This is the START page on my Surface for Windows RT. Notice anything different?
Four rows of tiles on a Surface for Windows RT Start page
What you need to do is:
- Open the Registry via the desktop using REGEDIT.EXE
- Create the following key[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Scaling] - Create the following String value in this key:
MonitorSize"="12.1 - Reboot
Don’t fully know all the side effects of this change, other than the keyboard getting a bit smaller and the fonts looking a little less sharp. You can however roll back the changes by removing the Scaling key.
