Windows 10 has lot of feature carried forward from the Windows 8.1 and one of the most prominent one is the start menu which is customizable with tiles. You can add or remove application tiles to the start menu and also rearrange them using drag and drop. There is also option to change the size of the tiles in Windows 10. Now, what if you want to have a custom tile for a application? While this option is not available by default, you can always do this using the third party app called TileCreator.

This program does exactly what you wanted, it creates tiles to your Windows 10 Start Menu that open any application when clicked. The app is pretty useful to have custom tiles in your start screen.

The process to create a custom tile in not a straight forward option using the app, but still easy to do it.
