This tutorial explains how to rename a tile folder in Start menu of Windows 10. You must already know that you can add tiles to a group in Windows 10 Start menu, which becomes a tile folder. But the thing was Windows 10 didn’t have any option to add a name for that tile folder or tile group or rename it. Thankfully, now this feature or option is natively supported in Windows 10.
Adding or renaming a tile folder will help you easily identify that particular folder in the list of other folders and tiles in Start menu. Though the feature is not a part of 1803 version (April Update) of Windows 10 or earlier versions, this feature can be given a try with preview build 17666 or higher. You can install this build and see how it goes.
In the screenshot added above, you can see a tile folder in Start menu of Windows 10 that I renamed as “I Love Free Software”. And the tile folder name is visible when I contracted the tile group. When there are a lot of tile folders present, it becomes easier to find a particular folder.
How To Rename A Tile Folder In Start Menu of Windows 10?
Step 1: It’s a very basic step. Just click the Start button to open Start menu of Windows 10.
Step 2: Click on a tile folder. Now you will see “Name folder” option. Earlier, this option was not there but with this build, it is available. Click on that option and add a custom text. This way you can set a name for a tile folder in Windows 10 Start menu.
