The Desktop button on the Windows 11 taskbar does not immediately display the desktop when clicked

When you click the Show Desktop button in the far right corner of the taskbar, open windows are not fully minimized; one or two windows remain visible on the desktop. The desktop is not fully displayed until you click the button again or manually minimize the remaining windows, which reduces the efficiency of quickly returning to the desktop.
