Boot Windows 8.1 straight to Desktop

One of the new features in Windows 8.1 is a direct start to the desktop. I will show you how to set this feature up.

Go to Start screen and click Desktop.

Desktop shows up.

Right click on taskbar and select Properties.

Select Navigation tab.

Check When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start and click OK.

Next time you will log in, the system will automatically open the desktop.
