Why does my Desktop appear whenever I close an app in Windows 8.1?

It used to be that when I closed an app in Windows 8.1, the "Start" screen would appear. That's the screen where it displays all the apps.

Now, no matter what app I close out, it brings me to my Desktop! I don't want my Desktop to appear! I use my Desktop for some things, but most of my work lately has been app-based.

Currently, the Desktop appears, then I have to close the Desktop in order to get back to my Start screen.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
