Don't know why my Surface RT start screen show 4 rows

[hisoft]

I didn't done registry trick. Check registry in mod forum and don't found that registry in my system.

I only remember I try something by running command prompt as system by Process Hacker. Then done a few thing include change narrator to command prompt and execute explorer on lockscreen. Then I login, kill all explorer and run new explorer as system. I can't remember everything I done but after I restart last time my Surface RT become like this.

I don't sure my onscreen keyboard were scale down or not then I attach it here too.

Didn't restart yet since I'm not sure it will permanent or not. Decide to keep it for investigate.

It's a known bug that this happens, it generally goes away at reboot, or just randomly when you close then open the start menu.

It's also not development and hacking,

if you are upgraded to 8.1, 4 rows is now natively supported, no need to regedit

Is it optional or fixed?

I'm just curious about why the left column is labeled ミク (Miku) =). Is that anime character Hatsune Miku?

My teacher teach me to spell my nickname "Mix" with "ミク". I use it before I know 初音ミク. And yes, the desktop background were random to Hatsune Miku at the time I take screenshot.

Hatsune Miku didn't anime character. But were the mascot of Vocaloid (singing voice synthesizer program).

It seems it depends on screen resolution, I'm using 8.1 on my VivoTab RT and I have only 3 rows.

As for 4 rows - this thing happens if you turn Tegra driver off and Windows will you its own video driver - in this case you will see 4 rows but computer will be slower.

optional - you swipe in charm menu, select add tiles, and you get 4 rows

It is ACTUALLY dependent on both screen resolution AND the physical size of the screen. I have a 1366x768 Samsung Series 7 Slate and a 1366x768 Lenovo ThinkPad Twist and the Sammie shows 3 and the Twist shows 4. If you want to see 4 on devices that only show 3, you have to use a really odd registry setting for this to happen:

In the registry, search for: “Display1_DownScalingSupported”
Modify “Value Data” from “0” to “1”

Boom.

Works for both 8 and 8.1
