    Windows 10 Virtual Desktops Problem


    I have a problem when switching between virtual desktops with my touchpad. I have a 4-finger gesture swiping left and right which switched between desktops. The problem is that it is very erratic and more often than not it jumps between the first and the last virtual desktop, for instance if I have 3 desktops it will skip the middle one. This problem does not happen when I use my touchscreen which makes me think that there is a problem with the touchpad. I have tried updating touchpad drivers but it did nothing. I have only had this laptop for a month and the problem started a few weeks ago. Other than that there I do not have any problems with the touchpad or its sensitivity. If somebody knows how to fix this please please help because it's really becoming an annoying problem.

    :)

  2. Virtual Desktops Windows 10?

    Hi Lucas,

    Modifying the settings of a virtual desktop requires complex steps. Because of this, we might need to refer you to our Microsoft TechNet forums for further assistance. For us to direct you to the correct forum category, we would need the answers to the following:

    • Are you using a Windows Server?
    • Is your device connected to a domain network?
    • What virtual desktop are you using?

    If you are using Hyper-V, you can use this article published
    by Andre Da Costa as your reference on how to use Windows 10's built in Hyper-V for creating Virtual Machines.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Virtual desktops

    In the article you linked it says talks about 4 goals Microsoft has with virtual desktops:

    • Give you more desktop space to group related windows
    • Help you quickly locate and switch to any window or group of windows
    • Let you easily re-organize your groups and move windows as tasks evolve
    • Keep you in control of the degree of separation between your grouped windows
    Not being able to control what desktop the program opens on really doesn't fit in with these goals.

    Give me one good reason for why it is suppose force me to change virtual desktop when I open a program, just one good reason and I will consider to drop the issue. To me this sounds like virtual desktops isn't ready yet and you refuse to acknowledge that
    there are bugs, because this makes it very hard to work with multiply virtual desktops.
