The recent news about Windows 8.1 Update1 is very intensive, and now that this update has a new version, a new default boot setting appears in this build 9600.16608, which goes directly to the desktop system.
Accessing the desktop directly is a feature that Windows 8.1 already has, but in Windows 8.1 Update1, the contactless system will default to the desktop directly after powering on, and no longer needs to be set by the user. Of course, users can also set the boot into the start screen according to their preferences.

This setting is undoubtedly an optimization that continues to experience the use of key-mouse devices, in fact, most of the changes in Windows 8.1 Update1 are directed at this part, such as adding the shutdown and search buttons to the Start screen, which has added a window title bar to Metro apps.
Also, from a leaked screenshot, Metro apps are now not Full-screen, and the windows seem to have returned to the Aero Glass design, although they can only be implemented by modifying the registration code.
