Running Metro UI Apps
To run apps in the Metro UI in Windows 8 you will need to check that the Screen Resolution and User Account
Control Settings are compatible with the system requirements.
Screen Resolution Settings
1. Switch to the Windows Desktop (click/tap the app or use the Windows logo key + D key combination).
2. Right-click a blank area of the Windows Desktop and select Screen Resolution. Adjust the Resolution to
make sure that it is at least 1024 * 768, although preferably 1366 * 768 or above (see sidebar).
