You can think of the Windows 10 desktop as a workspace where you interact with your apps. If you work with a number of apps at one time, however, you may find that one desktop just isn't enough space to contain everything.

If you have more than one display connected to your device, the desktop extends across all of those displays, and you can move apps from one display to another as needed.

Whether you have only one display or just want more flexibility in how you organize your running apps, you can actually work with more than one desktop in Windows 10. Think of these virtual desktops as additional work surfaces, each containing its own set of open apps. For example, you may use one desktop for your work apps and create a second desktop for some personal apps.

To create a virtual desktop, click or tap the Task View icon on the taskbar. Then, click or tap the New desktop link in the bottom-right corner of the display. Windows 10 creates a new desktop, as shown in Figure 3.22. Then, simply drag apps from the task view to the desired desktop to move them to that desktop. If you want to add apps that are not yet open, close the task view and open the apps. Then, click the Task View icon and drag the now open apps to the desired desktop.

FIGURE 3.22 You can create multiple desktops in Windows 10.

TIP

You can quickly create a new virtual desktop by pressing Windows + Ctrl + D without opening the task view.

To switch to a different desktop, press Windows + Ctrl+← or Windows + Ctrl+→. These keystrokes cycle through the virtual desktops in order. You can also open the task view and click or tap a desktop to make it active. To remove a virtual desktop, open the task view, hover the mouse over the desktop's icon and click the Close button. Removing a desktop does not close any apps that are on it. Instead, the apps move to the next virtual desktop to the left.

CAUTION

Virtual desktops do not survive logging off or shutting down the device. You can't create and save virtual desktop configurations. Instead, you must create them each time you log on to the device.
