Show Desktop on Windows 11

admin

After bringing back the quick lunch taskbar in Windows 11, after an update my Show Desktop shortcut vanished. I know there is the same functionality in the bottom right corner but after so many years I want it where it was!

So the solution? Right click on Desktop > Create shortcut > (paste) %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257} > (type) Show Desktop > Next and done! Right click on the shortcut and change icon!

After that move the shortcut in the quick lunch folder!
