I saw a post in Windows Phone Brasil (in Portuguese) about the same thing.
In the case someone suggest it happen when Windows Phone is doing its backup in the cloud and Whatsapp take long because it has more local things to go to the cloud (because this is more perceptible).
So I went to Backup ...

you can install apps that create custom "launcher" tiles for many of the phone's functions. Such an app is Wiztiles. How useful they are depends on your use cases, though.

I think this could have been the Chronos Calendar app which is on my start screen. About half an hour after seeing the error (not immediately, though ...) the Chronos tile stopped showing upcoming appointments and just showed a logo. Even after a restart.
In the Chronos settings I found the Live Tile Activated setting was unchecked. Switched it on again and ...

There are multiple clock apps, both analog and digital, if you check the store. A good (free) one is called "World Clock" from Live Apps - you can create one or more live tile clocks.

This usually happens when an app update is being installed and the app is therefore blocked during that time.
However, there seems to be a bug that grays out the tile even if not update is being applied. Especially WhatsApp seems to suffer from this problem (also it's propably getting more attention because a lot of people use this app). The "quick" way to ...

The place to pin different accounts to Start is in the account switcher, not in the Settings -> "Manage accounts" view.
I also have multiple Google accounts (Gmail+Calendar, etc.). These are the instructions from my Lumia 950 XL running the latest W10M Insider in portrait orientation; it's vaguely possible they may be slightly different on the 920 due to ...

Unfortunately you can't.
This feature used to be in some of the preview builds but Microsoft pulled it out, citing issues with Start screen layouts. They said it would be quite some time before it was put back in, and given the current rate of development I wouldn't expect to see it any time soon, if ever.

It is only possible to change the colour if the tile is transparent. Some applications primary and secondary tiles have specific colours and cannot be changed, for example an application may wish to keep their brand colours on the tile.

If you hit the ... menu from the inbox/tile on your home screen, you should be able to view "linked inboxes." From there you should be able to unlink them, unless there is something weird with two exchange accounts. I'm guessing it just linked them by default for you.
