A couple of weeks ago we reported that Google was testing how-to schema on desktop search. It seems like that test is now over. According to Brodie Clark and also by Glenn Gabe, the test ran from around May 20th through June 4th or 5th.
Here is what it looked like for that time being:
I was never able to see it but many did. But now it is gone.
Here are Google Search Console charts from Brodie and Glenn showing it no longer showing up:
Yep, seeing the same thing here. Tails off on 6/4 and gone by 6/5. pic.twitter.com/1ygjvFZEAk

I wonder why Google won't show this on desktop?
Forum discussion at Twitter.
Update on June 18th: It is showing again starting June 16th:
Yep, I'm seeing that start on 6/16 again.
