How to view All Icons on the Start Page on a Windows 8 Tablet

Description: This guide shows you how to view all of the icons on your Start page instead of scrolling through them. This might be useful if you have a lot of icons and need to access an app at the very end of your list quickly.

  1. In the bottom middle of the tablet, press the Windows start button.
