Show more Tiles option to add 4th column on Start menu in Windows 10

Here’s a small tip about a new feature introduced in Windows 10 Build 10547. The default for tile groups on Start menu is 3 columns of medium sized tiles. But Windows 10 users wanted to have a 4th column as well, by doing so they could have 2 wide or large sized tiles or 4 medium sized tiles side by side in a group. Listening to the users feedback, Microsoft has added this option and has introduced in the Build 10547 released to Windows Insiders. This was one of the most requested feature.

At present one can have 3 columns of medium sized tiles side by side in a group

The new option to add more tiles can be accessed from

Settings > Personalization > Start

and enable “Show more tiles” by switching it to On.

Now you can see some more space added in Start menu.

Now you can add that extra tile for the 4th column so that one can now have 2 wide or large sized tiles or 4 medium sized tiles side by side in a group as can be seen in the below pic.

Also another feature added is now Windows supports up to 2048 tiles on Start. Earlier it was limited to 512 tiles. Hope this small tip helps.

Hoping Microsoft also brings this feature to all users, as at present only available to Insiders on build 10547
