Microsoft没有为将Windows 8设置为直接启动到桌面(Desktop)并跳过新的开始(Start)屏幕提供任何支持。没有可用的注册表设置，没有组策略(group policy)，并且大多数适用于Windows 8测试版本的黑客在最终版本中都不起作用。由于很多人都希望在Windows 8中使用此功能，微软(Microsoft)放弃了，并且在Windows 8.1中只需点击几下即可完成。以下是如何设置Windows 8.1和Windows 8以启动到桌面(Desktop)。
如何在Windows 8.1中(Windows 8.1)启动(Boot)到桌面(Desktop)
注意：(NOTE:)如果您使用的是原始Windows 8版本，请跳过此部分并阅读下面的内容。
在Windows 8.1中，可以在(Windows 8.1)“任务栏和导航属性”("Taskbar and Navigation properties")窗口中找到相应的设置。要打开它，您有多种选择。最快的方法是转到桌面(Desktop)并右键单击任务栏（或点击并按住(tap and hold)）。在上下文菜单中，单击或点击(click or tap) 属性(Properties)。
或者，您可以打开控制面板(Control Panel)并转到“外观和个性化”("Appearance and Personalization")。在那里，单击或点击“任务栏和导航”("Taskbar and Navigation")。
在“任务栏和导航属性”("Taskbar and Navigation properties")窗口中，单击或点击导航(Navigation)选项卡。
在“开始”屏幕(Start screen)部分中，选中“当我登录或关闭屏幕上的所有应用程序时，转到桌面而不是开始”("When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start")框。另一个值得启用的设置是“当我按下 Windows 徽标键时在我正在使用的显示器上显示开始”("Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows logo key")，这样您就可以在桌面上快速访问(Desktop)开始(Start)。
然后，单击或点击确定(OK)，您就完成了。下次您登录Windows 8.1时，它会将您直接带到桌面(Desktop)。
以前的Windows 8解决方案不起作用或有副作用(Side)
许多网站发布了几种使Windows 8将您直接带到桌面的解决方案。我们的朋友在How-To Geek中分享了少数仍然有效的方法之一：如何在 Windows 8 中启动到桌面和跳过 Metro(How to Boot to the Desktop & Skip Metro in Windows 8)。但是，此解决方案有一些副作用。
首先(First)，它并没有真正将您带到桌面(Desktop)，而是将您带到File Explorer。此外，一些Windows 8应用程序（例如SkyDrive）停止工作，因为文件资源管理器(File Explorer)是以管理员权限启动的。
用于Windows 8测试版本的其他黑客和工具不再有效。
我们的 Windows 8 解决方案- 无副作用(Side)
我们创建了一个特殊的.exe文件，必须将其设置为在登录时运行。此文件会在“开始(Start)”屏幕开始加载后立即发送加载桌面的命令。(Desktop)因此，在几秒钟内，您就会自动转到桌面(Desktop)。
您可以在下面看到有关工作原理的视频。
我们的解决方案的优点在于它没有副作用，即使Microsoft进一步更新以阻止使 Windows 8 直接启动到桌面(Desktop)的解决方案，它也应该继续工作。
我们还有一个替代解决方案，在文章末尾分享，以防第一个不适合您。
下载并使用(Download & Use)我们的Windows 8专用文件(File)
与How-To Geek(How-To Geek)中的解决方案类似，您需要创建一个计划任务，该任务在每次登录时运行并启动我们提供的特殊文件。但首先，下载本文底部的存档并解压其中的文件(file inside)。
在开始(Start)屏幕上键入单词 schedule(word schedule)。单击(Click)或点按设置(Settings)以打开相应的结果列表，然后单击或点按计划任务(Schedule tasks)。
在任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)窗口中，单击或点击创建任务(Create Task)。该按钮位于右侧的“操作”面板中。(Actions)
创建任务(Create Task)窗口打开。在“常规(General)”选项卡中，为任务提供名称，仅选中“仅在用户登录时运行”("Run only when user is logged on")框，然后在“配置为”("Configure for")下拉框中，选择Windows 8。应取消选中此选项卡中的所有其他设置。
然后，转到Triggers选项卡并按New。
现在您设置文件何时运行。在“开始任务”("Begin the task")下拉列表中，选择“登录时”("At log on")。
在Settings部分中选择Any user并确保触发器是Enabled。应取消选中所有其他设置。完成触发器设置后，单击或点击(trigger click or tap) OK。
这是设置触发器后“触发器(Trigger)”选项卡的外观。
转到“操作(Actions)”选项卡并按“新建”(New)。
现在您需要设置任务以运行我们提供的文件，一旦您刚刚设置的触发器被激活。在操作(Action)下拉列表中，选择“启动程序”("Start a program")。在Program/script字段中，按浏览(Browse)并选择我们提供的可执行文件。确保(Make)选择exe 文件(exe file)，而不是存档中包含的快捷方式文件(shortcut file)。
然后，按确定(OK)并转到条件(Conditions)选项卡。在此处取消选中“仅在计算机使用交流电源时启动任务”("Start the task only if the computer is on AC power")设置的框。
