How to show desktop

Rumor has it that Command–Mission Control = Show the desktop.

Not on my laptop

So, can anyone explain how I show the desktop?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Command Key send me to home screen I’ve been dealing with this for like 3 hours!! Every time I use the command key it shows me the home screen. You don’t realize how often you use something until it doesn’t work correctly. I found a fix though!! It’s system preferences > mission control. The last option should say Show Desktop, it’ll probably say F11 or - if its working correctly. If it’s anything other than those two options, that’s the problem.

Spread with Thumb and 3 fingers is the gesture on a trackpad you will need to expose desktop as its stating you have a 13" MacBook Pro I assume it has a Touch Bar you can go click the arrow on the Touch Bar and then click the mission control icon.
