I haven’t used Windows 8.1 much at all because the menu rearrangement in Windows 8 was awful; at least to me.
I’m replacing a hard drive in a laptop, and this person wants me to put Windows 8.1 back on the laptop, which I have.
However, it’s tough to say if this is how Windows 8 is supposed to act or not with the new start menu; wouldn’t think so.
When I first install Windows 8.1, Windows boots up to the screen shot in picture A, and I believe Windows 8.1 is supposed to boot up each time as the screen shows in A.
However, after I install all the Windows 8.1 updates, restart the laptop, and Windows 8.1 comes back straight to the desktop as shown in picture B.
I do believe Windows 8.1 should still come up like A all the time, and I am sure that’s what this user wants.
Is there a way to change Windows 8.1 to start back like A and not B? Wonder how this got changed?

Windows 8.1 start menu

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
