In case you didn’t like the first suggestion, here is a freebee. It will
“clicking the mouse and pressing the Windows key opens the Start menu or the Windows 8 Start screen. And you can opt to boot directly to the desktop and bypass the Start screen entirely.”

For the Zone community, I do not know if this is accessible. I have not installed it, because I have no desire to fix Windows 8. I like it as is.
This comes from a solid source however, so for Doug,it works.
