Introduction

In this article we are going to explain how to increase the number of Start Menu rows displayed in Windows 8. In Windows 8, the row number will be adjusted automatically in the Start Menu and depending on our screen resolution. The automatic row adjustment works great for up to six rows. If our screen has vertical space to spare, then the guide will help to increase the maximum number of rows displayed beyond six.
