The “Metro” tile interface introduced with Windows 8 hasn’t been a popular feature. With Windows 8.1 Microsoft made a change that allows you to boot directly to the desktop. This enables you to bypass the new start menu interface.
These are the simple steps you need to follow:
After booting up Windows 8.1 click on the Desktop icon to enter the desktop.
- Right click in an empty area of the taskbar at the bottom of the desktop and select “Properties”.
- Click the “Navigation” tab.
- In the “Start Screen” area make sure there is a tick in the box “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start”.
- Click “Apply” and “OK”
That’s all you need to do. Next time your start your PC you will be taken directly to the desktop.
