How to Quickly Show the Desktop in Windows 10



Microsoft has two cool tricks for showing the desktop.

What does showing the desktop mean?   All application windows will minimize and only the Windows desktop will display.  It's a quick way when you need to get to files and folders that are on your desktop.

The first trick is not very intuitive.  If fact, it's almost a hidden trick.  Even if you've been using Windows 10 for a while, you've probably overlooked it.

It's been there all along.
