but now i found a problem
when i switch to another desktop using the script below
the desktop i switched to would not show the gui
is it possible to also show the gui in all the desktop when its initially ran?
or is it possible to move the gui to the desktop that is switched to after clicking the button?

Hi,

or is it possible to move the gui to the desktop that is switched to after clicking the button?

This is an unreliable way of doing it using the neutered IVirtualDesktopManager interface. IVirtualDesktopManagerInternal is much better and far more reliable, but sadly, unless you know what to change (and how to find the new values needed), code using it will break with each new Windows 10 major release, so it's best to stick with something like this.

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.

return

   SendInput ^#{Left}
   movewindow(hwndGui)

	if (!VarSetCapacity(desktopID))
		VarSetCapacity(desktopID, 16)

	try IVirtualDesktopManager := ComObjCreate("{aa509086-5ca9-4c25-8f95-589d3c07b48a}", "{a5cd92ff-29be-454c-8d04-d82879fb3f1b}")
	if (IVirtualDesktopManager) {
		Loop 10 { ; wait to see until our main GUI is not on the starting virtual desktop
			hr := DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(IVirtualDesktopManager+0), 3 * A_PtrSize), "Ptr", IVirtualDesktopManager, "Ptr", guiHwnd, "Int*", onCurrentDesktop)
			if (hr == "" || hr < 0) {
				ObjRelease(IVirtualDesktopManager)
				return
			}
			Sleep 100
			if (!onCurrentDesktop)
				break
		}
		if (!onCurrentDesktop) {
			gui tmp: +Hwndfuckms ; create a new temporary GUI belonging to our process on the new virtual desktop
			gui tmp: show
			hr := DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(IVirtualDesktopManager+0), 4 * A_PtrSize), "Ptr", IVirtualDesktopManager, "Ptr", fuckms, "Ptr", &desktopID) ; get the GUID of the virtual desktop hosting our temporary window
			Gui tmp: destroy
			if (hr == 0 && DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(IVirtualDesktopManager+0), 5 * A_PtrSize), "Ptr", IVirtualDesktopManager, "Ptr", guiHwnd, "Ptr", &desktopID) == 0) ; move the main window to the same desktop
				WinActivate ahk_id %guiHwnd% ; re-activate the window

EDIT: You're welcome
