Customization :: Some Apps Cannot Have A Big Start Menu Tile?
Oct 2, 2015Why is it that some programs (like Edge, which I don't use), can have a bigger tile, on the start menu, and others (like Firefox, which I use) don't?

Customization :: Changing Start Menu Tile Side
Aug 13, 2015I have basically given up hope that Microsoft will return the Windows 7 (and before) Start Menu back where it belongs. So I want to play their game and try to modify the tile side. I see that programs that I pin to the Start menu go to the very bottom of the tiles. I added a title called Start List Programs and moved all of the pinned programs under that title.
I am wondering if I could move that title and the list of programs above the Life at a Glance section. I know that every time I pin something to the Start menu I would have to move it to the top but it would be better than having to pull the bar down to the bottom every time I wanted to access something from the Start menu. If that fails, I will see if Classic Shell has a Windows 10 option and go from there.
How To Reinstall Mail - None Of Apps Will Launch From Start Tile Menu
Jun 20, 2015I am running Windows 10 Build 10130 and none of the apps listed above will launch from the start tile menu or the all apps list. It appears that most of the apps that came with Win 10 won't launch but the apps that I pinned to the start menu work fine. Since I rarely used these apps I don't know how long this problem has been going on. I restored back to an earlier restore point but the problem is still there. I know it is something I screwed up but I can't figure it out.

Aug 6, 2015How do I narrow the tiles column in the start menu?
I have unpinned many of the tiles on the start menu and moved others around so that I have only one row of tiles and I would like to make the column narrower, but I haven't been able to. I made the double arrows show on the right side, and I click and hold the arrows to move it to the left, but nothing happens. Am I missing something?

View 2 RepliesExport Start Menu Layout ( Tile Arrangement ) Without PS
Dec 22, 2015I want to export my Start Menu layout to another (local) account.
However, when using Powershell's Import-StartLayout, I receive an 'access denied' error, it seems that the command tries to access the (hidden) C:UsersDefault folder as I set C: as -MountPath, perhaps this is just a minor issue, perhaps not.
I also tried copying and changing perms of the C:Users[username]AppDataLocalTileDataLayerDatabase folder, to export my start menu and to lock it, but changing any perms (admin or user) to that folder, resulted in corrupted boots, rendering windows slowly and with half its accessibility, I had to do a full system repair (twice), and copying that folder isn't even possible whilst windows is active. But I found out that to lock it, the Registry DWORD ''NoChangeStartMenu" sufficed. But my problem to transfer the settings, the tiles arrangement, persists.
I figured to leave that TileDataLayerDatabase folder with its data alone, and to move on to another solution, being thus the PS command, as described above. I got the info (about that folder) from somewhere on the Internet, someone claimed that the windows 10 Start Menu configuration is stored in it, my advice though : don't touch it!
I'm quite familiar with using the Registry (Users, never LM) to alter perms, either with DWORD's or Key Perms, as well as exporting and executing registry files. I've been searching for some key or value in the Registry, that relates to the arrangement of the Start Menu Tiles, (I know where the shortcuts are in explorer), but no luck there... (like ExplorerTaskband relates to the Taskbar pins)
Thus, given that the StartLayout commands don't work out for me, and well, I don't really like using them either, I'm placing this desperate request, for some knowledge on where I can find the Start Menu Tile arrangement, or how I could export and import it without the StartLayout commands.
PS : The appsFolder.itemdata-ms file as well as its relatives, as they were used in the Appdata to transfer the Start Menu Layout in some versions of windows 8, no longer exist in 10, at least not where they used to be, also I don't have GPO, and prefer Regedit over it.

View 4 RepliesCustomization :: Unable To Add To All Apps List In Start Menu
Dec 6, 2015I can place a new folder or custom shortcut in the correct start menu location (current user or all users) but it will not appear in the All apps list. If I go to the folder or shortcut and right-click Pin to Start it will appear as a tile in the start menu, but still will not show up in the All apps list. I think this behavior started with Version 1511 since it was working for me in the previous version.
View 9 RepliesCustomization :: Start Menu Width Adjustment For All Apps
Aug 28, 2015I have read everywhere on how to change the start menu width, however what I am asking for does not seem to be covered anywhere. When I open the "All Apps" section of the start menu to get to my installed programs I am unable to distinguish between some of them due to their width. (See attached screenshot)
What I want is to extend the width of the list of apps, NOT the width of the live tiles area. Seems everywhere covers how to change the width of the start menu but it only affects the live tiles area, not the app list.
I have searched through the registry and can't find anything there. Maybe I missed something?

View 1 RepliesCustomization :: Windows Store Apps In (All Apps) Menu
Aug 15, 2015So you know how it's possible to move your shortcuts into folders and rename said folders on regular "desktop" apps? Is this possible with Windows Store "Metro" apps as well?
What I'd really like to do, for example, is have a folder called "Games" where I put all of the games I've gotten from the store. Similar to how Office 2013 is its own folder and you don't HAVE to have Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc on their own in the start menu.
However, opening up the Explorer folder with the Start Menu only shows my "desktop apps" plus a couple choice Metro apps (like Settings)... none of the others.
Unable To Search Executable Or Pinned Start Apps From Start Menu
Jul 28, 2015I'm running the RTM on a netbook and have noticed that, unlike in Windows 7/8/8.1, I'm no longer able to hit Start and type in an executable. I have a bunch of portable apps that I typically type in and pull up. Now, the Start menu search pulls up ever OTHER file except the executable. It's very annoying and don't see why this shouldn't work.
What's worse, is if I pin the app to the start menu, it doesn't search it then. Say, I pin "puttyportable.exe" as a shortcut (and rename it to just PuTTY) to the start menu. Typing in "putty" gives me nothing - just the same associated files that were in the puttyportable folder (ini files, etc).
