Hello friends here in this tutorial I am going to share
with you a trick to run Windows 8.1 metro applications in a laptop having low resolution display.
Recently one of my friends asked me to install windows
8.1 in his 9 inch laptop with 1024X600
resolution display so I installed windows 8.1 in his laptop and after installed
everything was working fine but only
problem is that I was not able to run any metro applications. When I click on
any applications it shows a message saying – This app cannot open The screen
resolution is too low for this app to run.
So I search in the Google and finally got a trick to run
metro application in a low resolution display laptop.
Since the metro applications in Windows 8.1 is made only
for High Resolution Display Laptop, you cannot run its metro applications in
Laptop having Low resolution Display but by changing some registry value in the
registry editor you can run it without any problem.
So here is the steps to change the registry value:
step 1: Open Registry editor
To open
click start then type regedit and click regedit
Step 2: Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / Current Control Set /
Control / Class / {4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} / 0000
Open DWORD : Display1_DownScalingSupported change value
to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / Current Control Set /
Control / Class / {4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} / 0001
Open DWORD : Display1_DownScalingSupported change value to 1
If you find more than two entry of Display1_DownScalingSupported, change all of its value to 1
(Ignore if the keys is not available, or you can make it
yourself)
Restart your computer and check the screen resolution, you will see your screen resolution is increased and now you can able to run metro applications.
This method is
depending on the Graphic Card you are using and can lead to broken components,
