I can confirm as well that if I log out without restarting, that the desktop will come up once I log back in. Bug report submitted. Ticket ID: ESW-631-75523

The laptop is a Dell XPS 15 running an i5 processor clocked at 2.53 gHz. Hard drive is a standard drive running at 7200 rpm. I let it sit for awhile (more than 5 minutes) and it never switches to the desktop. The start button is there when I open the desktop manually.

64 bit, manual login, v1.0 of Start 8. Just downloaded it today and checked for updates.

Bought Start 8 for the release version of Windows 8 Pro and everything works fine except for bypassing Metro on startup. Made sure the option was checked. Tried several times so far. Did MS manage to block this somehow?
