Windows 8.1 Start Screen won't run Low Screen Res

Post by gshields »

I have a MacBook Pro with the latest version of VirtualBox and the VirtualBox Guest Extension. Windows 8.1 (64-bit) is the VM
When I'm at the "Start Screen", no apps save for any apps that run on the desktop will run due to "Low Screen Resolution" even though the screen resolution is at 1280x765. Only when I lower the screen resolution to 1024 x 768 will the start screen apps work. This is weird. Does anyone have any thoughts?
