Windows 8 Start Screen shows a rectangle tile of the Desktop which allows you to switch to the desktop from Start Screen. Due to some unknown reasons, sometimes the Desktop tile gets deleted from Windows 8 Start Screen.
You can follow these simple steps to fix the problem:
1. Press "Win+R" keys together to open RUN dialog box. Copy the following string in the text box and press Enter:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
This string will open the "Programs" folder containing various shortcuts which are shown at Start Screen or "All Apps" page.
2. Download the Desktop tile shortcut using following link:
It is a ZIP file, extract it and you'll find a file "Desktop" in the extracted folder.
3. Copy "Desktop" file from the extracted folder and paste it in the "Programs" folder which you opened using step 1.
4. As soon as you copy the shortcut, Desktop tile will be added automatically to Start Screen. If you still don't see the tile, you can re-pin it using "All Apps" page. Now it'll appear on that page.
