    Help needed getting Win 10 task view to save


    I have Windows 10 pro fully updated. I have a dual monitor setup with the same 4 apps always running on the secondary extended monitor. Even though my computer runs 24/7 every time I have to restart it I have to start and reposition those 4 apps. If possible I would like to use Task View to do this for me, but it doesn't seem to save desktops over restarts. Is there any way to get this to work? If not, any good free 3rd party apps that would do this?

    Thanks for your time and help with the above problem.

    :)

  2. Task View

    It's the Task View, not the Task Bar, that is the problem. I should be getting the popup (right clicking on Task View) showing the options for additional Desktops, not the five options for the Task Bar. A 'chat' with MS Solutions said that I should reinstall
    Windows 10 to MAYBE correct this problem. Any suggestions to correct?? Thanks for your interest...I really appreciate it.
    The Task View is the only feature that I may like on 10!!

  3. Windows 10 task view assign applications

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    As per the description, I understand that you are facing difficulty in assigning the applications to a specific virtual desktop. Let me help you in clearing your doubts.

    The virtual desktops feature in Windows 10 is called “Task View” and is located on the Taskbar.

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Click Task view. When you open the Task View interface for the first time, or you only have one desktop, the “Add a desktop” button is available.

    Step 2: Click it to add virtual desktop.

    Step 3: Open the apps that you want to use on that desktop.

    Step 4: Click Task view again to switch between desktops.

    Hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on Windows related query and we will be happy to assist you further.
