Windows 8.1 system custom start screen change default state

The start screen on Windows 8.1 system is the same after the first boot. The default start screen, regardless of the position or size of the application magnet, often does not meet our preferences, so how do you customize the start screen?

Customizing the start screen means you can organize and arrange the "start” screen at will. You can resize the tiles and move them as you want. For example, you can zoom in on tiles that you use often, and shrink tiles that you don't use often. You can resize and arrange the tiles in the way that suits you best. You can also group tiles to help track your apps and use them more efficiently. Regardless of the way you choose to organize your tiles, the Custom "Start" screen gives you easier access to apps, folders, websites, and the most frequently contacted people.

To move the tile on the "Start” screen

1. On the "Start” screen, press and hold the tile you want to move. (If you use a mouse, click and hold the tile).

2. Drag the tile to the desired placement.

Adjust the tile size on the "Start” screen

1. On the "Start” screen, long press the tile you want to resize. (If you use a mouse, right click on the tile.)

2. Tap or click “Resize”.

3. Select the desired size.

Creating Tile Groups

1. On the "Start” screen, long press or right click on the tiles you want to group into.

2. Drag these tiles to a blank area and release the tile when a gray bar appears behind it. This will create a new tile group.

3. If you want to name the group, click or click in the "Named group" above the group and enter a new name. After creating a new group, you can move the entire group back and forth on the “Start” screen.

Moving Tiles

1. On the "Start” screen, close your finger to zoom out. (If you use a mouse, click the zoom icon in the lower right corner of the screen.)

2. Press and drag or click and drag the tile group you want to move to the desired location. After moving the group, tap or click anywhere on the screen to zoom in again.

I believe that after reading this tutorial, everyone can learn how to customize the start screen on their Windows 8.1 system. In addition, the start screen also supports display of background images other than the system default, which will make your start screen more personalized.
