How can I switch off this annoying feature of Sonoma

In Sonoma, when I click the desktop, my open windows disappear and a dark band surrounds the display. Clicking again removes this incredibly annoying "feature" (I assume it has a fancy name!).


How do I switch this off?


Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Hello, there is an switch in settings, under "desktop and dock" that disables this feature. You can change it from "always" to "just in Stage Manager". I do not have MacOS in english, but i will place here an screenshot with highlighted the switch i mean - hopefully it will help you.

Hope it works,
