Windows 10: desktop view

In W10 .... how do I switch from the start screen (with tiles) to a desktop with conventional icons?

:)

 

Desktop View

Thank you sir, It do solve my problem.... Thanks once again for your prompt response...

 

Desktop View

In Windows Phone 8.1, the user agent string used to tell websites you want the Desktop website was changed for the worse, and as a result, the phone now fails on the majority of websites in giving you the desktop version. There's no fix until Microsoft
reverses these changes.

 

Hello wdc, *Smile

It sounds like you may be in tablet mode. If so, turning it off will allow you to see the desktop.

Brink: Thanks. I <believe> I have turned off tablet Mode But I still don't see how to switch from the Start tiles view to Desktop. ??

 

In that case press the Windows+D keys to see if that takes you to your desktop.

If it does, then you may have Start set to full screen.

I googled for that answer myself and I was told to go to IE options/programs and check open with desktop. I am not at my laptop and not sure of the wording, but it gives you 2 options one to open on the tile screen or desktop. Worked for me.

I use FF but it still worked.
