In Windows Phone 8.1, when you used Internet Explorer to go to a website, you could pin the page to the Start menu and the tile would be a thumbshot of the webpage.

Now it seems that in Windows 10 Mobile, Microsoft Edge (which replaces IE) will save a boring one-color tile with the website name at the bottom and the Edge logo in the middle.

Previously saved tiles that were on my phone prior to upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile now have just the one-color tile with no logo.

Has this feature (thumbshot of webpage on the tile) been removed from Windows 10 Mobile/Microsoft Edge Broswer, and if so, is there any other way or are there any apps that will let you use a thumbnail of a website as the tile image?

  • It seems that this feature is not yet brought to Edge. Please provide this as a feedback in the feedback app. – Kolappan Nathan Mar 19 '16 at 16:59

This feature is not yet available in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Mobile. I'd suggest you upvote this suggestion in the feedback app.

I haven't found a browser app yet, that would support this.

I had the same problem. The problem is not the Windows 10 Mobile, but a failure in the updates. When you do a full factory reset, the thumbshots on the tile are back.

    Really? So now when you now pin a new website in Edge to the start screen, does it give you a thumbshot? Or does it only work for tiles created prior to your Windows Mobile 10 update? – lkessler Sep 13 '16 at 22:39
