How To Directly Boot Into Desktop In Windows 8.1?

Windows 8 Operating System, was a very different experience for Windows users. It was entirely different from its predecessors and brought in new features into it too. 

Windows 8 had a major UI overhaul than its predecessors. And users really needed a tutorial class, before they could actually start using Windows 8 as a daily driver.

Some major design changes include the introduction of Start Screen, the removal or the Start Menu etc.

Talking about the Start Screen, people using Windows 8 would first boot into the Start Screen, from where they could shift to the Desktop manually.

Since the preview version of the Windows 8 was launched, users really felt this feature really annoying.  As now, they would be booted into the Start Screen, from where they needed to manually shift to the Desktop view. 

To solve this issue, many third-party developers made tools that would help Windows 8 users boot into desktop directly, without being taken to the Start Menu. 

These utilities for Windows 8 were free of cost, and anyone could easily download these utilities over the web, and then set it up to directly boot into desktop view.
