I'm having a problem with Win 8.1 (on a dedicated HTPC)... when the system boots up, it goes to the start screen instead of XMBC. XBMC is loaded, because when I use the cursor keys or my remote, I can hear it responding to navigation clicks, but it won't display until I use the mouse to click the tile (and then it switches automatically and all is well).
This only happens with a clean boot. If I suspend the HTPC and then resume, it (mostly) works ok. Sometimes the taskbar will have focus over XMBC, and won't go away until I mouse click on XBMC.
Any ideas?
Did you select xbmclauncher as shell during installation and to start xbmc on startup? Otherwise the desktop will start normally.

Exit gives me a c++ runtime error that the program is shutting down abnormally or something like that. Then I get a message that XBMC has stopped working . IN both cases then a mouse is required to click ok or a keyboard I suppose.
Not even uninstalling fixes the problems it caused
IMHO this seems toxic, and I may be left now with a reformat and I was only interested in running xbmc as the shell
I hope that others here consider themselves warned
Did you try reinstalling xbmc? It may solve the problem. I'm unaware of this problem as nobody has posted it before.
