Windows 10: How can I output the virtual desktop to another display on windows 10?

For example: I have a two virtual desktops on my laptop. On the first I use for web browser, some office word, excel and etc. On second virtual desktop run Pycharm and some a programs. So when I connecting my laptop to the external displayHDMI I want to use first virtual desktop on my laptop and second virtual desktop on the display. But when i press 'win+tab' and choose the second virtual desktop, it's selected on two displays. How can I fix it?

Virtual Desktops Windows 10?

Hi Lucas,

Modifying the settings of a virtual desktop requires complex steps. Because of this, we might need to refer you to our Microsoft TechNet forums for further assistance. For us to direct you to the correct forum category, we would need the answers to the following:

• Are you using a Windows Server?
• Is your device connected to a domain network?
• What virtual desktop are you using?

If you are using Hyper-V, you can use this article published
by Andre Da Costa as your reference on how to use Windows 10's built in Hyper-V for creating Virtual Machines.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

How to enable a fake second display in Windows 10 as Windows 8.1? Not Virtual Desktop

If you use window's virtual desktop it can't render both desktops at once, only the "Active" desktop can be rendered.

The problem with that is apps that render the desktop like Team Viewer or "Virtual Desktop" (not the one built in to windows but the one for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) to be able to display more than one screen need the video card to think that there
is more than one physical screen attached.

Another situation is if you are using a processor that supports Intel® Quick Sync Video to transcode video you must have a monitor connected to the video output built in to the motherboard, if
you are using a discrete graphics card you can't use the video acceleration unless you used the trick listed in the first post or have a dummy plug connected.

Using the built in virtual desktop feature just won't work for those situations.

 

virtual desktop as multiple monitor

Hello Dan,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Virtual desktops lets you create multiple, separate desktops that each can display different open windows and apps. Multiple desktops are great for quickly switching desktops. The idea of having multiple virtual desktops is being able to order programs
according to a set of tasks.

PC can’t have different virtual desktop on each monitor. However, we can
configure the taskbar for multiple displays to send windows from one monitor to another. We can customize Windows to have a taskbar shown on only one display, and a different taskbar on the other display. To do that, follow the below mentioned
steps.

• Right click on the taskbar and select
  Taskbar Settings.
  
• Scroll down to Multiple displays section and choose
  Taskbar where window is open under Show taskbar buttons on option.
  

By choosing that particular option in Settings, you can set its independent taskbar in addition to your primary display. Only the open windows are shown on the taskbar in that particular display.

As a workaround, we can create a new profile to switch your main display to another. By doing that, you can switch between profiles which will be having different displays in it.
To do that, follow the below mentioned steps.

• Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Graphics properties > Select
  Display > make changes to change your main displays > click on
  Save profile > assign a name to it.
  
• You can create multiple profiles to make different monitors as main displays each time.
  
• To apply the profile, right click anywhere on the
  desktop and select Graphics Options > Profiles > in there you can select the new account which you have created to switch the display.
  

Hope it helps.
