You can set Windows 8.1 to launch directly into your desktop by adjusting the startup settings in the Control Panel or using PowerShell commands. This bypasses the initial login screen and starts the desktop immediately.

Click the Windows icon at the bottom left in those settings, and you'll find a choice to launch Desktop instead of the start screen.

Check out Start8 – it costs just a few pounds or dollars, but it eliminates the modern interface from Windows 8/8.1 and swaps it for a perfect replica of the Windows 7 start menu. While some free tools offer similar features, none match Start8's quality.
