As for me, over the years, I have more than developed the habit of using
windows key+m which minimizes all programs, consequently placing me in
the desktop. Some times I think to use windows+d, but hardly ever.
I've noticed that with 8.1 there was an actual window for the desktop,
and honestly, I found that a bit inconvenient.
I don't remember exactly, but it seems like I remember the desktop being
in its own window in 10 for a while, but I'm really not certain about
that. Could somebody refresh my memory. That might have changed with an
update.
Anyway, I so far am a happy camper with 10.

You can't get to the desktop using alt--tab, but windows-d works well,
so do that instead and you should be good to go.

Hi Everyone,
I downloaded Windows 10 to my windows 8.1 computer last week and have been
happy with it except for one small problem that I am hoping someone can help
me with.
I am a person who usually has several programs open at once but since I
updated to Windows 10 I am unable to do this anymore.
I always would open one program then use ALT TAB to go to the desktop to
open another program and open the new program and use ALT TAB to bounce back
and forth between the programs.
But since installing Windows 10 I am not able to do this.
For example if I am in Microsoft Outlook and press ALT TAB I go to Window
Eyes then if I press ALT TAB again I return to Outlook but I do not go to
the desktop.
This is becoming very frustrating to me because I work from home and I often
need to have more than one program opened at a time.
I wrote to the support team of ASquared last night and they sent me a
message early afternoon today telling me to go to WE, go to apps, arrow to
diagnostics, then refresh accessability libraries and once that completed
to reboot my system. I did this and it made no difference at all on my
system.
I will say though if I have a sighted person like my spouse open another
program for me on my computer that I need then using the ALT TAB I can
bounce back and forth between the programs with no problem. It is just
getting to the desktop with the ALT TAB that is the problem.
Any help will be greatly appreciated because it will relieve a lot of stress
from my already stressed mind.
Dave
