On my netbook with 1024x600 screen res, it is not possible to open metro apps unless I used a compressed scaled resolution. I want it to automatically use a scaled resolution in metro apps and normal resolution on desktop. This can be easily achieved if there is a method to run a process every time the start screen is shown and a different process every time the desktop is shown. Any ideas how I can achieve this?
This is not an Intel driver problem. In fact scaled resolution is a feature of the Intel driver that at least allows me to open metro apps. I want a solution to run a process every time the start screen is shown and every time the desktop is shown. That way I can sort out the resolution change myself. If the event of show start screen is logged I can do this with task scheduler but I have no idea about such an event name.
Actually this sounds like a netbook problem in general. You need more than 1024x768 to run metro apps I believe.
Actually try this, This worked in the RP and it possibly may work still Code: Run Regedit.exe Press Ctrl+F type : Display1_DownScalingSupported Set its value to : 1 Restart the system
You don't, I already have that in the registry and can run metro apps with a scaled resolution. I just want to automate the process of switching resolutions.
Tried that, the problem is the Windows key is also used to switch from start screen to desktop, so this solution does not work.
