Different icons using windows 11 desktops feature

Hi Marois. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

The problem with work & School accounts is they impose Group Policy that takes over the PC until you get rid of it. The best solution is to shrink C to make another partition and install a separate Windows for work & school or your personal accounts, with a Dual Boot menu to choose between the two. Here's a guide how to do it , even using two of the same editions of Windows:

However some are lucky and able to keep their personal accounts separate and unaffected by Group Policy of the organization. That's done by creating separate accounts in Settings > Accounts > Famiy & Other Users > Other Users.

Otherwise here's about the most you can do with Virtual Desktops:

Can you move icons into different virtual desktops ?

That is one of my most wanted features. Unfortunately, I have not found any way to accomplish that yet.

In Windows 11 they have at least taken one small step toward that by allowing you to change the desktop background for each virtual desktop, but no change in what icons can be displayed on a per desktop basis.

 

Desktop shows different shortcuts than Windows explorer desktop

Hello Glyn,

We regret for the inconvenience.

At this point, I suggest you to check if the same issue occur when logged in through a different Local Administrator user account. This will help us ascertain if the issue is user account specific.



Follow the steps mentioned below:

• Assuming that you are already logged on to your user account in Windows 10, click the Start button.
• From the Start menu, click your name from the top of the left pane.
• From the displayed options click Sign out.
  
• From the login screen, click to the different user account you want to switch to.

However, if you do not have a separate user account, I suggest you to create another administrator user account by referring to the Microsoft article here: Set
up accounts.

Write to us with the updated status and the required information for us to be able to assist you further.

Thank you.
