Windows 11 is here and lots of of us might have already downloaded and upgraded from Windows 10. When we use Windows, we quite often save files around the desktop due to the ease of access to those files. But simultaneously, the desktop could possibly get too much cluttered due to a large amount of files saved. Also, some of the apps while you install will add a shortcut to the desktop. When you can delete the unwanted files and sort them, they may look messy sometimes. This is where you can hide the desktop icons in Windows 11.

Just how to cover the icons around the desktop in Windows 11? This method is pretty simple.

All you need to do is to right-click on the desktop and choose View-> Show desktop icons. If the option is checked automatically, select it once again that it is disabled. Now you will be able to see a cleaner desktop on your Windows 11 with no icons.

If you wish to bring back the icons on the desktop, you need to simply repeat the same process and you'll get back all of the icons around the desktop. This is pretty useful for those who have a lot of icons cluttered around the desktop.
