I only lasted a couple of days with this setting enabled until I realized that I often click the desktop to close popovers/menus, and also when I'm done with a task to put Finder in the foreground so I don't accidentally send keystrokes to another app. Oh, I should add that I don't put files on my desktop so there's little benefit for me.
@@WournosFromTwitch Yeah, I hear you! But due to change aversion, I like to give new features a fair shake to see if its benefits eventually outweigh its downsides. But it was dubious benefit (for me) from the beginning as I rarely have anything on my desktop.
Thank you turned this off, turns out I click on the desktop quite often! This function has been on the F11 key for a long time, so I am used to going there on the odd occasion I might need it.
Maybe because I had just upgraded, then rebooted, and the initial message was still showing on the desktop but unchecking the box didn't do it alone. I had to restart my machine as well.
I tried to get used to "Click to Reveal" but couldn't. I have used Gestures to reveal the desktop since that feature was introduced and find that much more intuitive.
I would probably not use it often but I can see it being helpful sometimes but I wish they had a configuration option for it to only work when there are windows open and obstructing the view of the desktop. Kinda pointless for it to show desktop if there is nothing open. Seems like it was a lazy implementation.
I have dynamic wallpaper on my new Mac and I CANNOT change it. It won't let me set my personal pics or anything else as wallpaper do you know what's wrong please ?
I would have thought it would be easier to have 'click to show desktop'. Then you don't have to drag your pointer all the way over to the hot corner. But then again, click to show desktop is not so quick if you only have a thin band of the desktop showing to be able to click in.
I want the default behaviour (the one that everybody seems to hate and the reason of this video) but it is NOT working for me, I no longer can reveal the desktop I have Sonoma 14.4.1 with OCLP 1.4.3 on a iMac 12,2 (27” mid 2011, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2 GB) Any clue what might be happening? I used a lot that feature and now I have missed it
I need help. My wallpaper became annoying alive. It changes after a few minutes but it is animated while I am working. I need this to be turned off because it is causing a headache
hi sir, I am having an issue with my MacBook Pro 15 Retina mid-2012 (Nvidia GT 650M and Intel HD 4000 graphics cards). It freezes all the time whenever I use any graphics-related file. I tried turning off the graphics card from the battery manager, but it still freezes. with your help, i am using os `Ventura on my Mac and its working fine but It freezes all the time whenever I use any graphics-related file. Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue?
The last time I had to "show desktop" I was using windows circa 2000. This shouldn't be a default, it'll just encourage people to keep crap on their desktop.
@@cgi2173 Initially i did clicked on multiple but later i tried to click on one but the download never finished its just really slow and barely show any progress
A lot of people's going to have a lot of problems with this new release a lot of people will not get it eats up lot ram. If you've got anything under 14 you're gonna struggle
I wish Apple would NOT just turn these things on by default. It's damn annoying! They do this with everything. With iOS 17, all my ringtones were reset and I had to spend about 15 minutes getting back the custom settings I had before the update!
Apple really messed things up with these updates. Switching users is messed up. I go to switch from my wife’s side of the computer to mine it was easy before, just click the user icon on the menu bar and it switches over and then touch the fingerprint thing and boom all good. Now it looks like it switches (goes to the other wall paper) but when you touch the fingerprint thing it just reverts back to the other one unless you click once on the switcher and then again on the new user icon at the bottom and then last but not least you touch the fingerprint thing. Also, my watch will no longer unlock my Mac no matter what I do. And the new watch OS sucks. Just thought I’d vent, lol. 2019 16 inch i9 Mac.

Days? I lasted less than a minute! It was the second thing I changed, desktop image being the first.

When I first upgraded to sonoma I thought I've messed up some settings I do not want this, and then your videos came, thank you 😂🎉
Thank You. This was the most annoying surprise of Sonoma.
Thank you!! That was driving me crazy. I use Hot Corners, and couldn't find where they moved it.
Thanks another gem of knowledge. On a beta that I tried I thought it was a bug, turns out it’s meant to do that. 😂
Thank you so much. This helped me so much. Spent an hour looking how to fix this before finding your video.
Thank you turned this off, turns out I click on the desktop quite often! This function has been on the F11 key for a long time, so I am used to going there on the odd occasion I might need it.
Thank you for your help!! I finally updated my OS and this feature was driving me crazy.
Very useful, thanks. I liked getting rid of quick note more than click on desktop.
Thank you, I actually found it useful so I left it turned on.
Thank you for addressing this very annoying feature.
Thank You!!!! OMG this was driving me absolutely crazy!!!!!!!!
Still can't get the old behaviour back, I often click to desktop to 'lose focus' before opening finder, now I keep opening extra current windows.
This was driving me insane thanks!
I'm on team trackpad & Magic Trackpad... 'Show Desktop': "spread with thumb and three fingers'. Forget Hot Corners.
Maybe because I had just upgraded, then rebooted, and the initial message was still showing on the desktop but unchecking the box didn't do it alone. I had to restart my machine as well.
thanks for showing the setting to turn off 👍
Thank you :)
Thank you so much ❤
Thanks a lot! Was really buggering me.
Thaaaaank you! It's not very clear what it was to turn it off, or to "only in Stage Manager" 😅

