  1. Disable "show desktop" for certain apps?


    I'm using NoteBot as my sticky-note app, mostly because the default sticky note app displays each sticky note as a seperate window for some reason, making task-switching a nightmare.

    However when I use the show desktop command, all of my windows are hidden, including the notes app.

    Is there a way to make the show desktop command not apply to this app?

    Virtual Desktops showing apps not in certain desktops

    Hi, I have a problem with W10 virtual desktops.

    I'll explain it step by step :

    Go to virtual desktop 1
    Open full windowed Chrome
    Go to virtual desktop 2
    Open two different full windowed excels
    Hit windows-tab

    And you end up in this mess i'm attaching as a screenshot.

    If you click on destktop 3 icon, you'll be there, but excel will be shown, full windowed, as if you were on desktop 2.
    If you then minimize it, it goes to the desktop 2 taskbar.


    If you click on desktop 1 icon, you'll get there, but excels will be shown instead of Chrome. If you put the mouse over desktop 1 icon and then click Chrome above virtual desktops, you'll get to desktop 1 with Chrome being shown as normal.

    If you close one of the two excels, virtual desktops works again as expected.

    What can I test to solve this mess?

    Thanx a lot, I've been expecting a fix in every new compilation, with no luck.

    Certain apps not showing in Start Menu app list

    So,

    I'm on Windows 10, the latest version, and I have been having one issue. I have certain apps such as Cydia Impactor which doesn't show up in the app list. I can pin it to the start menu but I really want it in the list. This app was originally in the Documents
    folder and I shifted it into the Program Files (Non x86). I am unable to get this app into the Start Menu app list.

    Any solution?
