    I just bought a new lap top with Win 10. Please forgive my ignorance. I have a lot of experience with XP and Win.7 but with 10 I'm a dummy. How can I get it to open and skip to the desk top?

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    The issue may occur if you have turned on the Tablet mode.

    Follow the steps below to turn off the tablet mode:

    1. Click Settings on the Start Menu.
    2. Select System.
    3. Select Tablet mode in the left pane. A Tablet mode submenu appears.
    4. You can see something about "Make Windows more touch-friendly . . ." Toggle it
    off to go to desktop mode.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

    It should open to the desktop once you log in. Are you asking if there is a way to skip the login screen?
