Bring Back The Windows 8 Start Screen Tile Animation

Note: Before making any changes to the Windows Registry, make sure you back it up first. Use the keyboard shortcut Windows Key + R to display Run and type: regedit and hit Enter.

Now in Registry Editor browse to the following: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid The right click an empty area in the right pane and select New » DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name the new value Launcher_SessionLogin_Animation_OnShow and hit Enter.

Now change the Value Data from 0 to 1 and click OK. Then close out of Registry Editor.

Now when you hit the Windows Key, you’ll see the tiles on the Start screen tiles come up in an animated fashion. This tweak isn’t a huge change, but makes Tiles on the Start screen a more lively environment. Similar to how they display on Windows Phone.

If you want to change it back, go into Registry Editor and change the Value Data back to 0. Comment
