If you want to disable Backstage View when saving in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, … you can set it with a Group Policy Object (GPO), a script or manually
To disable the Backstage View manually, just click:
FILE > OPTIONS > SAVE > and check “Don’t show the Backstage when opening or saving files”.
This has to be set for each person, in every profile, on every machine. That can be a lot of work so you may want to use a script or a GPO. The problem is there is no GPO for the Backstage view when saving. Fortunately, there is a registry entry as such you CAN easily create a GPO to push that registry setting.

“SkipOpenAndSaveAsPlace”=dword:00000001
