Re: Too many items in start menu

It is the number recently opened items you have on your Start Menu.

Right click on the Start Orb, select Properties, Start Menu tab, Customize
button, Start menu size (middle of main page below the scrollable window) adjust
Number of recent programs to display: until the notification goes away.

No need to change your resolution.
