Signing into gmail takes me to my google account page, not my inbox

On my laptop, when I sign in on the Gmail login page it lands me on the Google Account settings page instead of my emails. Then I have to find Gmail in the app grid every time. How do I get it to open straight into the inbox?

You're landing on the account page because that's where the generic google sign-in sends you. Go to mail.google.com directly, or use the grid of dots top right and pick Gmail. If it still won't show an inbox, check what address the account is on - google accounts made with a non-gmail email address never had gmail switched on, so there's no inbox to open.
