2. Go to “Desktop & Dock”
3. Find the settings for “Desktop & Stage Manager”
4. Look for “Click Wallpaper to Reveal Desktop”
5. Click the dropdown menu next to that, and select “Only in Stage Manager” to disable the feature (or choose “Always” to enable the reveal desktop click feature)
6. That’s it.
