The items that are in the start screen are called badges.<br/><br/>That said, I'm not sure why it would be blank. Does the non-pinned Outlook 2013 Badge appear properly? How are you pinning it?<br/>Quote from: BC_Programmer on March 13, 2014, 05:40:11 PM<blockquote>The items that are in the start screen are called badges.<br/></blockquote>You mean tiles, not badges, in this case. <br/><br/>References: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh779724.aspx">Tile and tile notification overview</a> and <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh779719.aspx">Badge overview</a>When I originally pinned the app to the start , the tile had the outlook symbol and outlook 2013 on it.

However, I found that I was able to remove outlook 2013's tile, and then re-add it again. I re-added it by using Start-Search to search for outlook and then pinning the outlook 2013 result, and it appeared pretty much as before (blue tile with the outlook 2013 icon).<br/><br/>As others have suggested a reboot is probably a good thing to give a try, if you haven't already.Yes I had already rebooted when I first had the problem 2 days ago. I just did the search for Outlook 2013 on the START page , found the app, right clicked and pinned to start! Same result, one blue tile without any information on the tile. When I access the tile, outlook 2013 opens?? Use Explorer...check these 4 locations...when you find the .exe right clik that...or drag it to pin...the icon should show after a reboot.Quote<blockquote>For Win7 32 bit:<br/><br/>C:\Program Files\Microsoft <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/office-248910" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OFFICE">OFFICE</a>\Office15<br/><br/><br/><br/>If Office is a Click-To-Run installation:<br/><br/>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClentX86 \Root\Office15<br/><br/><br/><br/>For Win7 64 bit:<br/><br/>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15<br/><br/><br/><br/>If Office is a Click-To-Run installation:<br/><br/>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\Root\Office15</blockquote></body></html>
