Resizing tiles
Your Start menu can become crowded with tiles as you continue to add apps to it. One way to relieve the clutter and view more tiles in the menu is to reduce the size of some tiles. You might also want to enlarge a tile that you want to more easily find. There are four sizes for tiles: Small, Medium, Wide, and Large. By default tiles appear in the Medium or Wide size.
Change tile size
- Click the Start button.
- Right-click a tile.
- Click Resize
Click Small, Medium, Wide, or Large.

TIP
You might have noticed that some tiles have specific content such as a news story displayed on them, whereas others only sport a solid background and an icon. Tiles with content in them are called live tiles. If the live content in a tile distracts you, right-click that app tile in the Start menu, and then, in the shortcut menu that opens, choose Turn Live Tile Off.
