, nearby sharing, or social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter.

  

• Pin an app to the Start screen. In the Apps list, find the app you want to pin to Start, right-click it, and then click Pin to Start.

  

• To move a tile with the mouse, drag it to a new position.

• To move a tile using touch, first drag it up or down, and then drag it to the new position.

• You can organize your tiles into groups, arrange the groups, and assign names to groups.

  1. To create a new group, select a tile, drag it to an open space, and drop it. You can have many groups on the Start menu. If the groups don't fit on one screen, scroll right sideways or vertically by clicking and dragging the scroll bar.

  2. To name the new group, hover the mouse above the tile, click the Name group box and type a name. Click outside the name box to display the new name for the group.

     

  3. To move a group, click the title and drag the group to the new position.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
