Nothing, it doesn't give me the option to pin/unpin programs. It only gives me the option to pin programs to the taskbar.

ideally, the above steps should remove the tile which you want to. However, if it fails to, I would suggest you to Restore Default Start Screen Tiles. Please follow the below steps.

 

1. Press the Windows key + R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box.
2. Enter the following command: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows, which will open the  Microsoft Windows App-data folder.
3. Scroll down to find these two files, namely, item-data file and the item-data.bak.
4. Select both files to delet, right-click on it and select Delete option to send it to the Recycle bin. Don’t press Shift to delete it permanently, let it go to recycle bin. On the safe side you can make a backup copy of these two files on another disk location.
5. Restart your PC or log out and log in again. Now you will see Windows 8.x Start Screen reset to default tiles.
6. Now re-arrange the tile as you want and new tiles will also be created automatily when you install any apps from Store.

Note: If anything went wrong and you want to revert start screen tiles to your tiles. restore item data files from recycle bin or from the location where you backed up to the Windows app data folder.

I have no idea, a while ago. (Quotes are broken apparently, couldn't quote your last post.)

Sounds like you set yourself some group policies to block yourself from moving tiles. Or you used some crappy system tweak tool.

Open gpedit (Win+R, type: gpedit), Go to: User Configuration or Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >Start Menu and Taskbar.

Go to Start Layout, and select Not Configured, and restart your PC.

That didn't fix it unfortunately, it was already set to 'not configured'. Thanks anyways
