Icons showing up on my nook

[austinjenna]

Hi, I have a nook HD+ and I am always getting shortcuts/icons showing up on my desktop/tabletop screen for games, security etc..sometimes 4-5 a day. I always have to press them, then tap remove from tabletop. I don't know how to turn these off and its kind of pizzin me off.

I have active shelf turned off as well as everything on that settings screen. I could not find anything in searching the net either. Any help would be appreciated

I get them also. They appear when you drag them down from the carousel, in my case inadvertently. Try it - just take your finger tip and touch an icon on the carousel and pull it down. Took me a while to figure out why they kept appearing.

Emmm.... ya know I think I have auto-update off and haven't done an update, well, in forever.

Maybe I should

Thanks for the response but these are for apps that I don't currently have on my tablet. They are icon shortcuts for IF I want them.

Good Morning

Mine did that because auto update was on. Every time an app updated itself I got an icon. auto update can be turned off but you will need to remember to update your apps every once in a while.
