Why can't I add more tiles to the start menu in windows 10?
You are getting a message that some of your settings are locked by policy. That creates an inference of a couple things. One, you are a member of a domain and the domain admin has locked the Start Menu for some reason to prevent customization. This is quite common in managed domains as it allows a user a predefined set of programs (and now apps) to be accessed on a corporate client machine. You need to not only have Administrator privileges on your machine but must have Domain Administrator privileges in order to gain the control you desire. Second alternative (and this one would be quite rare) is that you are logged on as a local user even though you 'own' the machine either by not creating an admin account or through an error during the original install (this actually happened with some early preview builds although I am unaware of such since the RTM). The Administrator account determines what rights and privileges are granted to the normal users on the machine and if locked down you will be unable to change these setting other than by logging on as the Administrator and altering those locks in the Settings app so that they are editable by normal users. Third, and final alternative (and one I seriously DON'T recommend) is to go old school Windows and run as an Administrator full time. This will have the effect of reducing your security by approximately 90% whereas running as a normal user gives you about the same level of security as operating under Linux, OS X or UNIX. Your choice but you need to first find out who 'manages' your system.P.S. - You say it is a new install. When first installing the installer asks you if the computer belongs to you or is is part of an organization. If you select the latter of the two, "part of an organization" the system installs with NO administrator account by default and every user on the machine is a normal user. When you log on the system will 'look' for a domain controller to obtain user rights and settings. Without this connection you end up with a system locked as yours is. Because you can't connect to a domain controller to create a local administrator account on the system the only fix, I am sorry to say, is to reinstall the OS.
Windows 8: Does anyone like the start screen?
Yes, it's very functional and highly customisable.But I also like it for the very bold statement Microsoft decided to make while iOS and Android were at the time pretty much the dictating design language.It's fair to say that Microsoft had been a little conservative in some of their design decisions since Windows 95. We basically just got evolutions of that design language all the way through to Windows 7. Sure there were some excellent technological developments under the skin (and some not so good of course). However this in effect made these new ways of interacting with the OS more obtuse. Old interface with new technologies was getting ever more difficult to overcome.Something quite radical was needed to shake up the Windows economy. Not content to play 'me too' and just do a variation of iOS/Andoid they came up with the 'Metro' design language.IMHO, a really great attempt to bridge traditional computing with new modern ways of interacting with our devices and applications. While at the same time maintaining as much as possible the greatest and most unique feature of Windows: extensive backwards compatibility. No mean feat!It was a big change and as is always the case with such big changes it met with a lot of fierce resistance. However the concept is slowly beginning to mature. The Microsoft Surface 3 Pro is a really good example of where its at now and that is quite possibly one of the best devices overall to market in 2014.Windows 10 (nee Windows 9) will again see the design language take another leap forward (it already is in fact, see Windows 10 Tech Previews.)
What does your Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 start screen with the new folders feature look like?
I haven't used the folders yet. I try to stick to using one app of a certain type. If I have similar apps I group their tiles together. You can see on my fourth line I have all my social media apps, FB, Reddit, IG, and Quora.
How do you get rid of the tiles/ start thing on windows 8?
The easiest way is to boot past the Start screen at login... ...drag 'Desktop' tile all the way over to the far left and set it in a 'group' of it's own, (underneath the 'Start' word); next time you login, type your password, (or not), but don't click on anything on the screen, your icon or the arrow to 'go, instead press and hold 'Enter' on your keyboard til the desktop screen shows up and there you go. Don't ditch the Start menu, you may need to look up subfolders sometime in the future.

The answer is no.
