    How to Turn On or Off Show more tiles on Start in Windows 10


    A Tile is an image that represents a pinned app on Start. Live tiles on Start display information that are useful at a glance without opening an app.

    The default for tile groups on Start is to have 3 columns of medium sized tiles, but Microsoft has heard feedback from many Insiders who wanted the ability to have a 4th column as well, so they could have two wide or large sized tiles side by side in a group. Starting with Windows 10 build 10547, a Show more tiles on Start setting has been added to be able to do this now. Windows 10 now supports up to 2048 tiles on Start.

    This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Show more tiles on Start for your account in Windows 10.


    EXAMPLE: "Show more tiles on Start" On and Off

    Thanks, Shawn. :)

    Hooray! Since I can't use Tablet mode due to dual monitors this'll be one more step being more like the Start screen. :)

    I need those 2048 tiles too!

    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone know what registry key this setting relates to? I can't seem to find where it is changed in the registry.

    Unfortunately according to Process Monitor changing this flag updates the %localappdata%\TileDataLayer\database not the registry.
