Which side are you on? If you are for the latter, you are capable of making Windows 8 boot to desktop through creating a new task in Task Scheduler. And this text will show you how to do it according to the steps below.
Step 1: Press the composite key of Windows key+W to go to Settings in Search bar, and enter schedule tasks in the empty search box, as it is exhibited in the following screenshot.

In Task Scheduler, choose Task Scheduler Library on the left list, right click any blank space in the middle and select Create New Task in the context menu. Please refer to the following picture.
Step 4: When the Create Task window appears, in General, enter display desktop or show desktop in the empty box beside Name.
Step 5: Select Triggers on the top left, and then tap New button on the bottom left.
