How to automatically hide desktop icons using keyboard shortcuts in Windows 11?
Is there native support or an easy way to quickly hide or show desktop icons in Windows 11 using keyboard shortcuts (similar to Mac's auto-hide feature)?

One method is to right-click on the desktop, select “View,” then uncheck “Show desktop icons” to hide them. I should mention there's no native keyboard shortcut for this, but you can create a shortcut script.
