I think that grub is not working properly.

Why do you think GRUB is at fault? And your post is confusing...did you install Windows 8.1 *AFTER* installing openSUSE, or did you install openSUSE THEN Windows?? What you posted can be read either way. And again, as you've been asked before, why are you loading old software?? Windows 10 would be far better. And any of the very-easily-found dual-booting guides, along with the HUNDREDS of threads on this very site will tell you to load Windows *FIRST*, then load Linux.
From there, you can again follow any of the easily-found guides, such as this one...one of the first hits for "dual boot windows 8.1 and opensuse 42.3", and actually follow the instructions:

From yast I have entered into bootloader I have tried various resolutions and tried to boot into Windows but none worked fine I mean when I try to boot into Windows the login screen is not displayed properly and half of the screen is filled with blank screen and remaining screen is filled with login screen of Windows. Due to the above issue I am not able to enter my username and password. Finally making changes in the bootloader which is present in yast I am able to boot into Windows properly and everything is working fine. The changes I have made is I have removed tick mark called use graphical mode while booting using grub I mean using console mode.
In Windows I have installed amd graphics driver and in Linux I have not installed any other graphics driver on my own. I don't know what's the exact problem. Please try to suggest how to boot properly into Windows using grubs graphical mode. Is there any necessity to install the latest version of amd graphics driver other than the one provided default by opensuse for proper functioning of Linux.

So you're having a Windows graphics problem....and you think that loading the AMD drive for LINUX is going to help? One doesn't affect the other. And again, isn't this the same laptop you have botched installations on before, where you posted "but even windows8 is not working properly on the same laptop."???

So...same laptop from three years ago, where you stated explicitly you had Windows 8 problems...and you're still working on this? After three YEARS? Again, load Windows 10...latest OS, not old stuff that you already KNOW won't work. Then do YOUR OWN RESEARCH and find one of the many how-to guides about dual-booting. Don't ask us to (essentially) look things up for you yet again.
