Boot to Desktop on Sign-in
Now, the feature of booting, directly, to desktop, instead of Start Screen has been enabled in Windows 8.1. Remember this is not enabled by default.
You are needed to enable the option, by going to taskbar properties. For the purpose, follow the instructions.
1. Right click or tap and hold on taskbar. A pop up menu will appear.
2. Here select ‘Properties’.