This worked. Thank you so much!
Thank you! Just installed the newest update and that annoyed me.
Omg thx you that chit was annoying
This was the first thing I turned off after upgrading.
hated this feature, thx me mac !
Thank you. Who would have known this?
Hot corners are accessible only on Second screen and not the Mac screen? Is that right?
Wow thanks!
I have dynamic wallpaper on my new Mac and I CANNOT change it. It won't let me set my personal pics or anything else as wallpaper do you know what's wrong please ?
Command + F3 is what I use for years. Don’t need hot corner or default sonoma setting.
Depending on the keyboard only F3 is needed. 🙂
If it's not broken, don't fix!
I tried to upgrade to Sonoma from Monterey and now I don’t have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Hopefully they can fix it soon.
Hello, the 1.0.0 opencore patcher works but bluetooth doesn't work on the imac 12.2
I actually like it...
Upgrade to Sonoma... it shows me that "this volume is not compatible with installing Sonoma". what am I doing wrong, please?

Thank you.
Thanks. I am really annoyed as everytime an update comes you need to browse for a solution of a problem you did not want in the first place!!!
Thanks Champ

Hey guys, when you go to the desktop the windows are organized under the toolbar, how do I turn this off?
PLEASE HELP this isn't working for me :( ive already set it to the instructions, and every other combo but its not working and I absolutely hate it
The thing is I use Stage Manager. How do I turn this off as a Stage manager user?
Thanks! 👍
thank you thank you thank you
change to ' only in stage manager' and need to restart the computer.
THANNNNKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUU
omg thank you
thanks alot🤟
This solution does not work for me. I also tried this before came to RUclips but it has the same behaviour if I disable it or not.
1:43, how can i remove this dark board when showing desktop?
I think this one of the best new features. Way faster to use then a hot corner or a button like in Windows.
Windows management is macOS is poor at best, so this is a welcome feature.
THANKYOU!!!!!! (x100)
is there a way i could add this feature on older version of macos?
i really liked this feature but i decided to downgrade
Done
Sir I got Sonoma, I was wondering no WiFi
mr. macintosh, should i update to sonoma with opencore legacy or wait for the ocl update?
It is better to wait, I upgraded but video driver was not working, so went back to Ventura.
The last time I had to "show desktop" I was using windows circa 2000. This shouldn't be a default, it'll just encourage people to keep crap on their desktop.
This did not work! I cannot kill the process with Activity Monitor and files keep downloading.
I tried it and it didn't work, still clearing the desktop with a click of the mouse. Damn.
it still is enabled please help this is so so annoying
About 90% of my coworkers (about 3000 people) hate this feature.
Hallelujah!!!! Thank you. Thank you. God I hate this feature. Now I don't have it. What f witt decided this should be default?
thanks it was really annoying
MacOS Sonoma Wallpapers not downloading ??? Any fix !!!
You can only download one at a time. Are you clicking on multiples to download?
@@cgi2173 Initially i did clicked on multiple but later i tried to click on one but the download never finished its just really slow and barely show any progress
I love this feature. Takes a bit to get used to but it should have always been this way. Maybe add a modifier key to prevent it on the fly if needed.
Nope. Terrible. Goes off all the time when I don't want it. Nope.
This didn't work for me. It's still doing it and its very annoying.
When comms Opencore Legacy patschet
It annoyed me, of course I search to turnt it off
GOD CMON!!! MY MACBOOK AIR DOESNT WORK AT ALL!!!!!!
D:
Alleluja!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you - Super annoying feature
This was STUPID! What were they thinking?
Really annoying. I immediately switched it off
2.5 minutes to explain this?!?!?!
A lot of people's going to have a lot of problems with this new release a lot of people will not get it eats up lot ram. If you've got anything under 14 you're gonna struggle
It's not even going on the MacBook 217
I've run it on the imac
Seriously who designed this feature? so annoying
i dont like this feature
DIDNT WORK. WONT TURN OFF. WHAT THE FK APPLE I AM SUPER ANNOYED
I wish Apple would NOT just turn these things on by default.
It's damn annoying!
They do this with everything. With iOS 17, all my ringtones were reset and I had to spend about 15 minutes getting back the custom settings I had before the update!

useless and annoying... hot corners are ok thanks
