Windows 8.1 update hides tile interface by default

Ah, now if they would just disable the tile interface entirely for desktops, that would just grand.<p>I have recently switched to using Win8.1 full time as my main work desktop, and I really don&#x27;t use the tile interface at all after just a couple weeks.<p>Because when I want to just play one of my own MP3s, I don&#x27;t really need to be looking at a full-screen advertisement of the latest from 50 Cent. Thankfully, Windows Media Player is still there (though harder to find), and I was able to switch that to be the default.
