Windows 11 is one of the hottest topics in the town of tech. The developers are adding new features and the consumers are loving it. There is a new feature in this OS that allows you to add more programs to the Start Menu. In this article, we are going to see how to show more Pinned Tiles on Windows 11 Start Menu.
If you want to show more Pinned Tiles on Windows 11 Start Menu, you first need to have Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22509. However, the feature will soon be available on other builds as well, including the stable version of Windows 11.
Show more Pinned Tiles on Windows 11 Start Menu
To show more App Rows and add more tiles to the Start Menu, you have two methods. The following are the two methods.
- From Settings
- From Registry Editor
Let us talk about them in detail.
1] Show more App Rows in the Start Menu in Windows 11 using Settings
If you want to use Windows Settings to add more tiles to the Windows 11 Start Menu, follow the given steps.
- Open Settings by searching it out of the Start Menu or by keyboard shortcut Win + I.
- Go to Personalization.
- Click on Start.
- Select More pins to allow the Start Menu to display more pinned tiles.
Now you can see your Start Menu. More apps will be pinned and the recommendation will be fewer. You can select More recommendations from Settings > Personalization > Start if you want more of them.
You can also customize the settings from here. Use the toggles to enable the mentioned settings.
2] Show more Pinned Tiles on Windows 11 Start Menu using Registry Editor
This method may not be for everyone. So, if you are not familiar with the Registry Editor, we would not recommend you use this method. Instead, use Windows Settings to have the exact effect. But if you want to use Registry Editor, hit Win + R, type “Regedit” and click Ok to open the editor. Then navigate to the following location.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Look for Start_Layout and double-click on it. Set the Value data depending on the option you want to select. Following are the available options.
- 0: Default
- 1: More pins
- 2: More recommendations
Since we are talking about adding more tiles to the Start Menu, we need to set 1 as the Value data and click Ok
Restart the computer and hopefully, hopefully, your Start Menu will be changed as per your command.