完成所有设置后，按OK。该任务现在已创建并在每次登录时运行。
Windows 8 的替代解决方案
另一种解决方案是使用存档中包含的发送桌面(Send Desktop)文件（不是可执行文件）并将其复制到安装了Windows 8的驱动器的以下文件夹中：ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup。
该文件将在登录过程结束时运行。它将首先加载开始(Start)屏幕，然后将您带到桌面(Desktop)。这样，桌面(Desktop)将比以前的解决方案加载得晚。但是，如果第一个解决方案对您来说效果不佳，它可能是一个不错的选择。
另一个适用于Windows 8(Windows 8)的优雅解决方案-绕过现代 UI 工具(Bypass Modern UI Tool)
一位德国程序员开发了一个免费工具，您可以使用它来实现相同的效果。在某些情况下，它比我们的解决方案效果更好。该应用程序对Windows 8(Windows 8) 许可系统(licensing system)进行了一些更改，以减少强制用户启动到Start的限制。您可以在下面找到使用此工具后 Windows 8 如何工作的视频。
但是，有副作用和需要考虑的重要事项：
- Microsoft 的最新更新 - KB2770917 - 撤消了此应用程序应用的修复。因此，您将需要重新运行该工具，甚至可能需要处理一些烦恼，例如重新激活您的Windows 8副本。
- 在激活的机器上安装它可能会导致“未激活”状态。因此，您必须重新激活Windows 8。
该工具可以从这里下载：直接登录到桌面（绕过现代 UI）(Login directly to Desktop (Bypass Modern UI))。下载链接(download link)在参考文章的末尾。
提取存档文件。在里面你会发现两个文件：一个以 x64 结尾（用于Windows 8(Windows 8)的 64 位版本），另一个以 x86 结尾（用于 Windows 8(Windows 8)的 32 位版本）。
运行适用于您的Windows 8版本的文件。如果您需要一些帮助，请查看本教程：如何确定您安装的Windows版本。(Version)
运行该工具可能会触发Windows SmartScreen警告。要了解有关它的更多信息，请阅读本教程：什么是SmartScreen 过滤器及其(SmartScreen Filter & How)工作原理？。
选择“仍然运行”("Run anyway")并安装该工具所做的更改。
您的 Windows 8 计算机将自动重新启动。下次登录时，您将直接进入桌面(Desktop)。
结论
我们的解决方案应该适用于所有Windows 8和Windows 8.1计算机和设备。如果您遇到问题，请随时告诉我们。如果需要，我们将尝试帮助和更新文件。有关Windows 8的其他很酷的提示和技巧，请查看我们在下面推荐的文章。

How to Boot to the Desktop in Windows 8 & Windows 8.1
Microsoft did not provide any sυpport for setting Windows 8 to boot strаight to the Desktop and skip the new Start screen. There was no registry setting available, no group policy and most of the hacks that worked with the test versions of Windows 8 do not work in the final version. Since many people want this feature in Windows 8, Microsoft gave in and, in Windows 8.1 is can be done with just a few clicks. Here's how to set both Windows 8.1 and Windows 8, to boot to the Desktop.
How to Boot to the Desktop in Windows 8.1
NOTE: If you are using the original Windows 8 release, skip this section and read the ones below it.
In Windows 8.1, the appropriate setting is found in the "Taskbar and Navigation properties" window. To open it, you have several options. The fastest is to go to the Desktop and right click on the taskbar (or tap and hold). In the contextual menu, click or tap Properties.
Alternatively, you can open the Control Panel and go to "Appearance and Personalization". There, click or tap "Taskbar and Navigation".
In the "Taskbar and Navigation properties" window, click or tap the Navigation tab.
In the Start screen section, check the box which says "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start". Another setting that is worth enabling is "Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows logo key", so that you have a quick way to access the Start while on the Desktop.
