    Windows 10 Boot to Start Screen

    When you start your Windows 10 PC, it will automatically boot to the desktop.

    Steps to make Windows 10 boot to Start Screen:

    Step 1: Go to replace the Start Menu with the Start Screen.

    Step 2: Turn on the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog.

    Right-tap any blank area on the taskbar, and choose Properties in the menu.

    Step 3: Deselect related setting in the Navigation settings.

    Click the Navigation tab, deselect the setting called When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start, and then choose OK.

    Later, when you restart or log in your PC, the computer will boot to Start Screen instead of desktop.

  3. Boot to Start Menu instead of Desktop Windows 10

    Hi Lollyann,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    As the above description is not clear, do let us know if you are referring to Start button on the Task bar that helps you to boot to Start menu from desktop?

    If you are referring to Start button on the Task bar, try the below and check if it helps.

    This issue might be due to corrupted or missing System files.
    I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps:

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press
      CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • Click File > Run New Task.
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”.
    • Type CMD.
    • Type the following 4 commands at the CMD prompt:

    • sfc /scannow

    • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    • powershell

    • Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    6. Close the CMD window.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.
