Hello!
The title says it all, but when you use the switch desktops shortcut (ctrl + windows + left/right) in the new windows 11 update it will make it say at the bottom middle "Desktop 1" or "Desktop 2" and won't go away until a minute. How to remove?
Thanks!!

    Dear Alex,

    Thank you so much for your reply and the screenshot!

    As I checked on my end, it switches very quickly, even faster than a second when switching from Desktop 1 to 2 or 3 using Ctrl + Windows + left/right. Mostly, it takes about 3 seconds, not 1 minute. However, on your end, it took around 1 minute for Desktop 1 to be removed from your desktop. Please try switching off Task View, restart your PC, and then, once your PC is back, try using Task View again to check if it still takes 1 minute to remove from your desktop.

    Since when have you been facing this issue? What steps have you taken to resolve this problem?

    Is your computer working normally when using it, and have you ensured that all pending Windows updates are installed?

    Have you tried running "sfc /scannow"? If not, please give it a try and check if it resolves the issue.
