Windows 10: Start Menu registry settings

I'm trying to deploy a custom Start Menuvia LGPO PC's and plan on having a full screen start menu with pinned tiles.

But somewhere in the org's image/deployment of W10 which includes a customised Start Menu it will create a maximum tile size of 2x2. Even going into the XML generated by Export-StartLayout and manually configuring to a 4x4 tile just breaks it.



I'm assuming there is a Registry key for this somewhere, but I'm not the most familiar with the Registry so my digging hasn't turned up anything helpful.


Anybody have know where this might be?

Registry Editor Missing from Administrative Tools in Start menu

The Registry Editor was never listed in Administrative Tools in the Start menu in the earlier versions of Windows 10 and previous versions of Windows. It is only in the recent couple of Windows 10 updates that it was included there. I guess I only have my itchy hands to blame for manually adding it before the updates came my way and therefore breaking it.

No worries, Guys. Thank you very much All for your inputs and suggestions. I appreciate it.

Have a good day wherever you are,
Andrew
