W8.1 Sleep Mode: I just want to "wake up" in the Desktop

Hopeseeker · May 7, 2015

Hi, I use sleep mode most of the times when I stop working on my PC and when it wakes up it goes to a screen where I need to push something to unlock the situation, then you are in the Start screen where there is a lot of bullshit I don't care about and never use, and finally I can find the Desktop icon, click it and I can finally work.

I don't want any password, locked things, nothing. I want my PC to just be ready with the Desktop open, nothing else.

I would like to just go in sleep mode and then push a button and have the desktop ready. It shoul be a very simple request, I hope this can be done.

Right click on the Taskbar
Select Properties
Select the Navigation tab
Play with the checkboxes in "Start screen"

For the Password:
Control Panel
Power Options
"Require a password on wakeup"
Select "Don't require..."

In the password thing I noticed Windows had the "request password" checked. I never set any password but checking the "do not request password" made things better because now when it wakes up it goes straight to the Start screen instead of the "locked-looking screen".
...but

in this place:

Right click on the Taskbar
Select Properties
Select the Navigation tab
Play with the checkboxes in "Start screen"

I found the "go to the Desktop instead of the Start screen" already checked. My Windows just DOES NOT do this. When it wakes up it goes to the Start screen no matter what I check in the Start Screen options. I have no idea why.

hmmm...I don't know either. Mine does not do that.

When I turn off the PC and turn it back on, I have the Desktop as the first thing I see and all is well.

But this does not happen when waking up. When the PC wakes up I have the Start screen as the first thing I see...