Then, click or tap OK and you are done. The next time you log into Windows 8.1, it will take you straight to the Desktop.
Previous Solutions for Windows 8 Don't Work or Have Side Effects
Many websites published several solutions for making Windows 8 take you straight to the desktop. One of the few that still works was shared by our friends from How-To Geek: How to Boot to the Desktop & Skip Metro in Windows 8. However, this solution has some side effects.
First of all, it doesn't really take you to the Desktop but to File Explorer. Also, some Windows 8 apps (e.g. SkyDrive) stopped working because File Explorer was launched with administrator permissions.
Other hacks and tools that used to work with the test versions of Windows 8 no longer work at all.
Our Solution(s) for Windows 8 - No Side Effects
We created a special .exe file that must be set to run at log on. This file sends the command to load the Desktop as soon as the Start screen starts loading. Therefore, in a matter of seconds, you are automatically taken to the Desktop.
Below you can see a video of how things work.
The great thing about our solution is that it has no side effects and it should continue to work even if Microsoft makes further updates to block solutions that make Windows 8 boot directly to the Desktop.
We also have an alternate solution, shared at the end of the article, just in case the first doesn't work that well for you.
Download & Use Our Special File for Windows 8
Similarly to the solution from How-To Geek, you need to create a scheduled task that runs at every log on and launches a special file we provide. But first, download the archive found at the bottom of this article and extract the file inside.
On the Start screen type the word schedule. Click or tap Settings to open the appropriate list of results and then click or tap Schedule tasks.
In the Task Scheduler window, click or tap on Create Task. The button is found in the Actions panel, on the right.
The Create Task window is opened. In the General tab, provide a name for the task, check only the box which says "Run only when user is logged on" and in the "Configure for" drop down box, select Windows 8. All the other settings in this tab should be unchecked.
Then, go to the Triggers tab and press New.
Now you set when the file will be run. In the "Begin the task" drop down list, select "At log on".
In the Settings section select Any user and make sure the trigger is Enabled. All the other settings should be unchecked. When done setting the trigger click or tap OK.
This is how the Trigger tab looks like once the trigger has been set.
Go to the Actions tab and press New.
Now you need to set the task to run the file we provided, once the trigger you just set is activated. In the Action drop down list, select "Start a program". In the Program/script field, press Browse and select the executable file we provided. Make sure you select the exe file, not the shortcut file included in the archive.
Then, press OK and go to the Conditions tab. Here uncheck the box for the "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" setting.
When done making all the settings, press OK. The task is now created and runs at each log on.
Alternate Solution for Windows 8
Another solution is to use the Send Desktop file we included in the archive (not the executable) and copy it to the drive where Windows 8 is installed, in the following folder: ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup.
This file will be run at the end of the logon procedure. It will first way for the Start screen to load and then take you to the Desktop. This way, the Desktop will be loaded later than with the previous solution. However, it can be a good alternative if the first solution doesn't work too well for you.
Another Elegant Solution for Windows 8 - The Bypass Modern UI Tool
A german programmer has developed a free tool that you can use for the same effect. In certain situations it works better than our solution. The application makes a few changes to the Windows 8 licensing system to cut the restriction that forces users to boot to the Start. Below you can find a video of how Windows 8 works once this tool is used.
However, there are side effects and important things to consider:
- A recent update from Microsoft - KB2770917 - undoes the fix applied by this application. Therefore, you will need to rerun the tool and maybe even take care of annoyances like re-activating your copy of Windows 8.
- Installing this on an activated machine may result in a "Not Activated" state. Therefore, you have to re-activate Windows 8.
The tool can be downloaded from here: Login directly to Desktop (Bypass Modern UI). The download link is at the end of the referenced article.
Extract the archive file. Inside you will find two files: one with x64 at the end (for 64-bit editions of Windows 8) and one with x86 (for 32-bit editions of Windows 8).
Run the file that's appropriate for your edition of Windows 8. If you need some help with that, check this tutorial: How to Determine What Version of Windows You Have Installed.
Running the tool might trigger a Windows SmartScreen warning. To learn more about it, read this tutorial: What is the SmartScreen Filter & How Does it Work?.
Choose "Run anyway" and install the changes made by the tool.
Your Windows 8 computer is automatically restarted. The next time you log it, you are taken straight to the Desktop.
Conclusion
Our solutions should work on all Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 computers and devices. If you encounter issues, don't hesitate to let us know. We will try to help and update the files, if needed. For other cool tips and tricks about Windows 8, check the articles we recommend below.
