After installation Windows 8, Start Screen-ul displays default in a default tile sites For a few Modern applications who come to the package with the operating system. But every time others Applications (modern or desktop) are installed, they fix in turn tile-uri pe Start Screen (or users may choose over time to display on the start screen tile to Frequently used applications, using click-right on their icons > Pin to Start), which can lead to its agglomeration quite quickly.

How do we reset the screen screen to default mode?
In Windows 8, files containing Databases with Tile displayed on Start Screen are the following (according to TechNet):
- %LocalAppData%MicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms
- %LocalAppData%MicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms.bak
In order to Reset Start Screen In the default mode, users should only redepend, in mute or SA delete the respective files (the most Recommended is that they are either renamed or moved, where will be desired later Return to Start Screen before reset), in which case WinXP will no longer be able to associate the data stored in them with the start of the screen and will apply Default policy for Tile at Start Screen (displaying only tile sites for predefined applications).
If you choose to Rename the files containing the databases for the Tile displayed on the Start Screen, the renaming can be done quite easily with the help Command prompt:
- open Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges
- Tab the following orders And give Enter After each of these:
- ren “%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms” “appsFolder.itemdata-ms.bk1″
- ren “%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms.bak” “appsFolder.itemdata-ms.bak.bk2″
- Then give Restart the system In order for changes to have effect
If you would like to subsequently Refisce Start Screen before reset, Delete new files with databases Using the following commands:
- del /F /S /Q /A “%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms”
- del /F /S /Q /A “%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms.bak”
Then rename old files back to initial name:
- ren “%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms.bk1″ “appsFolder.itemdata-ms”
- ren “%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsappsFolder.itemdata-ms.bak.bk2″ “appsFolder.itemdata-ms.bak”
