How to make start menu smaller

0

I've had the small version of the start menu before on my computer before and somehow it changed back to the atrocious start screen. How do I change it back?

According to this blog, there's supposed to be a check box for that. Well, as the screen below shows, it's not present on my system.

Could it be affected by the desktop/tablet mode switch? How can I confirm which mode my computer is in at the moment? I only get a question if I should enter this or that mode but I get no yes or no button and I'm not notified of whether the change's been effected or not...

In the computer properties (Try Windows Key + Pause/Break to open it) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2015-02-03T22:37:52.217

@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 I have no such key on my Surface 3... – Konrad Viltersten – 2015-02-04T05:43:11.440

It is now a toggle button on the Start Menu/Screen itself. Open the screen and look on the top right for arrow boxes pointing outwards (if you're on the Start Menu) or inwards (if on the Start Screen)

I believe that option has been removed as of 9926. The functionality has been replaced by allowing you to run the Start menu in full screen mode.

Click the Start menu, then click the button in the top right (the one with the 4 directional arrows on it).

Yeah, it's there. But sometimes it isn't... Tablet mode? How do I switch between desktop and tablet modes?! – Konrad Viltersten – 2015-02-03T22:37:15.950
