How to Show the Desktop By Right-Clicking the Taskbar
You can also show the Desktop quickly by right-clicking on the taskbar. When a menu pops up, select “Show The Desktop.”
As with the methods above, all of your application windows will be temporarily hidden. To bring them back, right-click on the taskbar again. This time, select “Show Open Windows,” and they will return just as they were before.
How to Show the Desktop Using a Keyboard Shortcut
If you’d prefer to use a keyboard shortcut to temporarily hide your application windows and show the Desktop, press Windows+D. Like the ‘Show Desktop’ button, this shortcut works as a toggle. To bring back your application windows, press Windows+D again.
Further Adventures in Showing the Desktop
If you have a mouse or pointing device with extra buttons, it’s usually possible to assign the “Show Desktop” function to a button. For example, you could configure the middle scroll wheel button this way, and when you’d like to quickly see your desktop, just click the button. Configurations vary, depending on the mouse utility software (or drivers) you are using. Whichever way you set it up, you’ll probably feel like you are using Windows 10 more efficiently. Have fun!
