Is there any way to skip the start menu and go straight to the desktop (without disabling Modern UI)? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
You can use this app to help you: RetroUI
Solution 2:
In addition to RetroUI, you can also use 3rd party Start Menu apps that include an option to bypass/skip the Windows 8 Start Screen and log in straight to the desktop:
-
Start8
Boot directly to the Windows 8 desktop
-
Pokki
Boot to the desktop and skip the Windows 8 Start Screen
-
Wentutu
Users can boot directly to the desktop mode automatically and skip Start screen of Windows 8
