Solved Windows 8 desktop not loading automatically at start

Hi,
When log in , just after loading "Metro" interface I try to press window key to go to "classic desktop" but until I start some application or even Control Panel it does not appear loaded.

I think you have to press: winkey+d to go to desktop, at least for the 1st run, after you can switch using only winkey.
Not sure, maybe some expert can give better advice.

Thank you! That worked for me!

Yes. The reason is that the Windows key takes you to the previous running app. The Desktop, as far as Windows 8 is concerned, is like one of the Metro apps. So if it's not running, the Windows key won't take you there. But if you start the app (e.g., with Windows + d) then it's running all the time unless you explicitly close it. And the Windows key will take you there. That is, of course, until you start another Metro app running...

Thanks for such explicit explanation!
