Hi, I am using VM instance with windows app. On all my instance Windows 11 my scroll is not working throughout the system. On my host machine windows 11 it is working.

Multiple instances of Windows Explorer

So in the Processes tab, under Apps, however many Windows Explorers I actually have open is however many it will list, and expanding will list the specific folder that is open, there is no problem there. The problem is when you scroll down to Windows processes, that's where all the multiple instances are. Right now it's only showing 7 but that is because I restarted my computer a couple hours ago, I've counted as many as 40+ before.

 

Any way to get multiple instances of Settings app?

Hi,

According to this it is not possible:
Open more than one instance of Windows 10 settings - Super User

According to this, some apps can have multiple instances running:

How do I open the existing instance of an app from another virtual desktop?

Thank you for the reply.

To clarify, I don't want to "open" an existing instance of Chrome (or any app for that matter). I simply want to be able to "go to" that instance from any VD instead of being forced to open a new instance.

For example, if I'm on VD 1 and Chrome is running on VD 2, I want to be able to click the Chrome icon on the Windows taskbar and jump to that instance of Chrome instead of being forced to open a new instance on VD 1.

When you click the target app (e.g. Chrome) on the KDE taskbar, one of the two things happens:

• If there's only one instance of that app running, it will take you right there. If that instance is running on a different virtual desktop, KDE Plasma will switch to the VD where it's running.
• If the are multiple instances of the app running, you will see the list of all those instances above the app on the taskbar. Click any of those instances, and KDE Plasma will take you to that instance. Again, VDs will be switched automatically if necessary.

This way, the application does not have to do anything. The desktop manager lets you pick whichever instance of the app running on any of the VDs. In other words, it gives you access to all instances of the app running on any of the VDs right from the
taskbar. That's what I want to do in Windows as well.

Hope I'm clearer now.
