Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.

I noticed this bullshit a few days ago on my Win 11 desktop! I found if you go check the settings of the start bar, you can hide the copilot icon in the lower right, and then there's a check box to enable the lower right hand corner to work as show desktop again. The functionality can be restore to exactly as it was, but what the hell were they thinking.
Enshitification, plain and simple.
I don't wanna defend Microsoft here cause yk fuck them but I'ma guess most people didn't even know the show desktop was there tbh or if they did use it but then again I've never understood why it was there I never use it
Hide desktop is useful if you have many non-minimized windows and you don't want to minimize each one. I can vouch for that button 😎.
Yeah, I hink its super useful too. But i usually use win+d.
Or if you're a psychopath with a desktop full of icons and files. Shudders
