How to clear Win8 dynamic tile personal information to protect personal privacy

Source: Internet
Author: User

Fault symptom:

Win8 starts to view the corresponding content in real time, but if the deleted content is still displayed in the dynamic tile, such as the image that has been deleted from the image library, it will still be displayed on the dynamic tile of the image.


Cause analysis:
The dynamic tile stores the personal information in the corresponding historical records, so clear the personal information.
Solution:

Method 1:


You can right-click the dynamic tile, and select "disable dynamic tile" from the Operation Menu at the bottom of the screen, so that the selected tile will not scroll to display real-time information. As shown in the following figure:

 

 

Method 2:

 

Clear the personal information of the tile in the Win8 superbutton side bar

 

Press the "Win + I" key combination in the Win8 start screen or use your finger to drag the super button from the right end of the screen to the center and select the "set" gear icon, click "tile" at the top of the sidebar on the right side of the screen ".

 

 

After entering the tile setting page from the Win8 side, we can see a setting for "clear personal information from my tile, click "clear" to clear all personal information displayed on the current tile.

 

 

Method 3:

 

Delete history in Win8 computer settings

 

Press the "Win + I" key combination in the Win8 start screen or use your finger to drag the super button from the right end of the screen to the center and select the "set" gear icon, click "change computer settings" at the bottom of the sidebar on the right of the screen"

 

Go to the Win8 computer settings page, find "general" in the left-side category, and click "delete history" under "application switching" on the right ".

 

 

Method 4:

 

   
Set Win8 shutdown using group policy to automatically clear tile history

 

If it is troublesome to clear history records from time to time, we can also set Win8 as shutdown to automatically clear the tile history through the group policy.

 

Press the shortcut key "Win + R" and enter "gpedit. msc" in the running Window (excluding quotation marks ).

 

 

Go to the Win8 Local Group Policy Editor and select "user configuration-management template-'Start' menu and taskbar". On the right side, we can see "clear Tile notifications and history records when exiting the system ".

 


 

Double-click the text option "clear Tile notifications and history when exiting the system", select "enabled" in the pop-up settings window, and click "OK" at the bottom.

 


 

If this setting is enabled, the Win8 system will delete the tile notification when the user logs out. Therefore, when you log on to Win8 again, the default content is always displayed on the screen. In addition, when you log out, all cached versions of these notifications are cleared.
