When my Windows 10 starts, I can only get the Start Screen, and not the Desktop. I must have clicked some wrong Settings options somewhere. When I click on the Start Button, nothing happens, and I would like to switch back to my Desktop Screen. Is there a fix?

You likely either configured the computer to "Use Start full screen"
Settings -> Personalization -> Start -> move the slider to the "Off" position
OR
You've toggled on Tablet mode bottom right of screen on taskbar Notification Icon
Click it and then click Tablet Mode to toggle in on or off.

Thanks, Trouble! Going into Settings and turning "Tablet Mode" off did the trick. It's so nice to be able to access my Desktop once again. Nice work!
