Tiles in start menu provide you quick access to the applications, this gives you ease of access the applications without wasting time searching for any particular app.

Start menu supports four sizes of live tiles which are small, medium, wide, and large. You can easily change the size of any live tile by right-clicking on tile, select Resize and then click the sizes that suit to provide you an ease of access.

If anyone wants to add more application tiles on the Start menu at a glance when you click the Windows button without scrolling down to search, you can either reduce the size of tiles or increase of the width of the Start menu.
