Win8.1 navigation optimization Startup into the desktop and other settings skills

We know that Microsoft's cross-platform operating system, Windows 8, not only provides familiar Windows traditional desktops, but also provides touch screen devices with color dynamic or static tiles (start screen), and Win8. 1 After the system is started, it will go directly to the “Start Screen” interface. The new interface gives users a lot of freshness and brings some confusion: for example, users entering the Win8.1 traditional desktop need to click on the “Desktop” tile or press the shortcut keys such as “Win+D”, so many people use the traditional desktop. Users have been thinking of ways to get the Win8 system directly into the Windows traditional desktop after booting, so someone uses a third-party application or modify the registry and so on. Now that the Windows 8.1 preview has been released, Microsoft has done a lot of interface and function optimizations in this upgraded version of Win8, such as more flexible and rich tile performance, adding start buttons, etc. One of the most important points is that After the system starts, it directly enters the Windows traditional desktop. However, many users have not found this setting option after installing the Win8.1 preview version. In fact, it is hidden in the Win8.1 preview version of the "Taskbar and Navigation Properties" setting. In the panel, let's take a look at the specific setup method and more related new features.
