Windows 10: Can I Change 'Show Desktop' Behaviour/Functionality Beyond The 'Peek' Option?

I've recently added a second monitor to my desktop setup and I'm wanting to change the 'Show Desktop' buttons functionality in a couple of ways. These include adding one to my second display while keeping the one on my main display, and having each of the buttons only affect the display they're present on. I'd also like to add a 'no roll-over' area to the entire height of the 'Show Desktop' button so my cursor doesn't move to the second display.


After some quick searching I can't find a 'Settings' option that would allow me to do this. If this can't be done through a User Interface, then I'd be happy to edit config files if anyone knows the relevant file locations. I would appreciate any assistance.

Let’s turn off the Peek option and check. Follow the below step.

  Right click on the Windows task bar and click on Properties.
  
• 
  Uncheck the option Use Peek to preview the desktop when you move your mouse to the Sow desktop button at the end of the taskbar.

  Now click on Apply and click on
  OK.
  

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

 

Windows 10: Disable Show/Peek at Desktop

Sorry if I don't have the technical expertise to succinctly describe this issue. Every time I minimize a program to go to my desktop, I find that a layer of shade covers the entire desktop so that and I'm unable to click on any icons and unable to right-click.
I take this as being the "Peek at desktop" status. I have to go to the far right my task bar and click the little sliver to enable my desktop, or as Windows calls it - "Show desktop." Is there any way to permanently disable the "Peek at desktop" status or
to set the "Show desktop" status as the default when programs are closed or minimized?

Thanks.
