[Bypass Windows 8 Start screen on Start-up (go direct to desktop]

joe645 · 2013/03/13

How do I (simple way) get my Windows 8 OS to start and go directly to my desktop instead of their startup screen?

I tried several 3rd party applications and I settled for Start8 (5 bucks): http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/download.asp

Please follow our Posting Rules (#3 - Meaningful Subject).

I have adjusted your subject.

You might wonder why a good subject is important. First it will act as a 'filter' for people that might be interested in reading your post. With just a subject of "Need Help with my computer" (or other general subjects), quite a few members will just skip your post. Furthermore, it would force one of our staff members to read your post & decide on the appropriate title. This takes time away from answering posts.

Another reason why we ask for appropriate titles is that this makes the WindowsBBS search more useful. If you post "I receive an error STOP: 0x00000050 after the desktop loads ", a user doing a search on the "STOP: 0x00000050" error will most likely find your post in his search results & may be able to solve his problem with the solution (you hopefully received).

Using a good subject line is also helpful to Internet search engines (Google, MSN and others), it helps them to properly index your post, so when another user is searching for an answer to the same (or similar) problem/issue he may come across your post.

I would also highly recommend Start8 - used it from virtually Day 1 with 8 - there is a free trial I believe.
