And whats the problem? You can switch content controls when window loads depending on logic from app config – Mitklantekutli Nov 19 '15 at 12:51

Based on your question, I think you want to select Window during startup. You can do this by modifying the App.xaml. Please refer this link for full details

If you want to do it during runtime easier option would be to modify your design to have user controls rather than windows. Then you can hide/disable functionality of the relevant control during run time.
