    So I have a dual monitor setup and when I click on button to show my desktop both my monitors start showing the desktop making it very awkward. I wanted to be able to see the desktop on just the monitor I clicked on the button and keep the other one open with the program that was running instead of having to reopen said program. Any way I can do it?

    The button in question

    Show desktop button failing

    If you rt click the tasbar, does clicking 'Show Desktop' work?

    How about Win key + d?

    Make sure this is on:

    One source suggests this to reregister the dll
    regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

    Otherwise, as you say it's not working any more, do you have either
    - a system restore point
    - a disk image
    you created before this happened?

  3. Show Desktop button in taskbar

    Hello Peter,

    The Show Desktop button is just to the right of the Action Center button. It's only a small amount of space to the right of the line.

    If you like, you can create a Show Desktop shortcut that you can pin to the taskbar for easier use.

    cannot find option to pin a Show Desktop button to taskbar

    Hi Sherry,

    There is a button besides the notification are in the taskbar that when clicked, you are directed to the desktop. Also, there are other ways on how you can access the desktop. Here are some:

    • Press Windows key + D on your keyboard.
    • Right-click on the taskbar and click Show the desktop.

    You can also access all the files, shortcuts, programs that you have in the desktop from the Toolbars in the taskbar. Here's how you can enable the feature:

    • Right-click on the taskbar and click Toolbars.
    • Click Desktop.
    • A Desktop label would show on the left side of the notification area and to see the desktop items, click the arrow.

    Let us know if there's anything else you need.
