I have two PC's running Win 8.1 pro. One system was developed from downloads over the internet since release, the other was a full clean installation from a purchased RETAIL copy.
On the latter installation if I change the "show more applications in APP view" button under the tiles menu then it responds correctly and shows more tiles but if I do the same on the original system the Button changes when selected but does not keep the setting at all.
If you compare the registry values in HKEY-CURRENT USER \SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\IMMERSIVESHELL\GRID there are a few differences and the DWORD "Layout_ShowMoreAPVApps" is not present on the original version. If I manually add this DWORD it still does not correct the problem.
Anyone any ideas why these two supposedly identical versions on Win 8.1 PRO are not ?
Thanks in advance for any solution. I have asked this question on the MS Community forums as well.
