This means we are trying to display Desktop 1 on Monitor 1 and Desktop 2 on Monitor 2. This function is invaluable for anyone who is in the consulting space and sharing screens on one desktop while having many build documents open on another desktop. This function opens a world of professional consulting.If Windows is simply not going to invest time an money into this request from

    How to display different virtual desktops on different monitors

    I like the new virtual desktop feature in windows 10. Finally !! they decided to implement that.

    I however would like to be able to setup different desktops on different monitors. Here is a simple scenario.

    I setup two virtual desktops lets call them desktop 1 and desktop 2. Now I have two monitors on my machine, monitor 1 and monitor 2.

    This is what I would like to have.

    Display Desktop 1 on Monitor 1 and Desktop 2 on Monitor 2.

    I distribute my windows across the two desktops and here is where the problem starts. When I activate Desktop 1, i see all the windows there on Monitor 1 but Monitor 2 goes blank (just the wallpaper shows). When I activate Desktop 2, I see the windows there
    on monitor 2 but now monitor 1 goes blank (just the wallpaper shows).

    I would like to able to activate both dektops at the same time on different monitors. Anybody else out there that was able to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Baran,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    It is not possible to display 2 different Desktop screens in 2 monitors. I suggest you to refer to the following article to know more about this feature.

    http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwi...in-windows-10-the-power-of-windowsmultiplied/


    Since you are unable to activate both the monitors at the same time, I suggest you to refer to the following Microsoft article and check if it helps.

    Display Different Desktops on different monitors in the Windows platform

    Can Windows 11 have feature added urgently - to display different Desktops on separate Monitors?

    I would like to display Desktop 1 on monitor 1, and desktop 2 on monitor 2. Windows 10 this was not possible - refer to enquiry on this link: Different desktops in different monitors in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

    also on this link... : How to display different virtual desktops on different monitors - Microsoft Community

    Is it now possible with windows 11? Surely it is... but I can't find a way, nor can I find any help on the subject for windows 11?

    If not when can it go onto your features request list? Like can it go on there for a Dec 2022 or at the latest a Jan 2023 Update.....
